SCOTUS sinks to a new low. Expect the next moves they make to twist the knife in the back of justice and due process. Maybe not just for migrants. Infinite resistance is the only viable response: ∞Ω Supreme Court Allows Trump to Deport Migrants to Third Countries www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

I deeply resent the fact that I have to spend time otherwise needed to help solve serious #climate and #water problems to trying to defend America, science, and democracy from homegrown fascists, ideologues,war mongers, and just plain dangerous idiots. But here we are.

Even without subsidies, wind and solar are cheaper energy sources. Fossil fuels’ pollution and climate effects add to their costs. #ClimateChangeBugsMe Do the math and act, vote, and set policy accordingly. Vote out or veto anyone who makes things worse.

Not acting on climate change cots more than removing its causes & preparing for its effects. Alternatively there’s huge ROI on conservation, building out clean energy, & reducing emissions. #ClimateChangeBugsMe Invest in a viable future or spread economic chaos, injustice, suffering, & death.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

“It is an injury for a U.S. citizen to watch what is being done to noncitizens in the name of the United States. It is an additional injury to be rebuked by our government when we attempt to do something about it.”
