Thread by @matt_vanswol on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Give it enough time and every conspiracy theory from the "Right" becomes true... ...DHS just confirmed in a 22-page report that FEMA staff recorded DISASTER VICTIMS’ political beliefs and skipped over their homes because of it That’s not a rumor, it’s in the official reportπ§΅
It started after Hurricane Milton in Florida. A FEMA supervisor literally told staff to “avoid homes advertising Trump.” At least 20 families were skipped for aid before others were sent back later. FEMA staff weren’t just logging storm damage to people's homes like they were supposed to... they logged what people believed. “Trump signs.” “Pro-gun.” “Anti-Biden.” These were things they put IN WRITING FOR FEMA CASES!!! How long have they gotten away with this??? This wasn’t just Florida, it happened across the country, according to the report. The same pattern showed up in multiple states between 2021-2024. That includes reviews after Hurricane Helene, right here in Western North Carolina.
They said it was about “avoiding hostile homes.” But DHS found FEMA never even defined what “hostile” meant. So some staff just decided certain Trump signs made a home unsafe. And get this... FEMA never reported ANY of it as a privacy breach. That’s required BY LAW!!!
Honestly, I’m not even shocked anymore. I hoped this wasn’t true… but deep down, I think a lot of us all suspected it was, even when we were all called conspiracy theorists at the time."
The cope is that Trump's DHS is corrupt and cannot be trusted and made this all up

A kid kept kicking my sandcastle, so I built the next one with a rock. : r/pettyrevenge - "So I was about 11 or 12 at the time and on vacation. We were staying at a lake in Alberta, and it was honestly a good time. I built an amazing sandcastle, it had walls, towers, and even a drawbridge made out of driftwood. Plus I built it on a platform made of rocks, halfway into the lake, like a little island. I mean come on, I even made decorative trees out of seaweed. Then the teenagers struck. This one kid went and kicked the sandcastle to bits, and even before I got a picture. My next sandcastle, I buried the heaviest, most jagged rock in the base. The teenager went up to it and kicked it again. Let's just say, the castle lasted longer than his foot. My castles didn't get knocked down ever again. Now, as a teenager myself, I still vividly remember this event and it makes me laugh. Don't ruin people's work, kids."

Fanning the flames of revolution | The Spectator Australia - " Spare a thought for KP Sharma Oli. The prime minister of Nepal learned what happens when you deprive people of the most important thing in the world: the internet. While he did not suffer the same public humiliation as Louis XVI, he was emasculated in a different and less decapitating way. Oli resigned this week after nationwide protests sparked by a social media ban erupted into chaos and bloodshed. Thousands of people carrying placards identifying themselves as Gen Z took to the streets of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, and attempted to scale the parliament’s walls. Hundreds of people were injured in clashes with police, who used water cannons and live rounds to restore order and control. A total of seventy-two people have reportedly been killed in what is the Himalayan nation’s worst and deadliest outbreak of protests in nearly 20 years. In response to the police action protesters ransacked government buildings in Kathmandu, set fire to the country’s parliamentary building, which is home to the Nepali Congress party, and attacked state institutions in the city. Several prominent politicians’ residences were also targeted. Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar, the wife of former Nepalese premier Jhalanath Khanal, was killed after rioters set fire to their home. Following days of unrest, Nepal’s military chief General Ashok Raj Sigdel sent troops to the capital, vowing to ‘take control of the situation’. The protests were sparked by the government’s decision to implement a nationwide blanket ban on 26 social media platforms, a vital source of networking and communication for roughly 40 per cent of Nepal under the age of 18. Nepal has one of the highest per capita rates of social media use in South Asia. It also provides a living – the social media economy is worth $26.5 million. These platforms are also used by dissidents and political opponents, including Balendra Shah, who the Nepalese youth describe as ‘Gen Z’s great hope’. ‘Balen’, as he is known online, is a 35-year-old rapper-turned-politician who regularly uses his social media reach to highlight the widespread allegations of corruption among politicians. Naturally, the social media ban was seen as the state clamping down on free expression, crushing dissent and silencing the opposition, igniting a broader populist movement against the ruling elite. ‘We want to see an end to corruption in Nepal,’ one 19-year-old college student told BBC Nepali. Another reinforced the frustration: ‘Gen Z will not stop now. This protest is about more than just social media – it’s about silencing our voices, and we won’t let that happen.’ It shares similarities with recent uprisings in South Asia. In Sri Lanka, the Populist movement was defined by allegations of nepotism and corruption against President Gotabaya Rajapaska. Rajapaska’s green ideological capture resulted in a restriction on the import of artificial fertiliser, causing rice crop yields to decrease 30 per cent and forcing the government to spend $450 million importing enough rice to meet demand after its price fell 50 per cent. Thousands stormed the capital, Colombo, and burned down the ceremonial palace. Unfortunately, there appears to be a global consensus on keeping kids off the internet. Denmark, Greece, Spain, Italy, and, of course, France are all testing an age-verification app, paving the way for a mandatory EU-wide implementation. Even the United States is considering a federal Kids Online Safety Act, which has been introduced with bipartisan support. Other countries have already done this. Britain’s Online Safety Act is the latest in a long line of state-approved censorship. Other notable countries include Ireland and, of course, the eSafety Commissioner’s imminent ban here in Australia, legislated with Coalition support. In Nepal, the ban has now been lifted; all it took were charred buildings and scores of bodies lining the streets. Although I doubt Australia’s youth would man the barricades, it’s a powerful and tragic story of what happens when you try to silence people as the elite live in opulence and enrich themselves at the expense of the common man."

