Just like School Shootings.

Think about how many women have died who stories aren't being published. Think about how many deaths won't be counted as abortion ban deaths but 'standard' maternal deaths.

Republicans want to normalize this. They want us to believe that their laws aren't responsible.

Hurricane Milton hits Florida - as seen from space.

Abundant lightning can be seen in southern Florida, where numerous tornadoes occurred today. #hurricane #florida #HurricaneMilton

Details: This video contains visible (band 2) and lightning (group energy density) imagery from the GOES-16 weather satellite. It spans the five hour period from 15:00 to 21:11 UTC on 10/09/24 via CIRA

Here is what a 15 foot hurricane storm surge looks like folks.

[Jordan Hall @JordanHallWX]

First look at Manasota Key, Florida after Hurricane Milton brought intense surge to the region.

Republicans have been trying to privatize weather for decades - want to know if a hurricane is coming towards you? Better pay up.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

The burgeoning conspiracy theory that "they" can control the weather feels like peak right-wing crazy. But it's been a long time in the making from a reality-denying Republican party -- and Trump isn't the only one to blame.

Conspiracy theorists who keep saying there’s “no way” the hurricane could have intensified so much without some human cause are so close to getting it.

➡️ @fema has a page on its website that addresses the lies and rumors being pumped out by the GOP and Trump about the government’s response to Hurricane Helene:

Our smoke detector batteries dying at 4am during Daylight Saving Time is insult to injury. #teamstandardtime #itsneitherpluralnorpossessive

[Bridget Collins @brdgtc]

Probably a good day to read up on the Tampa Bay/Tarpon Springs hurricane of 1921. That hurricane was a category 4 and the area was primarily farmland at the time. https://t.co/flG6wuemXq

If you have loved ones in disaster affected areas, try to do some "pre-bunking" in case the Oath Keepers target them https://t.co/7tmvUAGd72

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the horses should also get huge horse medals in the equestrian events #Olympics

Rather than fix the errors in your form (which we could easily do), we are sending it back to you to fix. We’ll point out new errors when you resubmit.

That shit was wild as hell. That man was excited and made a weird noise and they said “Oh this motherfucker can’t be president.”

[Jackie Gonzales @jmirandolam]

During yesterday's @CapitalMPO Planning Committee mtg, a member joked about opening a car door into someone riding a one wheel mobility devices.

Making flagrantly violent jokes about injuring a vulnerable road user is not ok.

Next week is likely to be hot in NY, with heat peaking Tuesday-Friday. Just how hot might it be? We used the @NWS's National Blend of Models tool to compare four-day peak temperature forecasts to historical records for several cities. Several upstate cities may see historic heat.
