The Trump administration’s press to quickly strip down FEMA is being tested against a devastating disaster for the first time. And it is violating a basic precept of emergency management, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports:
The Trump Administration Is Violating the First Rule of Disasters
Good disaster management is premised on preparation.

Coming out of a bit of a news break whilst in L.A. and this is quite the hard re-entry: the president of Ukraine being lectured like a child by the U.S. president and vice president who want to steal his natural resources and hand chunks of his country to Putin. I have never been so embarrassed.
Omg. This is a thread. Every one should be appalled. 1/5

“The demise of independent journalism in the United States will be less spectacular than the notorious examples of other times and places—as much voluntary as coerced, less like a murder than a death of despair,” writes George Packer.

Why does China get lighter tariffs than Mexico or Canada?
Why is USAID - the agency countering China's global influence - being shut down illegally?
Follow the money. Musk and his SV bros will do anything - even pledging allegiance to socialism - to make $$ in China.
