Not too hot this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a spot of nice in a country heating up drastically, from LA to the desert-like southwest, further on eastward to the deep south, and then upwards into midwest America, all in a boiling sweat with temperatures way above normal.

In the contextual white-supremacist bullshit circulating in America nowadays, an incident in Idaho this afternoon contains a possible mirror to some shitty shit that could be forthcoming from white assholes who have guns and the whine of fright in their bowels of scary gay people: Details, of what little there is, from The Washington Post…
