It’s not summer yet, but more than 17 million people in the western United States are already under excessive heat warnings as temperatures climb 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit above average, with large swaths of California expecting to see thermometers hit 108F (42.2C). Meteorologists are saying the scorching weather is caused by a heat dome, when high pressure traps heat over an area, making it hotter the longer it lasts. The BBC has more.

Fuck this guy.

Riverside County.

Where Trump is a God.

Where the KKK and neo-Nazis openly flaunt their hatred.

“Munitions made in the United States were used in the deadly Israeli strike on a displacement camp in Rafah on Sunday, a CNN analysis of video from the scene and a review by explosive weapons experts has found.” The GBU-39 identified was manufactured by Boeing in California. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/28/middleeast/gaza-us-munitions-rafah-strike-analysis-intl-hnk/index.html #usa #gaza #genocide #california #boeing #israel #industry #news

[BoltzGalaxy] So when Chase Daniels was on The Herd, speaking about Justin Herbert’s former QB coach Shane Day. He mentioned there was nobody in the building that Justin loved more. So Brandon Staley stepped in to have him FIRED 😳. Now that Staley is gone, Herbert wanted him back! https://www.rawchili.com/3484286/

For #MountainMonday:

Low clouds hang over the southern slopes of the Laguna Mountains as monsoonal moisture makes its way through the Southern California desert in September 2016. The solitary tree is a Pinyon Pine.

[Audio] #SlowBurn: #GaysAgainst #JohnBriggs

During the anti-Briggs #campaign, a #RichardPryor #comedy #set became a #public #fiasco and laid bare longstanding #divisions in the #gay #community. With the #movement low on cash and running out of time, thousands of #gay #Californians decided their only #option was to tell the world who they were.

#Proposition6, also known as #TheBriggsInitiative, was introduced in 1978 by #conservative #California #statesenator #JohnBriggs. This #initiative aimed to #ban #gays and #lesbians, and possibly their #supporters, from #working in California's #publicschools.

The measure was rooted in the #fear and #prejudice that #gay #teachers would negatively #influence #children and #promote the "#homosexuallifestyle."

— (1/10)

The #initiative faced strong opposition from various #civilrights groups, #educators, and #LGBTQ+ #advocates, including #HarveyMilk, the first #openlygay #elected #official in #California. Milk and others argued that the #Proposition was #discriminatory and based on unfounded #fears.

As the #campaign against #Proposition6 intensified, #activists realized that #traditional #campaigning might not be sufficient.

An arrested University of #California #Irvine professor makes the connection between paying for #police repression of #protest and starving public #education with austerity:

“These police officers out here today: that’s thousands of student scholarships. Thousands of students could’ve been able to go to school and have books and have housing”

In the most Democrat state of all. Don’t tell me blue states in a fascist nation are refuge. #studentprotests #freepalestine #california #police #Democrats #news

#ClimateChange comes for your orange juice.

#Florida: hurricanes, unseasonable frost, insect infestation;
#Brazil, #California, #Texas: #ExtremeHeat;
#Spain, #Portugal, #Italy, #France: yellow dragon disease.

"Futures prices for frozen concentrated #OrangeJuice have roughly doubled in the last year to more than $3 a pound and could rise further, prompting warnings that prices are set to surge further on the shelves."
