He was upset that the funeral ceremony wasn't about him. So were a lot of other people.

Sounds about right...

Georgia Republican faces town hall backlash over DOGE's 'chainsaw approach' to federal cuts Rep. Rich McCormick, who represents a safe GOP district, came under harsh criticism that focused on the Trump administration’s moves to slash federal jobs and budgets.

I've been advocating for a few weeks: have town halls & rallies in red districts and glad to learn @sanders.senate.gov is going out on the trail & @repjasmine.bsky.social is working social media/news.

Happening in Georgia! The news is getting out. trump can't hide.

Just 57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016 Analysis reveals many big producers increased output of fossil fuels and related emissions in seven years after Paris climate deal

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.

The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

She looks ready to impart some wisdom... 😁😻

Saw it around the internet somewhere in the past week... It seems apropos...

This is SHell 🔥

Yes, We Need To Call Out The Climate Criminals Right Now The California wildfires are not a mere act of God. These apocalyptic scenes will increase as the climate crisis worsens unless we end the culture of denial.

Media stories about the wildfires often don’t mention the role of climate change at all, and if they do, they do not mention that climate change is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. This is a human-caused problem, not a mere act of God. www.currentaffairs.org/news/yes-we-...

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part.

Turns out those scenes were almost bang on.

The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

So much serious and terrible in the world right now, we need some laughs...

Evacuation shelters and animal shelters in greater Los Angeles.

Evacuation shelters and animal shelters in greater Los Angeles for those in need...

Evacuation areas in Los Angeles

FYI for those in Los Angeles. Order means go now. Warning means gets ready to go.

Also there is now another fire burning in the Hollywood Hills.

So you're manufacturing a situation (paywalled sites with important info during disaster!) that's is in theory only and trying to get people angry then?

I'm anticap but I don't need to fake situations when there's real danger in order to convince people that anticap is righteous. Why do you?

I've lived in SoCal most of my life and have been close to and on evac notice a few times over the past few decades. So I feel pretty confident in my experiences.

I think action should be taken against the 3 paywalled places that are endangering lives, don't you think?

So what are the 3 sites?

What sites did you go to? I think some action needs to be taken against those entities...

What sites did you go to?

All public avenues to access are free and there are many. In addition, most cities have alert systems as well.

And by the time you get even out in the warning (the get ready) your power is off anyway.

Out here, during wildfires, if you're anywhere near an evac zone, you know.

None of the public official ones are and there are several. I've been watching this all night into this morning. What sites are you going to?

Wow. Just looked it up and yeah, it's under the Hateful Conduct section... 😡

UnitedHealth, worth over $500 billion, denies a third of claims—twice the industry average. If you wonder why there's no sympathy for Brian Thompson, look no further than their predatory business model. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R2W...

Ok. I'll have to keep trying... 😂
