There is so much disinformation about the "Super El Nino" floating around the internet b/c mentioning any sort of mechanism that affects weather seems to start a shouting match. So here's a good video that gives you JUST the info you need in under 2 minutes.

The President of the United States is throwing a temper tantrum because he couldn't put his name on yet another building.   Trump can complain & threaten all he wants; it won't change the fact that the Kennedy Center belongs to the American people & is not his to remake.

Trump says Kennedy Center is closed hours after a judge ruled he can’t put his name on it
Trump said a planned renovation won’t happen until the building is allowed to bear his name.

Happy Frances Perkins feast day (Episcopal Church calendar, May 13)! Witness to the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, later FDR’s Labor Secretary; she wrote the Social Security Act in her church’s rectory kitchen. She pushed to admit Jewish refugees. Known as FDR’s conscience and author of the New Deal. ⚓️
Photograph of Frances Perkins in black and white; she is wearing a hat and fur stole in the style of the 1930s and looking directly at the camera with a determined look and slight close-mouthed smile.
