the biggest threat to free speech in this country is that everyone knows speaking out loudly against the right wing messaging machine, and getting its attention, will result in endless death threats and harassment and they don’t care if you’re one of their own

This person needs to shut the fuck up forever. Yes, people unite in the face of disaster, but that's a very short-term thing and it doesn't even last all that long necessarily. Smallpox caused an actual fucking apocalypse with mountains of corpses here and the nations still fought each other.

Many of these people have an understanding of politics that was created by conservative talk radio and passed through to them indirectly by their parents/grandparents/etc. They're incapable of seeing how much their "radical beliefs" are derived from what they were exposed to.

Traffic lights are out regionwide.  Trees down. Billboard toppled. Roofs ripped apart.

Not much response from the small crowd that gathered here as Trump speaks.  He’s speaking softer and hard to decipher at times for those of us nearby

I asked Trump if these storms make him reconsider his position on climate change.  He said… no

I have seen a tremendous amount of this the same sort of posts coming from “leftist” accounts doing some combination of a) lying about disaster aid, b) linking it to Israel and/or Ukraine, c) using dishonest GOP framing that acts like US gov budgets operate the same way as individual budgets.

The lifelong Republican employs fewer Haitians than others in Springfield, but his life has been upended since Donald J. Trump spread falsehoods about immigrants in his hometown.
F.B.I. agents showed up at McGregor Metal out of the blue on Sept. 12.
They warned him that they had determined that some of the threats on social media were credible and that he must take precautions.

Security experts also sat the family down. Vary your driving routes to work, school and other places, they advised. Don gloves and use tongs when handling and opening mail. Keep the blinds drawn at your house.
The family was also advised to scrub their digital footprints, install cameras, motion sensors and alarms, and start parking rear-first in the garage, keeping the car in drive until the door is all the way down.
