To those fighting for democracy in LA: 🔟 PROTEST LESSONS from Hong Kong ’19 1️⃣ BE LIKE WATER. Flow, never freeze. One Telegram ping, dozens flood a location, form a blockade with debris, and disperse instantly. Re-emerge blocks away. Keep them chasing shadows. Spread them thin using multiple fronts.

Less than 2 weeks until the official start of the hurricane season, FEMA has rescinded their strategic plan. But don't worry, it's been replaced with... (checks notes) Nothing. An internal FEMA assessment acknowledges that the agency “is not ready” to handle catastrophic storms this summer.

FEMA Has Canceled Its 4-Year Strategic Plan Ahead of Hurricane Season
Multiple FEMA employees tell WIRED that they did not know of another time when a strategic plan was rescinded without another in place.

You also realize that there is absolutely no way to ensure that Qatar's flying palace plane is clean on OPSEC, right? Accepting a pre-built "Air Force One" from a foreign power is a literal intelligence nightmare that should be freaking out every intelligence agency we have

tweet from Chicago Trib reporter Rick Pearson: Advisory from IL Dem Gov JB Pritzker’s office on planned Wednesday visit of Homeland Security Secy Kristi Noem to Springfield: “We would urge all pet owners in the region to make sure all of your beloved animals are under watchful protection while the Secretary is in the region.”

Can't really think of any Kristi Noem erotica nothing slays horniness faster than Mar-A-Lago face, which is like you took your hands, smush the facial features until their wee tines like Charlie Kirk—also supremely unfuckable—and then add enough lip filler to stuff a narwhal. Anyway, sorry about ruining your sex life.

"Pertussis, or whooping cough, is now spreading at a rate the U.S. hasn’t seen since vaccines were introduced in 1948." It's No Coincidence. Public health funding is being slashed. Vaccine misinformation is spreading. Fewer people are getting vaccinated. This is the result.

We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.
A post by Marco Rubio attacking Germany for tackling the alt right extremism of the AfD.
The German foreign office responds.

Rubio’s posts says:

Germany just gave its spy agency new powers to surveil the opposition. That's not democracy—it's tyranny in disguise.
What is truly extremist is not the popular AfD-which took second in the recent election—but rather the establishment's deadly open border immigration policies that the AfD opposes.
Germany should reverse course.

The German foreign office responds with:

This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say.
We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.
