Hard to comprehend the scale of the flood disaster in Pakistan, the 5th most populated nation in the world.

Nearly 1400 dead, 1 million houses damaged or destroyed, and 50,000,000 people displaced.

1/3 of the country is underwater.pic.twitter.com/NFd15q3g7I

This is Neekas, Heiltsuk Territory. All of these salmon went into the creek, the creek dried up b/c of no rain so far this fall, and just died, and this is just one reach! Global warming is killing everything. This is such a sad scene. Video credit, Sarah Mund pic.twitter.com/vYhEKwD5mN

During Trump's visit to East Palestine today, he lied about his rail deregulations, saying he "had nothing to do with it."

He stopped a rule requiring better brake systems on trains with hazardous materials, a proposal mandating two-man crews, and more.https://t.co/ymN34GLmdI

This incredible Maui rescue story…

Lahaina resident Jubee Bedoya was trying to escape the incredibly fast moving fire by making a desperate run for the ocean when he encountered a family of five from California. The father handed him his two year-old son, and they waited into… pic.twitter.com/GaYbyfq6hE

we were in Lahaina for the week before the fire…. we left Lahaina the Sunday before the town went up in flames on Tuesday…. we have visited that town few times on prior vacations….

my kid is fire inspector for a local Fire Dept in California. he noted the wind and dry conditions in that area while we were there…… the hurricane was approximately 650 miles south of Hawaii, thus parts of the island had windy conditions…, other parts were very calm including Lahaina. the winds got stronger after we left, even though the hurricane had moved farther away ( 800 miles ) at the time of the fire. the wind path must’ve changed and focused on the western part of Maui to stoke the fire.

very sad to see that town burn… a very special place for us…..
