". . . that response hasn’t been bringing in aid, it has been bringing in police. . . . All this manpower wasn’t sent in to distribute supplies, or to clear the roads, or even direct traffic. It was sent in to make sure hungry people, thirsty people, desperate people couldn’t get the supplies they needed. Those police and the private security which we saw guarding grocery stores, could have helped with distributing supplies instead. But that’s not what they’re doing.”

Vice President Kamala Harris blasted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday for “playing political games,” after the Florida governor reportedly did not take her phone calls to discuss hurricane relief.
“Playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations — these are the height of emergency situations — is just utterly irresponsible and it is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship,” Harris told reporters before departing to New York.

. . . and just in case there was any lingering doubt about why the Israeli government is invading #Gaza and #Lebanon.

#Appalachia is the #thirdworld of the #unitedstates. We exploit and export its culture, vilify and marginalize its people, and keep it poor by extracting its #naturalresources at the expense of its residents and its #environment
I'd like to think that #HurricaneHelene would prompt us as a nation to take a long hard look at ourselves, but I know it won't.

This is the kind of #information manipulation and #disinformation that keeps me up at night.
#California is not a #progressive state. It does however remain a vision of the future.

#hurricanehelene is about to do some horrible things to #Florida and points further inland. Please stay informed and stay safe!
Hey #CoSoNauts: how are you all today? Check in and let me know what's going on in your world.
Secondly: if any of you are running a #homelab or #homenetwork, let me know. I'd like to pick your brain about it.
You know what's #weird ? Administrations and campaigns that make a big deal out of working #forthepeople but keep actively supporting the #ethniccleansing of #Gaza and the #WestBank along with a war in #lebanon
