#TurnAroundDontDrown

Flood waters are extremely unhygienic & can hide obstacles & sinkholes. Don't walk in them.
Evacuate BEFORE the storm. If you don't, then stay put until it's gone.
Never go out during the short window of time when the eye of the storm passes. You don't know when it will end.

3- Europe has not learned its lesson... yet!
- All they are doing now is shifting dependence from the "mined" fossil fuels to the "mined" minerals needed for the "claimed" carbon neutrality.
and most importantly: shifting Europe's dependence from Russian gas to US gas!

(1/21) On November 6, 1965, the U.S. agreed with Cuba to airlift Cubans to the United States.
In the next eight years, around 300,000 Cubans took advantage of this program and left for the country that had played a central role in its domestic politics for a long time. 🧵

(3/21) Although the report correctly warned about the increase of carbon dioxide, it noted that it would take a few more years before climate models could reasonably project future global surface temperature changes.

So let's go back in time and talk about some things that didn't happen in Hindi film industry. THREAD
1. #GullyBoy was first planned as a two hero film spear headed by the two powerhouse of actors - #RanbirKapoor (MC Sher) and @RanveerOfficial with @aliaa08. Things didn't work out and the role of MC Sher eventually went to @SiddhantChturvD, who emerged a star post release.
2. #Zero, earlier titled #KatrinaMeriJaan, was set in Mumbai and Merut. The protagonist was to feature in a double role of dwarf and superstar, while #Katrina played herself in the film. It was a love triangle of #Katrina's rebound love to dwarf after break up with the superstar
Wake Up #America You went batshit we had 2000 People Die During #Katrina , Now 15 Years Later we have over 2000 People Dying A Day . Watch much news shows today and datt line is not the Headline, Please Don’t Normalize 2000 Dead Every Day from #COVIDー19 . More talk about

Hurricane Season in the horizon, we are screwed . The only thing will save our ass if we use @DeptofDefense , to take over #COVIDー19 Testing /PPE Logistics , I Said this yesterday in Congressional hearing , That @DeptofDefense and @USNationalGuard position to respond to
Blessed #Easter #Passover , @realDonaldTrump , Sir be aware of who you listen to , your friends on deck of their Yacht or flying In their #G5 Jet . To win a War require great Sacrifice, I saw after #Katrina #Maria the Rich Got Richer and the Poor Got Poorer .The Poor and Elderly
Seem to be dying in higher numbers. In a real Disaster you loose the first half , it’s up to You to Lead to Win the Second Half . Our Country is Resilient, we will survive . We need you to stay focused on Keeping People Alive as Priority Number 1 . You must get Testing Fixed
I believe we will have to Test all our people several times in the coming year as you Shape The New Normal . Don’t Rush to Failure Sir . Get testing as a normal part of our lives until the Vaccination is made . You must focus on the working poor they
Please @NYGovCuomo @realDonaldTrump @EsperDoD , Rethink the #ComfortShip . Keep part of capability to do #trauma , and take the remaining crew to work on shore hospital. used the ship in #Katrina. The 1000 Sailors will not be able to separate themselves from the #Covid_19
From where they treat patients and where they sleep . @NYGovCuomo this is a case of giving you what you need not what you want .This could turn into a shit show ,because of the close quarters, use the crew on shore please. Crew can sleep in hotels , @USNorthernCmd @fema @FoxNews
Please I know the @USNavy want to execute your orders, but please understand the risk of have a hundred #Sailors with #COVID , please put the crew in shore hospitals. You may need the #ComfortShip In Miami or #NewOrleans @TeamCavuto @AliVelshi @DavidBegnaud see risk assessment
The effort to convince Americans that #COVID19 is a #ChineseWuhanVirus is being pushed by conservatives attempting to deflect blame for the government's weak response, trying to frame the virus and keep it from being Trump's #Katrina moment. Please follow this thread to see how👇
The effort is led by the National Center for Public Policy Research (#NCCPR) and the Media Research Center (MRC). NCPPR started it's own Voter Identification Task Force after the #ALEC caved in to public pressures to dismantle it's Public Safety and Elections Task Force.
The National Center for Public Policy Research was also home to Jack Abramoff's defauding of #NativeAmerican tribes. #NCPPR directed money received from tribes and distributed it to other "charities," at Abramoff's direction. sourcewatch.org/index.php/Nati…

I'm a Jersey girl. There is no doubt about that. I'm half Portuguese but grew up in South Jersey but that's another thread. My mother is a Rhody. I spent my summers in Ocean Citu, NJ and in Narragansett, RI. My grandmother's house sat on Narrow River. 2/
I had a relationship with water- salt or fresh. But salt water was always like a dear friend; healing my body & spirit, embracing me in the warmest of hugs, daring my sense of adventure. I was always *home* of I was on the sand. My uncles taught us to fish. My grandmother 3/
It wasn’t an Act of God. It was an Act of Chevron. An Act of Exxon. An Act of Big Oil. gregpalast.com/new-orleans-wi… #NewOrleans #Louisiana #HurricaneKatrina #Barry #BigOil #Pollution #Environment #ClimateChange
Take a look at these numbers dug out of #Louisiana state records:
Conoco 3.3 million acres
Exxon Mobil 2.1 million acres
Chevron 2.7 million acres
Shell 1.3 million acres
These are the total acres of wetlands removed by just four oil companies over two decades.

#NewOrleans used be to a long, swampy way from the Gulf of Mexico. #Hurricanes & storm surges had to cross a protective mangrove forest nearly a 100 miles thick. Then Standard Oil, Exxon’s prior alias, began channeling pipelines & tanker routes thu the soft delta prairie grass.
In 2005 I explained exactly how #NewOrleans drowned and would drown again, maybe in the next few days... gregpalast.com/new-orleans-wi… #Louisiana #HurricaneKatrina #Barry #BigOil
I hope you don’t think #Trump and his army corps of engineers gives a damn about a black city sinking. #Katrina turned #Louisiana from blue to red, a form of voter purging that includes murder in its method. gregpalast.com/new-orleans-wi… #Barry
But DON’T blame the Lady. #Katrina killed no one. In fact, she missed the city of #NewOrleans completely, going wide to the east. It wasn’t Mother Nature that drowned, suffocated, de-hydrated and starved nearly 2,000 people in 2005. This is the real story. gregpalast.com/how-mother-nat…
(1) The only time Democrats care about the US citizens of Puerto Rico is when they can make political hay out of them.
At all other times they ignore the territory & it's extreme poverty, economic dependency, & rampant political corruption.

Friendly reminder, in this time of evangelical Christianity dominating popular conceptions around what it means to follow Jesus —
The actual “end of days” that the Bible talks about is not about violence and mayhem, but peace with justice.
I have some receipts, fwiw.

Revelation, that Biblical book over which fundamentalist Christians love to (piously) orgasm, lays it out:
“See, the home of God is among mortals…death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more” (Rev. 21:3-4).
“See, the home of God is among mortals…death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more” (Rev. 21:3-4).
The prophet Isaiah sketches out a vision of a “peaceable kingdom” at the end of days:
“The wolf shall live with the lamb…” (Isa. 11:6)
“The wolf shall live with the lamb…” (Isa. 11:6)