Calgary man tunnelled into upstairs neighbours unit, police say - "Officers responded to reports of a break-and-enter in the southwest community of Coach Hill last Friday. Investigators say the victim reported ongoing issues with a downstairs neighbour that had intensified in recent weeks. The woman said she had been away from home, and when she returned, she discovered ‘significant disturbances’ in her unit — including a large hole in the floor — even though her door was locked. Police believe the person living below the woman, the same individual she reported having issues with, had tunnelled a large hole from his suite into hers through an open space behind a fireplace... Ben Edward Maize, 46, has since been charged with one count of break-and-enter with intent to commit criminal harassment, mischief to property over $5,000, and two counts of disobeying a court order."

Former Houston Rockets player Zhou Qi advises Yang Hansen, the 16th pick of the 2025 NBA draft - Black NBA players looks down on Asian players : r/NBATalk - ""On the show, Yang Yi asked Zhou Qi if he had any advice for Yang Hansen as he prepares to play in the NBA. Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said: "If I were to give any advice, I think the most important thing is to maintain a balanced mindset. The U.S. and Australia are quite different. In the U.S., there are a lot of Black players. Their playing style, physicality, and ways of expressing themselves are all very different from ours. Once you get to the NBA, to be honest, they don't really respect us deep down. They may not say it outright, but they'll express it in other ways." Hearing this, Yang Yi immediately said, “So he’s definitely going to get bullied!” Zhou Qi nodded and continued, "Exactly. That’s why mindset is especially important at that point. How you perceive your own role or position will shape your mentality over there." Zhou Qi then added, "Later on, I spent some time in Australia, and it was only after coming back to China that I truly felt the difference. There aren’t many Black players in Australia, and I also played there for a while.""

New York man suffered worst death imaginable after being thrown down manhole and cooked ‘like a lobster’ - "A man suffered from what's been called the 'worst death imaginable' after falling down a manhole in New York. Dr Judy Melinek, who is a former medical examiner, has spoken about some of the worst cases she's ever seen. In her book, Working Stiff: Two Years, 262 Bodies, and the Making of a Medical Examiner, co-authored with her husband, T.J. Mitchell, Melinek has spoken about some of the most shocking moments of her career. Explaining that people ask her, 'What’s the worst way to die?', Melinek usually tells them: “You don’t want to know.” However, if they push for an answer, she tells them about Sean Doyle. In a chilling admission, Dr Melinek explained that she suffered from some of the 'worst nightmares [she] ever had' after one specific post-mortem of Doyle. The devastating incident occurred when Doyle had been out drinking in the city with a friend and his friend's partner in 2002. An argument started on their way home, in which Doyle's friend accused him of flirting with his girlfriend. The pair started fighting, and this resulted in the friend throwing Doyle down a manhole that had an 18-foot drop. Although Doyle survived the fall with minimal injuries, he was plunged into boiling water, which was the result of a broken mains pipe. Although emergency services attended, the manhole was filled with steam measuring 300°F. After Doyle's body was recovered, Dr Melinek examined him to discover no broken bones or head trauma, but severe burns to his body. Doyle's body temperature measured 125 degrees (51C). However, Dr Melinek adds the body was likely even hotter, due to the thermometer only reading up to 125 degrees. The outer layer of his skin had peeled away, while his internal organs were cooked. When Dr Melinek saw Doyle, she said she thought he’d 'been steamed like a lobster'... the medical examiner also had a warning for people who live alone with their cats and why it might be wise to choose a canine companion instead. “Your faithful golden retriever might sit next to your dead body for days, starving, but the tabby won’t,” she wrote. “Your pet cat will eat you right away, with no qualms at all. I’ve seen the result.”"
UK nurse awarded £25,000 after colleague rolled her eyes at her - "A dental nurse who experienced repeated 'eye-rolling' from a colleague at work was awarded over £25,000 in an employment tribunal. Maureen Howieson was given £25,254 after the tribunal heard that she suffered 'bullying and belittling' at the Great Junction Dental Practice in Edinburgh. The 64-year-old's relationship with Jisna Iqbal, a new dental therapist, became 'strained' shortly after she joined the practice last July."
