Teen Vogue nails it again. The American empire (like all others) is built on hate and cruelty. We are simply watching it decline. Unfortunately, also like all other empires, it is going to kill a bunch of people on the way down. teenvogue.com/story/trump-admi

The right-wing Supreme Court only believes in letting the strong trample weak. These originalists should probably read the Declaration of Independence.

“It turned out, I had made a terrible mistake: I had remained friends with someone who had appeared on Kash Patel’s enemies list. How did Bongino find out about this private friendship? I honestly don’t know. What business was it of his? None at all. Was I accused of any sort of misconduct? No. It didn’t matter.

Tiny creature gorges, gets fat, and locks up planet-warming carbon

bbc.com · Jul 04

Scientists find out how the epic deep sea migration of a tiny animal is storing planet-warming carbon.

Tiny creatures gorge, get fat, and help fight #GlobalWarming

"If this biological pump didn't exist, atmospheric #CO2 levels would be roughly twice those as they are at the moment. So the oceans are doing a pretty good job of mopping up CO2 and getting rid of it," explains co-author Prof Angus Atkinson.

"A tiny, obscure animal often sold as aquarium food has been quietly protecting our planet from global warming by undertaking an epic migration, according to new research.

These 'unsung heroes' called zooplankton gorge themselves and grow fat in spring before sinking hundreds of metres into the deep ocean in Antarctica where they burn the fat.

This locks away as much planet-warming carbon as the annual emissions of roughly 55 million petrol cars, stopping it from further warming our atmosphere, according to researchers.

This is much more than scientists expected. But just as researchers uncover this service to our planet, threats to the zooplankton are growing."

From Sherrilyn Ifill - the entire essay is worth reading today:

This July 4th we must question America. We need less fireworks and hot dogs, and more dedicated time asking the hard questions about our nation. But the hardest questions are those we must ask of ourselves.

What are we prepared to do to fight for the idea of a truly just America even if we have never seen it? Where did we fail as citizens to uphold the sacred obligation to protect our democracy? Do enough Americans believe that it is possible to create a multi-racial democracy in which equality and justice and our core values? This was the America that the framers of the 14th Amendment made possible.

Ifill asks the right questions. Radical reactionaries, kleptocrats, and theocrats want to burn it all down, and maybe they will. But maybe we can prevent them from being the ones who build what comes after. Could we find a new vision, a new Reconstruction that won't be abandoned but will address the inequities that have piled up since the failed Reconstruction like bodies in a mass grave.

"If America as we know it cannot be saved and we are truly in the abyss, what is the new America we can create when we emerge from this dark place? What is our vision for that new America? What must we do now to lay the foundation for its creation?" #July4th #freedom #America sherrilyn.substack.com/p/i-que

And now more than ever we need to be reminded that we should be standing, singing, working beside our fellow people rather that shouting at them. We need to work together, because we have more in common that we have in difference.
