Monday, July 1, 2019

And another day of horrible things yelled at congresswomen, ‘inhumane conditions’ at the border, a disgusting border patrol Facebook group, keeping secrets in Texas, decreasing sea ice, and frozen sperm in outer space all comes to a close:

“I will outwork your hate. I will outlove your hate. I will always put my country first. ... And you all can outscream me, but I will never stop speaking truth to power.” -- Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan)

“It’s very dangerous and the minute that we lose our own humanity, we’ve gone into our very dark place,” Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) said. “Unfortunately, our country has gone to a very dark place.”

Government watchdog warned as far back as May that conditions at an El Paso border station were so bad that border agents were arming themselves against possible riots. The findings counter the statement by a top Trump admin official that reports of poor conditions for migrants at border stations were “unsubstantiated.”

Democrats decry 'inhumane conditions' at migrant detention camps. Man, the things the protestors yelled at the members of Congress. Such horrible people that support Trump and the Republican Party.

Secret Border Patrol Facebook group mocked migrant deaths, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The three-year-old group, which has roughly 9,500 members, shared derogatory and sexist comments about lawmakers, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, ProPublica reported. “Fuck the hoes.” “There should be no photo ops for these scum buckets.” “If he dies, he dies.” There’s more at the ProPublica story. Wow.

Trump's 4th of July "Salute to America" event to include ticketed section for VIPs. Such the wannabe dictator.

Trump says there will be military tanks at his July 4th celebration. Read that again. Tanks.

Democrats investigating whistleblower claims Pompeo's security picked up Chinese food and his dog.

Hide the evidence': New Texas law may help GOP keep secrets about its redistricting strategy. Texas has passed a new law that lets lawmakers conceal their emails and other communications from public scrutiny. Because, you know...Texas.

After decades of gradual increases, Antarctic sea ice is now decreasing faster than that in the Arctic, according to new research based on 40 years' worth of satellite data. The planet doesn’t need us. We need the planet.

It's so hot that mussels are cooking in their shells and highways are buckling.

Summer hailstorm in Guadalajara, Mexico, buries cars, damages houses. More than 3 feet of hail fell during the freak summer storm.

For the first time, the U.S. got more electricity from renewables than coal.

Signs are pointing to a coming U.S. recession, according to an economic indicator that has preceded every recession over the past five decades.

Japan resumes commercial whaling after 30 years, in defiance of international criticism.

When it comes to artists losing the rights to their songs, Taylor Swift is hardly alone.

Frozen sperm retains its viability in outer space conditions. Human sperm samples exposed to microgravity are just as active and concentrated as on Earth.

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
