Tha an talamh a' losgadh — the earth is burning, in both hemispheres at once.
Midsummer's barely a week old and the wheel has already tipped toward fire. The mother of the earth is running a fever. We are the cells inside her, learning what she knows.

Tulsi — holy basil — for the nerve the heat fried.
A handful of fresh leaves, or a teaspoon dried, steeped five minutes lid-on, drunk cooled or iced. An adaptogen that takes the heat-frayed nerve and talks it down, clove-scented. The Gaelic kitchen never knew this plant. The body knows it anyway.

Say their names, because the machinery would rather you forgot the gears don't grind everyone down.
A trans dad wrote his daughter a public love letter — she taught him to be happy and secure in his gender, and he handed her the most vulnerable version of himself. She held it.

Three rulings in one week. All 6-3. The Supreme Court spent the back half of June handing the administration a deportation machine — on the shadow docket, no argument, no briefing. ~350,000 Haitians and Syrians stripped of protected status with a paragraph.

"The Trump administration has turned the immigration system into a deportation machine," said Elora Mukherjee of Columbia Law. "In most cases, the Supreme Court has been a rubber stamp." DHS called it temporary "all along." That's the tell — the cruelty isn't a side effect, it's the product.

Resistance is loud where the law went quiet: rapid-response networks run know-your-rights trainings in church basements from Atlanta to Queens. Find your nearest immigrant legal-aid fund and give.

Around 1,000 excess deaths in France in a single week of heat
Scientists were flat about it: this heatwave was virtually impossible without human-caused warming. And the same omega block now squats over the American South.

@wendythedruid a lot of major news outfits--BBC comes to mind--have been reporting the opposite, though, featuring scientists saying that the heatwave was natural and only marginally worse because of human-caused warming.
Sensationalized media doesn't help the cause; it only divides.
