Flew outta and away from one storm, into another. Went out checked roof tarp thing, and secured stuff. Stay safe, Alta Dena. 😳😞 .Flash flood watches issued for most of Southern California as storm approaches | KTLA share.google/v9kngPOR9be6...

A wonderful message. Good morning Blue Sky

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

Warming waters cause corals to “bleach” when these organisms expel symbiotic algae that provide nutrients, oxygen & vibrant colors. The latest global bleaching event - researchers estimate >84% of the planet's coral ecosystems have been affected since Jan 2023 - has made it clear the crisis is now.

War torn Portland. I am

Immigrant advocates have been thrown to the ground, pepper-sprayed, and tailed in their cars by officers in an apparent attempt to intimidate them, @caitlindickerson.bsky.social reports. One tells her: “It's never been this bad.”

3 Missing, Dozens Rescued After Remnants Of A Typhoon Strike Western Alaska

What's wrong with the US

The aftermath of the Russian attack on #Kharkiv last night: "First, there was an explosion somewhere nearby, and then… I don't remember anything. The glass cut my legs. It was terrible, just terrible," says one of the victims of the Russian strike on the hospital grounds in Kharkiv.

Im amazed that democrats aren't talking about how Trump is slathering the white house in gold and building a ballroom while simultaneously stripping the American people of healthcare.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility. This is beyond cruel. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

This really fucking sucks!!! I’m not even paid to be here by an outlet, so doing this is just fucking me personally!

I’m sure the people who were *pissed* that Hunter Biden sold paintings are equally furious about Barron Trump reportedly being tapped for the TikTok board. Right? …right?

Andrey Kartapolov,head of the Russian State Duma's defense committee,advised Trump to call Putin more often to know what to do "If Trump wanted to help,he would listen to what our president says.Unfortunately,lately Trump listens to European 'leaders'&Zelenskyy,not Mr. [Putin].

Why are the farmers destabilized, Scott?

And backround checks/iq tests for all apppointees

UPDATE from @jodiscohen.bsky.social + @jsmithrichards.bsky.social: Following public outcry, the Department of Ed. has reversed its decision to cut funding for students who have both hearing and vision loss, opting instead to reroute grants to an org that will provide funding to these students.

A retiree from Jackson, who is too young for Medicare, told me he found out that without the healthcare.gov tax credits, his payments are going up $1500 a month! From $440 to $1,900. Share your story: www.slotkin.senate.gov/letters/

Today on #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the rich histories, cultures, and resilience of Indigenous communities. Let’s celebrate and support the incredible contributions of Indigenous communities today and every day.

#ProudBlue Trump is setting the stage to “wage war on Democrats as they foot the bill for the Republican violence.” Why should Democratic assistance continue to help red states if Trump is using the money from blue states to fund inciting violence in the streets of blue cities? Thoughts?

After sleeping through some of the biggest protests in US history, Republicans have decided to let you know they're scared that this Saturday's No Kings events could be too massive for them to ignore.

I’m pretty sure this guy is a relative. The level of outrage is my own & only one explanation makes any sense. Leaving us to deal with the fact that a large portion of our population has become seriously… DANGEROUSLY mentally ill. It’s not just simple “bigotry” anymore. youtube.com/shorts/jyF-B...

House Republicans have been on vacation for 24 days. The government is shut down and health care costs are exploding. Cancel the vacation, and let’s get back to Washington. We have work to do.

Israeli officials are openly defying Trump’s so-called Gaza “peace plan.” The defense minister says bombing will continue after hostages are returned and that Gaza’s tunnels will be destroyed “under U.S. supervision”. Call it what it is, it’s not peace, but a US backed siege.

The staff of the CDC - all public servants with impeccable credentials - often do unheralded work. It’s that very work which makes us clinicians much smarter - they let us know of new threats, give us key disease trends, and help shape our diagnostic acumen. A functioning CDC is good medicine.

A great, tough @nytimes.com editorial. "The Republican Party has long denied the severe risks that climate change presents and stood in the way of sensible policies" to address it. Under Trump, the GOP has become "the party that stands in the way of lower energy prices for American households."

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...” apnews.com/article/pope...

OCTOBER 18TH across 🇺🇸 & Tennessee Republicans are calling them “Hate America” rallies, but as with most things they say it’s exactly the opposite. 🇺🇸 #NoKings 👑 Find one: www.nokings.org

This Is Fascism

Trump is going to continue to do everything in his power to try to incite violence somewhere. If Portland and Chicago don’t work, he’ll probably go to New York. He’s looking for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Hey folks, for your own safety consider picking up a shotgun. Even if you're not a fan, please consider it. Keep knowledge of your ownership to the smallest circle you can. Learn to use it proficiently, take gun safety courses, and practice holding and moving it unloaded.

#ResistanseUnited #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited #DV1 ☕ An Image of the Week Dear Officers: You are not witnessing “insurrection”. You are confronting law-abiding fellow citizens. To please the self-claimed king. Are you proud of the mission?

Not to mention it isn't even the freaking National Anthem. JFC, these MAGAts really are whiney bitches!

@hcrichardson.bsky.social You said on today’s podcast with JF, “You go create your havoc over there. I’m going to make a better world.” Thank you. That reminded me to focus on the incredibly beautiful souls who are doing exactly that. And there are millions them/you.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

This guy is a goddamn hero.

The Seattle Mariners are not only a special team but a very special organization. I’ve had the privilege of getting to know their leadership over the last 5 years and their commitment to excellence on and off the field. Thrilled for our city and their well deserved success! @mariners.com

Only a government run by billionaires would berate its employees for not wanting to work without pay.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

The sky is beautiful this early morning when out at 5:45 pst The moon is bright with many visible bright stars 🌟 So crisp and clear. Off to the east a very bright large solo star/planet. Sirius? Shooting star was a bonus!! Good start 🌟 for today. 🔭🌃🤩✨

🧵 Am I surprised they gave Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize? No. Does she deserve it? Also, no. There’s a reason she was barred from running for office in Venezuela: multiple violent coup attempts and calling of foreign governments, like Israel, to invade Venezuela.
