Record Mediterranean Sea #heatwave intensifying at 6C (10F) + above normal! It’s not coincidence, it’s climate change. Research shows a huge increase since the 1980s. In fact, the long-term warming trend explains over 90% of the increase in MHW frequency, intensity, and duration. #EU #Europe

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
