Scott Robinson, Deputy Director of Government Affairs, INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIRE FIGHTERS. As a firefighter and public sector employee, I can't help but shake my head at The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. On page 82 of the Mandate for Leadership, they suggest that congress make public-sector unions illegal. Imagine a world where essential services, like firefighting, are driven solely by political agendas and not by the people who actually do the work. What could possibly go wrong? Clearly, the path to better governance is through more bureaucracy and less representation for those who risk their lives every day. The Idea that local governements will protect their fire fighters and their communities is a joke. As someone on the front lines, I can tell you this: weakening public-sector unions will only undermine our ability to protect and serve our communities effectively. hashtag #Firefighter hashtag #PublicSector hashtag #Unions hashtag #STOPProject2025 hashtag #RUINEDHeritage hashtag #FaultyFoundation

Urgent call for help, specifically helicopters to rescue and save the lives of people who have been cut off due to the floods caused by cyclone Helene. "A matter of life and death for the people of North Carolina" The vast majority of helicopters saving lives are civilian according to Jonathan Howard, a member of the State Guard, special mission unit and Aerial Recovery, a non-profit. This is reminiscent of the Australian experience, but not only is the government failing to provide adequate support but preventing civilians from doing the work, refusing supplies. Now this could all be confusion on the ground, a battle of whose turf is being stepped on but we do have a situation here. Why would the sheriff's department prevent mainstream news (CNN) from filming and broadcasting the worst hit areas? What don't they want you to see? 🤔 People are running out of food, clean water, medications, formula, potentially injured, without shelter, etc. The situation is dire. They cannot be driven out because roads and bridges are washed away. All these "natural" disasters have similar patterns. 🤷♀ My latest article "White Horse of The Apocalypse"👇https://lnkd.in/gkpMTxgr To see more of my posts, join my network and click the 🔔 on my profile.

Real time, on-the-ground reporting from a very astute observer on the aftermath of hurricane-caused inland flooding in western North Carolina. *Local leadership and local knowledge are fundamental to efficient rescues and helping the community heal after a traumatic weather event* The increase in atmospheric CO2 has increased the available energy in our atmosphere and oceans leading to less predictable weather and a broader range of usual weather events (i.e. wetter, dryer, colder, hotter). This massive and relatively unpredictable weather is becoming more common—here’s a preliminary report using attribution science to support that statement in the setting of Helene. https://lnkd.in/eMR49wKH
