It’s sad it takes folx to become targets BEFORE they acknowledge the danger that the most vulnerable among us have screaming about
It took finding out that someone they cared about was NOT a priority to say “no more”
DEMOCRACY CAN’T EXIST WHERE THERE IS NO COMPASSION FOR OTHERS

#AP out here showing everyone how not to write a headline.
In the first, FEMA is battling politically motivated lies, not rumors.
In the second, many of those people were told they'd die if they *disobeyed orders to leave* while others weren't necessarily ordered to excavate but told it was a good idea.
"Fearful" is the panic going on in MDC and Broward, places that aren't likely to get hit hard.
Not being stupid is what's going on in Tampa with evacuees.

Very likely more stuff sent to Putin secretly too.
Something we need to keep in mind as we write for a wider, and possibly uneducated audience.

@barney Just one more nail in the GOP coffin. Race is an artificial construct, and to suggest making laws restricting marriage between adult humans is racism at its worse.
My daughter has left St. Pete and is back in NY. Seemed like a good time to visit the home office. My nephew, OTOH, has evacuated Tampa for…St. Augustine.

Analysis released Monday by the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says tfg could add from $7.5 trillion to $15.2 trillion onto the national debt increasing the debt by 27 to 54%. The debt under Harris would also increase but at a rate of one fifth of the higher estimate of tfg’s increase.

Israel, bigotry
Reminder: If you believe in the elimination of Israel, especially by violent means, you have zero moral high ground. And if you extend that murderous energy to all Israelis, or even all Jewish people, you have no morals at all, and should have no place in discussions of peaceful resolutions.

Once again, every single case of intentional voting fraud is done by Republicans. 🤔 A large media outlet should release an expose listing them all.

Voter registration deadlines are a form of voter suppression, everyone should have same-day voter registration, pass it on.

See, this is how capitalism works.
If you're choosing between "investor confidence" and everyone dying in a climate apocalypse, the correct answer is obvious.

BP has abandoned a target to cut oil and gas output by 2030 as CEO Murray Auchincloss scales back the firm's energy transition strategy to regain investor confidence, sources with knowledge of the matter said.
When unveiled in 2020, BP's strategy was the sector's most ambitious with a pledge to cut output by 40% while rapidly growing renewables by 2030. BP scaled back the target in February last year to a 25% reduction, which would leave it producing two million barrels per day at the end of the decade, as investors focused on near-term returns rather than the energy transition.
The company is now targeting several new investments in the Middle East and the Gulf of Mexico to boost its oil and gas output, the sources said.
