There's a reason that the federal government created FEMA and this is a good example of why.
Shared resources, (taxes) is much more efficient way to help people.
Very scary what happened yesterday and I'm here to tell you everyone is at risk of needing federal resources.

Yesterday my hometown was hit with massive tornadoes. We weren't expecting them in places that have never been hit before and have no idea who will help us. FEMA is all but dead and our state is run by Republicans that hate the city. This is the canary in the coal mine. My latest.
A tornado tells a bigger story
My town was struck by historic tornadoes yesterday and a storm is coming for you too.

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Judge Xinis to DOJ lawyer:
“Cancel vacation. Cancel other appointments. I’m usually pretty good about this in my courtroom, but not this time.”
She also agreed to allow the plaintiffs to depose up to 6 administration officials.
Good first step, but need accountability.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point.
If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas.
There are over 600 cases in the US right now.
Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

One day after Republicans passed a bill to slash NOAA funding, DOGE plans to cut 1,000 jobs from the agency which produces weather data and climate science. Trump thinks he can redirect hurricanes with his Sharpie but you don’t need a weatherman to know this administration blows.
