A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims

[From our Climate Desk partner @wired.com]
FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims
The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

We're a medium—to—large dog Household, but we live in a heavily fox-traffic community, and many Yorkies and Chihuahuas have been snatched up.

Try to warn people at community meetings not to let their dog out of their sight, but they never listen.
See, NOW I’m curious. @thegreatduggo.bsky.social
This happened at the same off-leash, dog walking location. What’re your thoughts?

And be consistent with ALLLLL the nonsense you’ve been uttering about domesticated pets interacting with wild animals.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

When you look at this crowd AOC is drawing today, here’s the part you should remember.

This is Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Update: the Senate will vote on the so-called "Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" around 2:30 pm EST. today. The bill spreads false claims about abortion and pregnancy loss, especially when they occur later in pregnancy.

This is an excellent, in-depth article on what leaving the Paris Climate agreement means for the US by @borenbears.bsky.social

One conclusion: "Several experts say the US will lose out on a trillion dollar plus renewable energy boom, leaving other countries like China to rule the green economy."

It's really not about leaving the other platforms. It's about bringing people here and giving them more engagement than the other apps.

That's what people want. Engagement. Takes nothing to offer it

If there is a user on another app that you like, DM them and invite them here. Post and tag me

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:

1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

We need a massive public communications campaign to warn the public about crypto.

It should highlight first-person accounts of people from all walks of life who lost their money due to the crypto scam.

To strike crypto is to stab the heart of the tech fascist movement swallowing our nation.
