Just got word that all senior personnel at the Houston weather service office are gone (some took the early retirement offers, at least one left because, well, probably obvious reasons). This is the "thoughts and prayers" approach to keeping people safe from extreme weather events.

Western NC was long thought to be a “climate haven,” but Hurricane Helene and subsequent flooding showed virtually nowhere is safe from extreme weather disasters. In fact, 72% of the state’s counties may face “climate abandonment,” migration driven by a combination of factors.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is a ghoul, he would have complained that thirty pieces of silver was too much for Judas and stolen the nails from Jesus hands to sell them.

He’s got away with untold crimes, lies & offences. He’s achieved the highest office in the land. Twice. He’s lining his pockets on an industrial scale & persecuting his enemies for fun. But he’s still a miserable, bitter, humourless & furious man. Because deep inside, he knows exactly who he is.

An event which is quite literally put on by the Mayor of London. This year Sadiq said: "The Passion of Jesus welcomes thousands of Londoners of all backgrounds to Trafalgar Square to enjoy a live reenactment of the story of Jesus’s final days and resurrection." Who's losing?

“That’s when they suspended the constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn’t any rioting in the streets. People stayed home, watching their televisions, looking for direction. There wasn’t even an enemy you could put a finger on.” - Margaret Atwood, Handmaids Tale

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

ICE Agents should never be able to hide behind “just following orders.” They are Gestapo for a dictator and it should never be forgiven nor forgotten.

It fascinates me that giving to charity is considered ‘noble and praiseworthy’… But, creating an economic system that works for EVERYONE and doesn't require charity, is considered socialist and evil. Mind-boggling. 😎✨

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

It’s been a long week. Every day under this administration somehow feels worse than the last. We know how exhausting this fight can be, but don’t give up. Get some rest tonight. Tomorrow is another big day. Many of our coalition members spent today traveling to event sites around the country.
