Oceans have been absorbing the world’s extra heat. But there’s a huge payback | Climate crisis | The Guardian

The affects of the extra heat are almost everywhere. As the ocean heats up, it expands, pushing up sea levels around the globe. Just over one-third of the rise in global sea levels is down to thermal expansion.

More heat means more marine heatwaves that have devastated marine ecosystems, causing bleaching on coral reefs and killing underwater plants that act like forests, providing habitats for marine life and acting as nurseries for fisheries.

Mommy day-Dia das mães

Coisas da SIL

Dia das mães é todo dia.
Porque dia de lutas é até o fim…

Dia da mãe sorrir,  amar é sem fim…
De se preocupar, de gerar, de ensinar a caminhar…

Dia das mães lutadoras, guerreiras e sonhadoras.
Alguns sonhos que são ocultos, silenciosos…
Mas existe dentro do coração.

Dias das mães que acolhem, abraçam e encantam…
Que se doam e amam sem distinção.
Que possuem um olhar que fala, que diz, que servem além de suas forças…

Mãe vai além das emoções…
Assim as palavras não definem o tamanho do seu coração e do seu amor.

Feliz dia das mães.

We Love you Mommy!

Happy Mommy day!

Mother’s day is every day.
Because day of fights is until the end…

Mother’s Day smile, love is endless…
To worry, to generate, to teach how to walk…

Fighters, warriors and dreamers mother’s day.
Some dreams that are hidden, silent…
But it…

Mommy day-Mother’s Day – SIL stuff

Mother’s day is every day.
Because day of struggles is until the end …

Mother’s day smiling, loving is endless …
To worry, to generate, to teach how to walk …

Day of fighting, warrior and dreamy mothers.
Some dreams that are hidden, silent …
But it exists within the heart.

Days of mothers who welcome, embrace and enchant …
Who give and love without distinction.
Who have a look that speaks, that says, that serve beyond their strength …

Mother goes beyond emotions …
So words do not define the size of your heart and love.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Before Title 42, Congress Failed to Overhaul Immigration Policy – The New York Times

For nearly a quarter century, as successive waves of migrants have tried to enter and work in the United States, presidents have appealed to Congress to address gaps in an immigration system nearly everyone agrees is broken.

Yet year after year, congressional efforts to strike a wide-ranging bipartisan deal — one that would strengthen border security measures while expanding avenues for people to immigrate to the United States in an orderly and lawful way — have fractured under the strain of political forces…

US senator denounced as ‘profoundly ignorant man’ over remarks on Mexico | Republicans | The Guardian

Mexicans “would be eating cat food out of a can and living in a tent behind an Outback” Steakhouse restaurant if it were not for their nation’s proximity to the US, and their country should be invaded because of the presence of drug cartels there, the US senator John Neely Kennedy said.

The Louisiana Republican’s racist remarks drew a strong condemnation from Mexico’s foreign affairs secretary, Marcelo Ebrard, who called Kennedy “a profoundly ignorant man”. Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, meanwhile, urged the 37 million Americans of Mexican descent – along with other Latinos in the US – “not to vote for people with this very arrogant, very offensive and very foolish mentality” in the future.

The Life of Jordan Neely Before He Was Killed

Lance Clarke, an attorney, first saw Neely perform as Jackson at a family member’s birthday party ten years ago. Neely “was the guy,” he told me over the phone. “The kids thought he really was Michael.” Over the years, Clarke said he frequently saw Neely performing on the A train, but he appeared to be going through progressively harder times. “First he was performing with the costume, then the costume got tattered,” he said. “Then no costume. Then he couldn’t do the moves, the kicks. Then no performing at all.”

A few years ago, Clarke brought Neely home with him and gave him some food and a few bags of clothes. “He put his soul into performing and after a few years on the street, he had no soul left,” Clarke says. “He was just begging for help.”
