The National Hurricane Center on Hurricane Melissa as of 5 p.m. Eastern this evening. #Jamaica #Haiti

From the National Hurricane Center's discussion of Hurricane Melissa as of 5 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, October 26, 2025:

Key Messages:

1. Jamaica: Seek shelter now. Damaging winds and heavy rainfall
tonight and Monday will cause catastrophic and life-threatening
flash flooding and numerous landslides before potentially
devastating winds arrive Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Extensive infrastructural damage, long-duration power and
communication outages, and isolation of communities are expected.
Life-threatening storm surge and damaging waves are expected along
portions of the southern coast Monday night and Tuesday morning.

2. Haiti and the Dominican Republic: Catastrophic and
life-threatening flash flooding and landslides are expected across
southwestern Haiti and southern portions of the Dominican Republic
through midweek. In Haiti, extensive infrastructural damage and
isolation of communities is likely. Although winds have temporarily
decreased on the Tiburon peninsula, they are likely to increase
again across much of western Haiti on Tuesday.

🧵 Samhain is a wonderful time in Celtic mythology & it’s when reality becomes surreal. In some places in Ireland, kids wear their coats back to front to confuse spirits. It’s that playing with reality that fascinates me as an artist, as you can see in this thread, if you scroll down [1]

People often ask historians whether Donald Trump’s nonsensical, unhinged, and cruel way of speaking to Americans has any precedent. But if U.S. history is a map, “we are off the grid, over a cliff, lost at sea without a compass,” Jill Lepore writes.

Trump and the Presidency That Wouldn’t Shut Up

His posts and rants are omnipresent, ugly, and unhinged. Don’t look to history to make it make sense.

At a time of multiple international crises, the Pentagon’s official positions will be relayed by Timcast, The Epoch Times, LindellTV and the Gateway Pundit, which means that many people simply won’t believe Pentagon statements at all. Which might be the point

President Trump’s military campaign against drug cartels in Latin America could soon collide with a humanitarian crisis in the Caribbean Sea, as Hurricane Melissa bears down on Jamaica with an unusually large fleet of U.S. military ships deployed nearby.

The "see, Trump was never anti-war" people are trying to score points based on the current direction of the wind. Trump isn't anti-war, pro-war, an isolationist, a committed zionist, a Russian puppet, etc., Trump is simply pro-Trump

The image is AI-generated. It's not real.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

I vaccini non “stancano” il sistema immunitario. Lo allenano verso patogeni specifici. Il sistema immunitario è sempre attivo contro moltissimi agenti che possono danneggiare l’organismo, e dire che un vaccino lo “affatica” è sbagliato e antiscientifico.
