Alaska Coast Guard & DHS division report this devastation as historic. It’d be nice if Nat’l Guard & more DHS personnel would be available to do this important rescue work instead of harassing brown people in cities.
This is only the start of hazardous weather season.

The Trump Admin has now murdered at least 27 people in 5 lethal strikes on boats.
Key words in the article that clearly make these violations of international law would be ‘accused’ & ‘alleged’.

The trees are in full autumn bloom.
A pond with a golden maple in the foreground and yellow and green leaves on trees on the far shore. A panoramic scene on a hill looking towards the horizon. In the foreground there is tall grass and shrubs. In the mid ground are autumn trees of different colours from green to orange to yellow. The sky is gray with clouds but there is blue sky on the right near the horizon. Looking straight up at the canopy. Orange red and yellow leaves on trees with a cloudy sky above.

The difference between what ICE is doing to Americans and what the IDF does to Palestinians is getting harder and harder to tell apart.

This is not just a coincidence.

Jesse Watters tried to make a protester he dubbed "Antifa Kermit" look menacing. I added the words of Secretary of Homeland Security describing Antifa along with some footage of Antifa protesters from an ABC affiliate Local 10 News. The music is royalty free.🎶🪩💃🕺

Kind of thing a national gov't might be interested in
Maybe even send some kind of Emergency Management Agency to assist citizens

But when the gov't is led by an authoritarian king, with no parliament keeping them in check, weelllll... Peasants suffer
It's what peasants are for

Just some thoughts
