By far the best (non political) commentary on the catastrophic Los Angeles fires has been this one by @dateline_keith for @DatelineNBC

Keith Morrison is one of the last remaining pros in TV news…

Updated info on the wrongfully euthanized squirrel Peanut, & raccoon Fred…

Some ridiculous judge DID sign a warrant. For a squirrel? On a called -in “complaint” by this photog Monica Keasler to the DEC, for unknown reasons. The woman proceeded to brag on her now deleted FB account - she’s also ditched IG & Linked In because people found out who she is.

Reviewing facts, it’s a pathetic case of government waste, overreach, & misuse of resources.

These people rescued & raised Peanut as an orphaned kit. They had him for 7 years. The man created an animal rescue sanctuary as a result, and had allll the app. process done, & it was SIGNED. The only thing waiting on approval was an enclosure. This animal was not capable of wild survival. They tried that initially, but Peanut came back with injuries. Some rescued wildlife is not releasable - this is exactly why rehab sanctuaries will keep select animals after rehab capability is maxed.

A few potential reasons:
Missing limbs
Birds with lack of flight
Loss of vision or hearing
Predators unable to hunt sufficiently
Prey unable to evade predators
Failure to thrive due to health deficits
Captivity-raised lack of survival instincts
Conditions requiring ongoing medication

This RAID involved making the victims sit outside their home for 5 hours while these maniacs tore up everything. They were denied the right to call legal counsel. Feds went thru closets, leaving a complete mess. They broke soap bottles in the bathroom. They took apart the man’s TOILET upon escorting him before he could use it because apparently there could be some important squirrel propaganda hidden in there (I’m assuming in the tank). 😒 Please make it make sense.

They further questioned his wife’s immigration status (Germany), in spite of her having all necessary docs & ID.

Because these psychos descended unannounced & hunted down these ordinarily docile rescues in their normally peaceful home, somebody supposedly got bitten. They used that as justification for killing them to examine brain tissue for signs of rabies.

(Let’s be clear… they were observed putting on gloves. Was anyone ACTUALLY bitten?)

What’s really going on here?

We all want to know.

If you are thinking, “It’s just a squirrel “, look at your pets. Do it right now. Why do you think you are exempt from over-reach like this, & what’s different from your dog or cat?

WHAT???

I am a feline rescuer. I’ve also rescued other animals to either be rehab-released, or homed as appropriate. I have been doing this most of my life, in fact. Birds, including a baby hummingbird once. Rabbits. Lizards. Snakes. Dogs. What’s the difference, I ask you. This is NOT about permits. He had the paperwork. Signed. It was in final process.

Why do Feds have the time & resources for one MF squirrel that’s not bothering anybody? If they need something to do, I have a few suggestions. Some legit tasks first… and a couple of impolite instructions after that.

I usually try to avoid posting things that end up in the political arena, but here we are. This is as far as I’m concerned a bipartisan concern anyway, so today I am speaking up. NONE of us should be ok with this type of abusive home invasion. Do you want to be treated like a criminal, like a drug dealer, on your own property.. when you have done nothing harmful to anyone? I’m absolutely certain that I don’t.

AS a rescuer MYSELF, this hits hard. I’ve had tragic abuses committed by other organizations that I had to then correct & be the responsible party - costing me hundreds in the aftermath, plus deciding under duress of the situation to adopt as a result. Over the lifetime of a pet, that’s thousands. I continue to do this, in spite of not having a donation for it in 4 years. So to me, it’s an important issue. We talk all the time about being responsible citizens, but when it comes to actually demonstrating it, who steps up? In my neighborhood, it’s just me. Out of pocket.

So YEAH… #JusticeForPeanut

@Lufthansa_DE used to think that you were a great airline to fly with, but you have been giving my friend the runaround for compensation after LOSING HER LUGGAGE this summer. It's been months with lots of excuses and no acceptable resolution. Think before flying this airline!

In some of New York City’s most flood-prone neighborhoods, increasing permeable infrastructure from the current level of 2% of land to just 5% of land could prevent flooding.

We can make our neighborhoods more resilient by replacing car space with green space.

[Mother Jones @MotherJones]

Floods are only expected to worsen due to climate change, and the New York City's wastewater and drainage infrastructure isn’t equipped for the pressure.

FEMA said the city's sewers weren’t ready for this—months ago. https://t.co/LpkUgmERq0

[George Tsakraklides @99blackbaloons]

Today it is New York City’s turn to flood. When will it be your turn? Or will you roast to death in a heatwave? Or simply starve as prices for essentials skyrocket? It is time to throw #necrocapitalism in the dumpster. Welcome to our #ClimateCatastrophe

“We now have in New York something much more like a tropical-rainfall pattern,” Rohit Aggarwala, New York City’s environmental- protection commissioner, told The Atlantic Festival.

“It happens over and over again.” Including today, @nancywalecki writes. https://t.co/y3Mj7h6geD

[alexxstation @alexxstation]

New York City is flooding because transit infrastructure in Manhattan and other boroughs of the city was literally built under sea level.

This was an inevitable outcome in the face of climate change. Blaming this on immigrants and social housing is truly the stupidest take ever.

I know many of you like to visit New York City during the holiday season and in case you make it to lower Manhattan this year I made this map I hope you will find helpful

@FedExHelp @fedex I am getting tired of "business is closed "as the no delivery reason. At 136 pm school is very much open and customer is very much available. #upsisbetterthanfedex

[Sam @saranii]

@FedEx Your 1800 number is CRAP. I cannot get a hold of a person to change the sate of my shipment. It was supposed ot be delivered yesterday and they didnt because they said the business was closed. I WORK AT A SCHOOL and it was OPEN . This is poor poor customer service.

BREAKING: Documents show Ron DeSantis is weaponizing the FL Dept of Law Enforcement to surveil and intimidate me and activists who criticize him. They opened a secret criminal intelligence case against me without cause because of my activism. Retweet and follow me to support.

@GlennYoungkin "The right's continued attempts to weaponize our judicial system erode people’s faith in the American justice system and it needs to stop."

Fixed it for you

[Sam @saranii]

@AmericanAir So your phone representative was lovely. But ultimately could not assist me . We all know you guys raise your rates based on demand. Which is a whole other problem. But to be screwed in the middle of a transaction is nonsense
