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.

Keep in mind that so many MAGA folks honestly don't know about or understand the conditions in other countries. They don't know it's cruel because they don't know what cruel is.
It's a let them eat cake situation. Let them go back to their home countries, that crowd says.
They are pathetically ignorant about what it's like in those countries.
