Absolutely enraging.

Heads up: The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether federal law prohibits states from counting ballots that arrive after Election Day.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Bro I am so angry.

I'd argue that for many of those countries, it was never there. They did it because it kept critical views at bay. But now those critical/sceptical views are gaining ground, no need to pretend any further. It will be to our determent but the powerful elite don't care. #ClimateCrisis #COP30

BREAKING: Federal Judge McConnell orders the Trump administration to provide full SNAP payments to states for November, finding that the administration did not comply with his order. Judge raises Trump's Truth social post as evidence that he intended to defy the order.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

the hubris of virginia republicans thinking they had a shot in a state brimming with current and former fed workers whose lives have been made miserable by the leader of the GOP

A few years ago, I was assigned to develop a tsunami plan for the City and County of #SanFrancisco. One of the first things I learned as I worked on that plan is that San Francisco has a moderate risk of #tsunamis from distant sources. www.linkedin.com/posts/edie-s... #EM #greysky #tsunami

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free: (Published 2019)

Damn, even the cat voting?

Know your rights when voting today.

Loving the San Francisco “I Voted” sticker.

Disaster take incoming: You ever consider that tourism is the disaster? Or to be more specific - tourism is a facet of the colonial capitalism that makes regions vulnerable.

You don't actually have to spend all of your coverage on how a disaster affects US tourists.

Happy International Cat Day!

I say this again, and with respect, meteorologists are great. They play a critical role. But relying on meteorologists to discuss disasters on TV coverage is not ideal. Especially when you have them speculating on recovery- which is not something they should be expected to know about.

One characteristic of Hurricane #Melissa that'll always stick w/ me is its lack of "classic" eyewall replacement cycles. I honestly can't help but think the environmental +SRH was a factor for that, as this modeling study from earlier this yr showed: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

I'm reading a journal article about the intersection of emergency management, disasters, the problems inherent in ICS, and complex adaptive systems thinking and it is making my whole PPP capstone project make sense. Those who understand ANY of that will appreciate my glee at this turn of events.

@wxmanms1.bsky.social: “ #Melissa is our planet’s latest warning that we must keep improving how we forecast these events and how we prepare people to recover from them.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o... #NOAA #NHC #Hurricane #USwx

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

A 10am EDT update from the National Hurricane Center now puts Melissa's sustained winds at 185 mph. Full text: www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh...?

Current #Melissa eye diameter of 10nm & 45km wide hurricane force winds projected along current track wouldn't bring much wind impact to Kingston (SE Jamaica). So any eyewall replacement and widening of the storm could bring Kingston into play. But the surge is another beast altogether...

The monster eye at the center of a still strengthening Hurricane Melissa.

Just putting it out there: USAID housed the US's international Urban Search And Rescue (USAR) teams. If the US has any type of response to Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica (or elsewhere outside of the US) it will be ad hoc. Probably. Who knows at this point.

ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

!!!!! This is simultaneously insulting and delusional. The space, time of year, time that it takes vegetables to grow, labor time, equipment, cost, knowledge required to do this?!?!

I am too mad about this to say anything coherently right now. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I just saw a video that said cutting SNAP would lower food prices because it would cut demand. I'm starting to think that Econ 101 either needs to be drastically overhauled or that you cannot take it unless you commit to taking four econ courses one heavily focused on externalities and elasticity.

The Savannah Pride Center has lost about $30,000 in sponsorship funding, according to Michael Bell, executive director of the organization. Please support the Savannah Pride Center 🏳️‍🌈 so they can continue their vital work in our community.

The article talks about opening up central California to oil and gas development.. Looking at Bureau of Ocean Energy Management maps, this could include a large swath of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, including the Bodega and Año Nuevo basins, and Partington basin off Big Sur.

The president has still not signed the governors disaster declaration request for Alaska. This is directly keeping funding out of the hands of disaster survivors who need it.

Disaster Fascism™️- filling open jobs at DHS with Proud Boys.

Staff at #FEMA warned they’ll face termination if they don’t “tattle” on those signing open letter criticizing #KristiNoem & #Trump’s disaster response “efforts.”https://www.thedailybeast.com/fema-workers-ordered-to-out-ice-barbie-critics-or-be-fired/ #EM #greysky

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

Very much enjoying the inflatable frog segment of the civil war.

something i learned this week! mailchi.mp/boltsmag/new...

Just know that “conversion therapy” is three incoherent pseudoscientific ramblings standing on each other’s shoulders under a trench coat. It’s not therapeutic (it doesn’t help, does net harm), it doesn’t convert (practically no “success” documented), and it should absolutely be banned.

no they're LITERALLY exaggerating this issue. there is absolutely no data backing up their claims. ffs just say that!!

Disaster Fascism y'all.

Critical to emphasize here that this money came from a pool of money Congress designated for migrant shelter services. This money did NOT come from the disaster relief fund (as reported here). There has been immense confusion/disinformation about this distinction during this administration &the last

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Just dug this up as a clear example of fitting a complex nuanced narrative into a single social media post for my masterclass in public science engagement using online tools
