Wednesday, the 12 of July was one of the four hottest days ever recorded globally. On that day, members of Congress fiddled while not only Rome but the whole world burned. The Congressonal Women's Baseball Game was supposed to be business as usual, but Climate Defiance had other ideas and temporarily shut the game down.

With all the fireworks of hate coming from the Supreme Court, some protesters decided to show up at "Justice" Alito's house. This was a well-picked target, as in the leaked draft of the Dobbs decision Alito cited 17th century jurist Matthew Hale. Hale is famous for having two women executed for witchcraft as well as originating the doctrine that rape was legal within marriage. This earned Alito the "witchburner" name.
