Striking signal for much above-normal temperatures across California, the Great Basin, northern Rockies and Desert Southwest from March 15-20. Temperatures will be more typical of summer than early spring (potentially 25 degrees above normal) in many areas and monthly records could be shattered.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.” aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

A new HHS appropriations House bill would completely ban federal funding for gender affirming care for all ages, including counseling and therapy by banning "social, psychological [and] behavioral" interventions. appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

A section of legislative text labeled "SEC. 244." It states that no funds made available by the Act may be used for any social, psychological, behavioral, or medical intervention intended to intentionally change the body of an individual. This includes disrupting development, inhibiting natural functions, or modifying appearance so that the body no longer corresponds to the individual’s biological sex.

One of Florida's highest-ranking officials is implementing policy based on beliefs not commensurate with reality.
In fact, a rudimentary middle school science education would be sufficient to explain why these conspiracy theories hold absolutely no merit whatsoever, and are as outlandish as they are apocryphal.
Many may consider it deeply concerning that such a high-ranking government official is subscribing to wild ideas from the Land of Make-believe.
