The Orlando Magic, my previous hometown basketball team, just donated a large sum to #DeSantis PAC. No surprise -no matter what they say out loud, they’re owned by the #deVos family.

Rightwing Dreams of American Reconquista

A counter-revolutionary zeal and desire for vengeance is what unites Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Christopher Rufo, Nate Hochman, and the rest of today’s Right.

A thread, based on my new piece: https://thomaszimmer.substack.com/p/rightwing-dreams-of-american-reconquista

czarbucks,

@tzimmer_history One should be absolutely following Thomas, to keep up on the threats to our democracy, and our fading vision of a multi-cultural America.

czarbucks,

@ai6yr This was an absolutely amazing, in-depth, excellent and terrifying article about heat, water, population and housing in Arizona. We will all be facing these issue, but AZ will hit them sooner. And none of us are ready.

A buoy near Manatee Bay recorded an astounding 101.1-degree water temperature Monday, a temperature common for hot tubs."

    @ai6yr I’m sorry, I have to go pick up my eyes, I rolled them so hard they fell out. Honestly, videoing?

    And can they just call them tornadoes, water spout sounds so cute and harmless.

    That #inflation you are seeing isn't going into #wages, and isn't tied to interest rates--at least, any rise tied to the price of Pepsi, Gatorade, and Lay's potato chips.

    czarbucks,

    @ai6yr Funny. Stupid Biden and his inflation…

    Yes, let's blame the people trying to make it better, and keep voting for the ones who get paid by the profiteers. That will fix it!

    I very much appreciate getting to read this. Hearing so many things that make this moment in our history clear.

    This feels a little early for such a dynamic-looking storm to be hitting the mountains.

    Why is noone talking about reduced food production in this blistering global heat?

    Peaches gone. Vermont crops drowned. No one reporting.

    Thank you for the warnings.

    Frequently it looks like we'll get hammered, and the mountains shear it off to the south. Poor Highlands.

    Had a patio lunch at #CoffeeCupCafe in #Clyde #NC today. Not a bad chick salad on sourdough, but the standout was the #WaynesvilleSodaJerk sodas. It's been a couple of years, and they're always a treat. This was my fav, the Lemon/Lavender.

    Sun stayed away, wind was nice, no rain. Perfect. I mean, except for the freeway ramp right there.

    #Lunch

    czarbucks,

    @ai6yr They use recognizable ingredients, really a neat company. Not too sweet, not tart. Mostly lemon, but with a hint (I'm a huge culinary lavender fan.)

    I've tried all of their flavors, but always come back to this one.

    Just got my #WGA tshirt, trying to support the striking writers, actors, and everyone else who creates and should be paid for their work.

    This was linked off their site, and printed at Worx, a union shop, with made-in-America apparel.

    Trump's announcement that he'd received notice of another likely federal indictment was a pastiche of nonsense, lies and rationalization. But it's important to understand what he's claiming — and why it's dishonest — as his supporters circle the wagons. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/18/trump-letter-response-j6/

    czarbucks,

    @pbump Everything you say is true and I wish that mattered.

    , Day 2. Yeast is active. Smells pleasantly like... yeast. Made with (not quite ripe) that we removed from an outside cabinet. Currently exposed to air, will probably air lock this today since the yeast has started up now.

    czarbucks,

    @ai6yr You are a cruel man…
