Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think.

The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

You got that right🤬‼️I might live in the Berkshires but I’m no less appalled & angry.

This trial has even more attention than last. And every time it meets a new audience it stops them like WHOA‼️

The corruption is being further illustrated every day & broadcast to an international audience.
The thing about the Karen Read trial is that most women know what it’s like to have people try and completely gaslight them, so when the entire justice system of the commonwealth of Massachusetts is doing it to an innocent woman, a ton of other women are going to show up and say absolutely TF not.

Shortly after I left Delaney Hall, I spotted this convoy escorting a painted-over van with blacked out windows holding someone in the back. The men on motorcycles had either "police" or "sheriff" written on their jackets but notably did not disclose insignia of sheriff's office or police dept.

R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday.

Putin’s stooge.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.
Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Join AOC and other elected reps here on Bsky tonight.

Do NOT watch Fat McFash's SOTU speech, because our nation is on fire, and we don't need more orange kerosene poured on raging flames.

Be careful not to set yourself on fire watching King Destructus rant. Be here instead for joy & planning.

Black folks, do not spend a dime here. Do not spend money where you will not be hired—or where they will not carry your products.

The U.S. government is about to be PISSED that the RedNote (Xiaohongshu chinese tiktok) app is #1 in social networking right now on GooglePlay.

When Tiktok gets banned, we aren't going to Meta platforms. Collectively, we would all rather learn Mandarin than be force-fed American propaganda.

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out

Chief Justice Roberts has the nerve to whine about detractors suggesting “political bias in the judge’s adverse rulings without a credible basis for such allegations.”

The gaslighting is real.
