Tapping into the culture wars isn’t going to protect Floridians or anyone else from the harsh realities of climate change. The people of Florida deserve better. We all deserve better.

BREAKING: The storm surge for Hurricane Milton is expected to be 15 feet.

To give you an idea of how deadly this is, here’s what 9 feet looks like:pic.twitter.com/0SxfrA9XK3 https://t.co/56ZLtpOIbi

As Cat 4 Hurricane Milton prepares to wreck havoc on Florida, a reminder that Gov DeSantis rejected $11B in Federal aid meant to address climate & infrastructure, & banned the phrase “climate change” from Florida laws.

Republicans are proving “Don’t Look Up” was a documentary.

I’m heartsick for the families who lost their homes and their loved ones to Hurricane Helene. It’s a sad reality that this hurricane rapidly intensified into a powerful Category 4 storm because of climate change. We must do more to confront the climate crisis as we rebuild.

I’m in Raleigh- 2hrs inland. Asheville is 4hrs west of me, up in the blue ridge mountains. It was unthinkable that a hurricane could wipe out towns this far inland & high up. https://t.co/Or2F2oTrKg pic.twitter.com/7FhBaFl6xD

“Much of this case is rooted in the idea that if we punish people, they’ll choose not to be homeless, and nothing could be further from the truth.” The Supreme Court could decide whether or not being homeless is a crime.

Remember that every measure done to make sure homeless people never have a second of comfort or relief just ends up making society worse for everyone. They’re on the way to making it impossible to sit ANYWHERE except in your own home. https://t.co/322MfrTsPA

As dozens of Palestinian women and children return home from Israeli prisons as part of a Gaza truce deal between Israel and Hamas, many say they endured incredibly harsh conditions while detained.

America’s ruling parties cage migrant children, enrich billionaires while families go homeless and hungry, and let American kids be massacred in classrooms.

Anyone surprised they don’t give a crap about children in #Gaza?
