Always a good reminder that american libs like gg and cbo will always be concerned, first and foremost, with the civil rights of coup plotters. And always by American standards.

Nobody in this country is moving their rear end to protest against the genocide in Palestine. That's just unnecessary.

Sure, it's all ultra-conservative bolsonaristas, evangelicals and reactionary Centrão people behind this, but, um, the LEFT is responsible! Somehow!

Glenn will go to any length to avoid confronting the fact that the 'free speech' billionaires and chuds he courts are openly, proudly tyrannical/fascistic.

kinda important reminder that ofc there’s climate change, but the state govt having self-sabotaged mechanisms of defense and prevention makes it a lot worse

like, ffs, Chinese flood control works from centuries before Christ, built with shovels and picks, stones and bamboo are standing to this day and are effective. This is a matter of planning and construction as well

The cute polite bolsonarista governor didint invest anything on prevention and ignored all warnings that this was coming (and there was many).

And now he blames Lula

not that the federal govt gets a free pass as well imo, the budget ceiling atrocity also harms directly into the climate action/prevention

For something on that level, it'd just be better not to get millions of people to live in a flood plain river delta in the first place, like the indigenous people avoided doing

This flood was so cataclysmic the best course of action would probably be forcefully evacuating entire city blocks before everything went to poo poo and the infrastructure was still there instead of rescuing people from the rooftops via boat

The emergency response has been textbook Wrong the entire time, slow, entirely reactive and toothless. If you just "ask" people to leave their homes a ton will simply stay and fuckin drown, as has happened.

Anyway, it's raining all over the state again, we're getting double-tapped

And if the forecasts are correct, triple-tapped on the weekend

lmfao :shepface:

you are telling this to the mfer who lives in flood valley state just right up north lmao

the thing is, for what it is to be done in our time, once you have concentrated urbanization and people living in there, is either mega-infrastructure or resettlement time.
