(43,307 posts)Luckily, we'll win and keep dragging ignorant autocrat lovers, kicking and screaming, into the better world that's possible, the one they're so afraid of. The only way these hard heads will learn is the hard way, but we can't afford to let them win in order to learn that.

(43,307 posts)We just have to use all the reality tools we can to wake folks up to the future they don't know they're really voting for.

(9,605 posts)The state opened up emergency polling places to accommodate voters in the area. On the one hand, there are almost 2 extra weeks to respond to this event. On the other hand, Helene is a larger storm, likely to impact a wider area and it looks to have a direct bead on Tallahassee.

The Accuweather CEO was trying to get trump to give him a contract to run the National Weather Service. He's in the same class as the MyPillow and Overstock guys.

(3,213 posts)I use Weather Underground
erronis
(23,880 posts)Of course Weather Underground gets its data just like all the rest, from the NWS.
Another favorite web site of mine was Weather Spark --- I thought it had gone out of business but it looks like it is still alive.
And Windy and VentuSky - both great!
And OpenWeatherMap.org and the source: weather.gov.

His name must be attached to this every time. Every. Time.
ancianita
(43,307 posts)Sure, as part of the campaign we should attach his name to it, but it's definitely meant to stand back and stand by indefinitely for whoever is next -- say, shady Vance. Once they're in, they're not leaving, and SCOTUS has ruled that as OK.

(6,128 posts)(Sarcasm aside, this would also be the ideal time to remind everyone that Trump MISPOKE, and said Hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama. Then, because he's a petulant five year old who refuses to ever admit he made a mistake, he FIRED half a dozen people at the Hurricane Center who tried to correct the error! (Don't contradict the Donald, or you'll be FIRED, you liberal hacks!) And he even went so far as to re-draw the path of the hurricane on the map, to make the map consistent with his mistake.)

(2,533 posts)Southern Dems really need to wake up.
ancianita
(43,307 posts)Southern Dems are awake. It's the rest who actively resist waking up to the hard adult work of seeing how the world actually works in reality. Youth of the South are gradually changing their elders' minds, if not hearts, about another world that's possible.
People can change. This is the year we'll see just how much. Mother Jones comes to mind... she said, "Pray for the dead, fight like hell for the living."
