To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

So, under the republicans, they are planning on stealing the space shuttle. Now, it's not exactly possible to move it, but they don't care. The attached chart says why they didn't have a chance of getting it in the 1st place, as an example, cali's top place had 3 strikes against it. Houston had 9.

But, I don't know about in Australia, but in the USA, flooding isn't covered under your homeowners insurance. You have to buy separate "Flood" insurance, which you can get from the federal government. (At least for now)

"What this report says is that flooding will be so common in large parts of Australia, you will not be able to insure.

"You can only insure against unlikely events."

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.
