Washington Legislature has *finally* created a funding mechanism to help school districts develop retrofit/build seismically resilient buildings. WA is way behind CA and OR in this regard. Just awaiting Gov signature. clbn.us/3pybP

Lindsey Graham conveniently forgets that Republicans already used Supreme Court nominations as a political game in 2016. But we already know Graham doesn't concern himself with inconveniences like "facts". thehill.com/homenews/senat…

The baseless attacks on Judge Jackson bring to mind this old legal adage: If you have the law on your side, pound the law. if you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have neither the law nor the facts, pound the table. We’re seeing some ugly table pounding today.

Listening to the hearing of Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, we have to hear a lot of opinions from people who should never be judges/lawers tell a highly qualified judge why she shouldn't be a judge.

Senator Cotton forgets that Judges are not psychologists or policymakers...

Day 3 of the hearing for US Supreme Court Nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. I am starting to wonder if there should be punishment for members of congress who purposely twist words, selectively speak out of context, and outright lie during nomination hearings.

I'm making the switch from Spotify to Tidal. As somebody who is constantly listening to music, it is time to use a platform that better supports the artists. Tidal pays ~3x more per stream than the other. Support your favorite artists so they can keep creating!

"Put me in the camp of making sure the court and other institutions look like America," Graham said at the time. (businessinsider.com/lindsey-graham…) Lindsey Graham has no idea what America looks like. The only thing he knows is that his corporate sponsors keep his pockets lined.

Sooo…it appears the Supreme Court believes their opinions have a fundamental right to privacy…

So... #SCOTUS is worried about their private document being shared while discussing taking away rights to health privacy. Do we file this under irony or hypocrisy? The top court's deliberations & opinions should all be made publicly. We deserve transparency.

So... Elon Musk is going to want government organizations to pay in order to share emergency information with you? Large orgs may be willing to do so, but most gov orgs are tiny and struggle to pay for staff, let alone subscriptions for numerous tools to communicate.

Heck yeah! Way to go, Paolo!!

I'll take "Old White Men Rigging Elections" for $100, Alex! Seriously, though. The overlap of people who believe "The Election was stolen from Trump" and "I'm going to do what I can to cheat the system" is eye-watering. Irony at its best.

Compare @FirstStreetFdn's 2052 fire risk map that Katie Wheatley posted to the 2022 one in their 5th National Risk Assessment (firststreet.org/research-lab/p…) Emergency Managers but lacking the resources & time to advocate for mitigation and risk reduction, despite the need. #EMGTwitter

What happens when you take away bodily autonomy? Woman is being deemed too immature to decide for herself that she wants an abortion but the unspoken side of that ruling is that she is determined to be MATURE ENOUGH TO RAISE A CHILD.

Hey all! CRESA Talk is filling my former position as an Emergency Management Coordinator focusing on Mitigation & Recovery planning. This job is based in Vancouver, WA (just outside of Portland, OR). bit.ly/3TANjee #EMGTwitter
