Summary

California officials warned that Trump’s order to release massive amounts of water nearly caused severe flooding for farmers.

Trump boasted about the move, claiming it would help fight wildfires, but experts said the water couldn’t reach affected areas, which are over 200 miles away.

The Army Corps of Engineers initially planned to release water at maximum capacity but scaled back after urgent pushback.

Experts warned the water could have been better used months later for irrigation.

      remind me in 4 years … I doubt there will be a revolution. And JD-vance is eager to replace Trump as leader in charge, if potus dies.

        I think if Trump tries this again, Newsom is justified in sending the California National Guard to prevent the Army Corps of Engineers from gaining access. Then, we might get that civil war that the Right has been clamoring for.

      … eventually?

      There needs to be protests in the streets and general strikes yesterday. They’re solidifying power by the day.

        Mutual aid, and other more underground ideas are in discussion.
