Two things can be true: nuance is important in geopolitical conversations, but it can also be instrumentalized to feed the slop content mill. Am I doing it right

Threads in particular is full of people acting like this is career ending for Talarico, completely ignoring this part of the allegation which totally discredits it (the complete lack of other evidence notwithstanding)
They called it 9 months ago www.reddit.com/r/texas/comm...
Texas really said we’re going to send you alerts over the same channel we use for flood evacuations and tornado warnings every time a policeman is sad and so everyone stopped listening to them
The Texas Tribune has a good list of ways you can help flood rescue efforts in Central Texas or get help if you need it: www.texastribune.org/2025/07/05/t...
NEW: in the wake of devastating floods in tx, some officials say NWS forecasts weren't sufficient enough to warn them, while others are warning that DOGE cuts may have made predictions less accurate.
meteorologists told me: NWS did a solid job with the forecasts around this storm
NWS did their job, but it’s seeming like Kerr County officials didn’t and are trying to shift blame.
There’s absolutely no winning with people whose critical thinking skills have collapsed this profoundly. Even beyond being immoral and evil, it’s impressive that they don’t realize that non-conservatives who “choose to live in a red state” are some of the people who can prevent this in the future
Replies to this yesterday are a perfect example of how broken this country has become. Was absolute whiplash going from texts from friends about the unfolding tragedy to seeing… that bsky.app/profile/cnn....
the Uvalde example to me is more a test run of how to brutally break a society to the point where they're too tired to fight back than an example of people voting themselves into oppression (though there's certainly an element of that). if you disempower people for generations that's what happens
I mean sure, but people are already disenfranchised and used to being treated horribly by the government. Not an excuse but there hasn't been a meaningful challenge to republican hegemony in a generation and no meaningful efforts by TX dems to do so in rural areas with the exception of beto
correct, I think people were demoralized after cops beat up parents trying to enter the building during the shooting, that incident, and pete arredondo not facing any consequences and saying he would allow an independent investigation only if people "stopped grieving"
If you're being snarky about children drowning in a flash flood what the fuck is wrong with you
I was accused of being a Russian bot for having sympathy for dead children yesterday 🤦 never felt such a sense of doom about our country
There were 4.8 million Kamala voters in Texas…which is the same as Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire combined!! And yet we apparently deserve to lose children in floods because of political disagreements with our neighbors. Truly incredible thinking here
This is sick, fascist thinking. As many people voted for Kamala in Texas as did in every New England state combined. The floods happened in an area where deep blue Austin and San Antonio parents send kids for summer camp. But apparently we deserve it because we happen to have conservative neighbors!
It’s exactly what you’re saying. You’re cheering on the deaths of children because you don’t like Texas. You’re sick in the head
I’m not MAGA! Texas has millions of blue voters! How is this hard to understand??
I’m in Texas and woke up to texts about dozens of kids missing in Hill Country. Opened Bluesky, saw the replies to this and wanted to throw up. We are irreparably doomed as a society if “liberals” are cheering on the deaths of kids because they’re in a red state bsky.app/profile/cnn....
If you think like this you’re a fascist. Hope this helps
Insane to see “liberals” bragging about how they have no sympathy for children dead in a flood because they had the misfortune of being born in a red state. Truly evil sick person behavior
Damn, it looks just like the photos of the disappeared that were put up by relatives in the South American dictatorships
BREAKING: New York Times admits it is operating as state media for a fascist government in shock thread
The only appropriate response is resignation.
It’s “BernieOrBust 2016” to be sad when a dam bursts in a rural community in my state and dozens of children are missing. Very interesting
You’re cheering on children dying in a flood
Apparently having sympathy for children who died in a flood in Texas makes you a Russian bot. This is why our country is completely broken btw
What is wrong with you?
less than two weeks ago, 14 people in San Antonio were killed in flash flooding.
last night, just an hour away, as many as 20 people went missing as flash flooding struck again. at a summer camp for young kids.
these aren’t natural disasters—it is the fossil fuel industry’s fault.
Can you people please shut the fuck up instead of mocking victims of what’s shaping up to be a generational tragedy for this region bsky.app/profile/hous...
