I’ll never forget: in grad school, I took a disaster communication intensive, because I wanted to get into NGO/Nonprofit work, and the lecturer was asked, how do you know who takes point/gets the funding in a disaster and he answered with

“Whoever gets there first.”

Misting stations are set up in 14 parks across #Portland to help folks stay cool during the heat wave this week. Share this info with your friends, stay safe out there! 🔥🔥🔥

RCMP created media exclusion zones during their raid and arrests of the Savage Patch camp protecting old growth forest this morn, which they’re not supposed to be doing. Pardon my language during these exchanges. I did inform them of my rights as a journalist when they threatened to arrest me @ricochet_en @IndigiNewsMedia @caj

Stop Cop City FOIA:

The NYPD Intelligence Bureau lurked on social media to gather intelligence on vigils held after Tortuguita was murdered by Georgia police. Screenshots of vigils were circulated to hundreds of police departments around the country.

A thread:

the U.S government is pulling the same imperialist moves they made on Puerto Rico during Hurricane María .

In 2017, they intentionally underreported the death toll to portray relief efforts as more successful than they were

They reported 45 deaths.
The exact death toll was: 4,645

Learning as an adult that the Red Cross is the absolute LAST organization you want involved when people are in crisis was quite a blow. This is the story with them every single time. If you want to donate, find a LOCAL organization that is on the ground.

The message from Maui community is loud and clear: cancel your vacation and travel plans. Lāhainā needs time to heal and regenerate, and Native Hawaiians and local communities must be centered in the rebuild. Not realators, developers, and tourists. Lāhainā isn’t for sale.

[Post-duopolist @dirtbagleft1]

There were roughly 3,500 households in Lahaina which means a high estimate assuming they all burned would be $2.5 million total for Lahaina.

The cost of ONE Abrams tank we sent to Ukraine is $13 million. So Biden basically sent 1/5 of one tank to Lahaina. Disgraceful.

[A Left-Wing Account ™️ @PushDemsLeft]

Still can't believe Biden MORE THAN DOUBLED homelessness and just straight up lies about it.

[Defend the Atlanta Forest/Stop Cop City @defendATLforest]

#StopCopCity advocates in Atlanta face down police intimidation outside the Federal Courthouse. Will the City of Atlanta government dare throw out thousands of voter signatures qualifying a referendum on Cop City?

[Vehia Wheeler @_vehia_]

The build back of Lahaina, Maui is an opportunity for #LandBack to Native Hawaiians

And should not at all be an option for opportunists to do their continual landgrabbing

Since the GOP seems to have a very poor grasp on regional biology, I thought I'd leave this screengrab here of a bear caught last week in Piedras Negras. Biologists said the bear was in distress looking for food and water:

Gov. Abbott is destroying the Rio Grande for a fearmongering photo-op.

Miles of deadly razor-wire have been deployed to ensnare & impale border crossers. Bobcats, bear, mule deer & other wildlife will also be cut off from their main source of water

Police in Delaware are caught on a dash cam conspiring to arrest a man for phony charges.

Imagine what these fascists used to do to innocent people before we had video footage.
