#mudslide

CBS news' 24/7 streaming channel had some reporters on the ground @ the protests against the #Unconstitutional #ICE camps / raids and attacks on the SEIU workers.

Reporter said that normally the local law enforcement relies on what cops call "Mutual Aid" to help each other out before calling in any larger armies whenever a "situation" arises.

And this is an instance where there was no need for "Mutual Aid". Gavon Newsom is suing over the waste, and Drumpf will lose.

So that now you have some more context for that phrase I never liked "Mutual Aid", do the math:

First of all: The United States does not have any money, jurisdiction or value. Oligarchs [consumption] going untaxed means that debt is EXPLODED.

Funds paying fed cops to jet-set and stay in [fancy motels] are rising the thermometers, melting glaciers, and parching the already scorched deserts. The #tornado, #flood, #landslide, #mudslide, #derechos and #hurricane season this year is again expected to be the worst on record. For each of the last 5 years, the NOAA is reporting "warmest year on record", where each year is getting hotter, making more extreme #weather.

All of this is because military does not keep anyone safe. ICE does not make America "secure", it makes it more vulnerable to climate disasters. These are FACTS.

Hurricane season is just about started; mark my words that there will be no money to help all those rednecks in the deep south after this hurricane season, because of the waste.

American empire is OVER. Take your money out of the markets, especially take it out of military and "security" based oligarch-run companies, they are going to crash the hardest, the fastest.

Stupid president does stupid things. He is too stupid to realize what he does already is making the worst possible future for his grandkids.

Another example of good, relevant reporting by AP apnews.com/article/southern-ca

Sounds like the heavy rains (up to 100mm) over the hilly burnt areas in #LAfires did cause the expected mud slides but mud only went up 20cm in the roads - while remaining buildings were protected by sand bags and temporary concrete walls.

With the top soil now washed away, will new plants be able to take root at all? 🤔 I guess so. Because this mediterranean biome, called Chaparal biome, consists of shallow root grasses, shrubs and low trees. Not like in the Rockies in the article above.
And could the precious mud in the roads now be hauled back uphill ?🤔 I guess not. Because it also contains the toxins from all the burnt buildings, I reckon.

How to illustrate natural disasters on an #earlymodern #broadside?

After the enormous #landslide of 1618 in #Piuro (then a city within the Three Leagues, Raetia) that wiped out the city and killed thousands, a #Zurich based printer came up with this idea: using a liftable flap. The flap offers a before and after scenario; a reading engagement with the catastrophe. The printed flap is the #mudslide.
