World Central Kitchen is on the Island ahead of Melissa, and is a safe place to make a donation to help the people of Jamaica. This organization is a favorite of mine. 🇯🇲 One Love 🇯🇲 🐊🐸🦋 wck.org/news/hurrica...

A portion of the Montego Bay airport. The main tourist airport on the island #Melissa [video pans through a room full of airport-style seating, there are a couple of inches of water on the floor. The ceiling has caved in in spots, releasing debris onto the floor. Water is coming in from above.]

252 mph wind gust was just observed off the surface in Melissa's southeast eyewall! This is the strongest gust EVER observed in a hurricane.

After staff cuts earlier this year, some veteran NOAA hurricane researchers are working on a volunteer basis to help collect data from Melissa and other storms. “With the losses, we have a very young remaining staff and not a lot of experience flying in hurricanes."

For the record, Melissa's main targets of Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, and the Bahamas account for, respectively, 0.016%, 0.0089%, 0.064%, and 0.0038% of the global annual total of CO2 emissions.

Hello! The Narwhal is looking to talk to people in Canada who regularly send money home to Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti or the Bahamas and might increase it in the wake of Melissa. I am at [email protected] 💚

Melissa made landfall in Jamaica as a cat 5 with wind speeds around *185 mph*, I think only the second recorded storm to ever do that. That's as strong as an F4 tornado, only, you know, hurricane-sized.

Now imagine how modest construction may fare in such a devastating Cat 5 hurricane 🥺 #HurricaneMelissa

My God … terrifying. Keep Jamaica in your heart and mind. Much devastation and sadly loss of lives to be expected from powerful #HurricaneMelissa

A hurricane hunter flight that had just entered the eye of Hurricane Melissa was abruptly aborted on Monday after the crew encountered severe turbulence and was forced to abandon its mission to collect data on how strong the storm had become. nyti.ms/48RivAY

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible. Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

Saw a video on FB of local residents of my small community leaving with their RV to spend the winter in Texas. With plenty wishing them a good trip… while I made the effort ($, ⌚️) to buy 🇨🇦 furniture / supplies for my retirement house. Selfish traitors to me - can rot in an ICE jail !

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency. An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

Hurricane Melissa has now rapidly intensified into a category 4 hurricane and could reach category 5. The messaging from the NHC is not mincing words, especially with regard to Jamaica, which needs to seek shelter now. 1 minute GOES-19 imagery: meteologix.com/jm/satellite... TT

BREAKING: Hurricane Melissa strengthened into a major Category 4 hurricane, and could intensify to a Category 5 as it nears Jamaica, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

If you’re mad about confederate statues coming down, but not mad about the East Wing of the White House being demolished, it was never about history for you…

Conservative Party in disorder as MPs doubt Pierre Poilievre’s leadership “These comments are proof that Pierre Poilievre will never be prime minister.”

Weak, pathetic, lying POS tries to take it back. Too late! Poilievre backpedals on RCMP comments after days of pushback. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Just a reminder the Alberta UCP are the test bed for Trumpism in Canada. They are the Beta version of Canada under a CPC government.

Updating my LEGO White House

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Tamara Lich, who Poilievre continually posts in support of, was on a panel last night alongside Diagolon/Second Sons leader Jeremy Mackenzie. They were both introduced as panelists off the top. Lich, at the end, then says the panel was made up of her “heroes” 😬

www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art... This should be a warning to every Canadian. Poilievre can NEVER be PM. He would do EXACTLY what Trump is with his vindictive political indictments, Do not think he would stop there. Poilievre is telegraphing what he would be, & it is ugly & authoritarian #NeverPP

“As reported by PressProgress, Canada Proud has close ties to Pierre Poilievre and a record of presenting false and misleading partisan content. A report by the CBC revealed that Poilievre had hired the team behind Canada Proud to boost his messages online.”

“73% of young Canadians have a negative opinion of Pierre Poilievre.” A large majority of young Canadians view Pierre Poilievre unfavourably.

While the rest of us focus on fighting back against Donald Trump, Pierre Poilievre remains obsessed with Justin Trudeau. i think he was triggered by the Katy Perry/Justin on the yacht photo. Poilievre has no policies or plan, he is using the extremist playbook. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFYU...

Listen to what Donald Trump says (if you can stomach it) and that will give you an idea of what Pierre Poilievre will say shortly afterward. Poilievre has no new ideas.

We've gotta keep an eye on our wanna be king.

The government remains shut down, leaving federal workers struggling to get by. Meanwhile, Trump pushes forward with East Wing construction and deploys the National Guard to cities that oppose him. This is what dictators do: deprive the people, abuse power, and reward themselves.

World Series here we come #BlueJays #ALCSChampions #Canada 🍁🧢⚾️🏟️🇨🇦 From Theo Moudakis

Canada wakes up happy after the Toronto Blue Jays 7th game, come-from-behind 4-3 ALCS series win over the Seattle Mariners. In doing so, they punch their World Series ticket for the first time in 32 years. Somehow, it feels like it’s now more than just a game. #sports #life

Solidarity is the only way

Good night my Amazing Bluesky Friends! Take pride in knowing that you are ANTIFA and will rise to the challenge as your grandparents and great-grandparents did before you. Those not here would be proud of you. I Appreciate You All! 🇨🇦❤️💙❤️🇨🇦

Anyone come to mind?
