Stories about dead people, NOT BLACK, drowned in flooding in NYC in basement apartments. Do their lives matter to official BLM or must they remain silent about them so as not to ruin their racist ~~narrative~~ propaganda?

New Yorkers tried to save neighbors from Ida’s floods. Sometimes they couldn’t.

Cramped basement apartments have long been a prevalent piece of New York City’s vast housing stock, a shadowy network of illegal rentals that often lack basic safety features like more than one way to get out, and that yet are a vital source of shelter for many immigrants like Robert Bravo, who lived in a dark basement unit in Brooklyn that he tried to cheer up with personal mementos.

But after Wednesday’s record-shattering rainfall, the underground units turned into tormented scenes of life and death: Of the 13 people known to have died so far in New York City in Wednesday’s storm, at least 11 were in basement units, nearly as many dead as in Louisiana, where Hurricane Ida made landfall on Sunday [....]

Murder hornet & raining toads - end of times you'll be sorry for that Coke. Could've had perfect harmony.

FWIW, their narrative defeats this one

7.19" of rain fell in Central Park last night. Meteorologists are calling it a once in 500-year event.

But of course that standard has to be entirely throwing out now. We are in uncharted territory.

But "we are all on this planet together" just doesn't seem to sell anymore

(New version of old advert: I wouldn't like to buy anyone else a Coke, much less the world; looking to stoke maximum disharmony? Keeps Putie happy?)

same shit, playing the same game (he's just a slow learner?)

a page out of the book of Carl Schmitt, an anti-modernist, pro-authoritarian German political philosopher known for insisting that the core distinction of politics "is that between friend and enemy."

By surrendering to a politics built on hate, JD Vance has joined the ranks of Adrian Vermeulle, Sohrab Ahmari, Michael Anton...and, yes, one of history's most prominent Nazi apologists. https://t.co/j1dTaeqAZA

p.s. I notice that TN death toll of 18 plus 3 missing is still beating NOLA's from Ida of 6.

Silly me, I presumed this disaster last week in Tennessee affected mostly poor white folks and likewise I incorrectly presumed the poor urban planning of few ways to evacuate the Lake Tahoe area had little to do with racism. The narrative: whypipple do not suffer, they cause all the suffering.
