Video just sent to me by resident of Freeport, Grand Bahama. Taken a few minutes ago.

Looks worse than it is, he says. Most areas not flooded at all. #ISAIAS
More. In Freeport.
That post-storm drive is a cultural tradition in this part of the world

I would caution against anyone extrapolating any kind of national political analysis based on what happens in Florida. The political culture and "debates" that happen in Florida are unlike any other state.

That partly explains the red wave in Florida, and nowhere else.
The "Florida is a glimpse of the future" rhetoric is wishful thinking. Name me another state where candidates can refuse to debate + win landslide elections up and down the ballot literally based on fear of the word "socialist" alone. It doesn't exist.
Florida is a Southern state by choice, not by destiny. There's a self-selecting group of people who move here from the North, and they trend conservative. These people overpower native Floridians (especially Black ones) who tend to vote more Dem.

Demographics are destiny.

Wall Street investors bought a total of 40 percent of single family home purchases in the Atlanta area the third quarter of 2021, we just heard in this Senate hearing. And they made up 70 percent of evictions.

Truly an astonishing number. And it's only accelerating + spreading.
Investor-owned rental properties are a relatively small part of the market. We've heard about 2 percent.

But it is accelerating very very quickly -- coming into the housing market, jacking up rents and not keeping same maintenance standards as mom and pop landlords.
GOP line on this is that the housing crisis is inflationary in nature, and Wall Street is being used as a scapegoat.

Dem line is to sidestep inflation + focus on growing role of Wall Street. Several senators say almost all complaints they get are from investor-owned properties.

Was just assaulted for doing my job at an anti-mask mandate protest @MDCPS headquarters by this Proud Boy in the yellow, for taking this photo. (I took many photos of many people on the scene.)

Some @MiamiPD officers came and pushed the Proud Boys off of me. No arrests. Image
The police escorted me across the street, and for a minute all eyes were on me on both sides of the line.

But it's not about me, it's about the story. A little bit of an awkward position.

So I kept doing interviews + shooting photos on both sides. Journalism!
I'm totally fine by the way. I was recording audio the whole time so that's gonna be a trip to go back and listen to it.

The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction just issued likely its final "lessons learned" report about US activities in Afghanistan.

If we don't want to make the same mistakes again, this doc should be read and reread. (thread)
sigar.mil/pdf/lessonslea…
I'm just going to screenshot the biggest lessons learned after 20 years of activities. Again, this is the US Government saying what went wrong. This is a brutally honest self-critique

But first, how the report starts.. Image
Lesson 1. There was no coherent strategy from start to finish Image

More than a year in, virtually no systemic changes made, and we're still having this debate.

The fact that the debate is even happening kinda proves the point that it's not a very good slogan, at least for short and medium term.
And yes there is a big difference between the slogan and the call behind the slogan. A lot of people take criticism of the slogan as criticism of the call behind it.. when it's literally the slogan that elicits the debate, not the call itself.
Every time I talk to reformers working within the system on things that are squarely in line with what "defunding the police" advocates are actually talking about

NEW from me: The State of Florida went on a hunt for Chinese communists to hold accountable for the pandemic.

It hasn't found a single one.

A small sampling of the response the state actually got.
For some reason many people felt it necessary to mention that they are "red blooded Americans," and then there's this guy with a side of racism
