I think it's mostly a case of the left-ward part of the party being aware of the stakes here, while the centrist grouping still seems to think of this as any other election they can game for positioning and better headlines.

I crossed paths with a couple walking a long dog. "Excuse me," I said, "but is your border collie built on a corgi chassis?" The guy said I was exactly right but he'd never heard it put that way before and he's going to say it that way from now on.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

On the plus side, I've gotten my steps in while being sent to literally three different terminals by people who couldn't be bothered to look up the correct information before sending me to the wrong place. And since it took an hour to find my gate I don't have as long to wait.

There's someone sitting behind me at the gate with a voice like Sam Elliott. He's talking on the phone narrating the escapades of two kids playing in the opposite gate area, and it is utterly unnewsworthy but also delightful.

I think the humidity actually stopped the Friday night bonus fireworks! That's the only good thing I'll say about 80% humidity on a 90 degree night. The air is soup but at least it's not loud soup.

I'm in the bunker with the dogs, running a load of laundry and playing Tears of the Kingdom with the volume cranked to try to distract the dogs from fireworks. The big ones haven't even started but somebody is setting them off nearby. At least they had a good day with their buddy Avocado.

I really wish people listened to those of us who have spent years studying and writing about the far right and the coup they have been planning for decades. Because now they are just straight up telling you their plans because they are so emboldened by the fascist captured courts.

The Court ruling today is terrible but expected. I will just gently remind everyone that the election hasn’t happened yet. We shouldn’t assume the worst outcome as a foregone conclusion. That only encourages more apathy than many are already feeling.

saying this is NOT the same thing as saying that the situation is no big deal and everything will be fine - but the truth is, when things look really bad, ceding defeat before you've actually been *defeated* is a completely useless strategy.

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

The Biden administration is rolling out a new program: SUN Bucks (Summer EBT). It provides $120/child on top of existing benefits.
This is important because families that get free school lunches during the school year often have trouble during the summer months.
