No end in sight for heat dome effect that has already kept most of So US & Mexico in triple-dig F temps for 3+ wks. How long must this persist b4 polit leaders in hardest-hit states stop blocking #ClimateCrisis adaptation & mitig efforts?

NBC's Bill Karins:

Last time El Paso, TX didn’t hit 100 dg was 6/15. Average high this time of yr: 95-97. Theyre under exces heat warning & highs near 105 next 6 days. After that, no relief in sight to record breaking 100 dg day streak

Last year on July 4th, we had another gun massacre at a lovely, small town July 4th parade, and seven people were killed and 48 wounded, by a kid with an AR-15, spraying the crowd with bullets from a Main Street store rooftop.

The new anti-gay ruling falsely dons First Amendment garb (the State cannot force someone to speak against their religious beliefs) when the decision really says business interests trump anti-discrimination laws, since the person wasn’t required to speak at all. #SCOTUS #LGBTQ

Via legal journalist Cristian Farias:

Recalling, for no particular reason, when the #SupremeCourt turned away a group of environmentalists and border communities that couldn’t challenge Donald #Trump’s border wall — a sweeping and unprecedented diversion of billions of dollars for a purpose Congress didn’t authorize.
