And American citizens in Puerto Rico are dealing with water shortages. We need to do better. What exactly does America first mean?

Climate change is watching videos of disasters on your phone until you're the one filming them. Collapse is when there's a disaster and then no one fixes what broke. Collapse in the US is not a linear process; it's been happening for a while (Katrina, Jackson MS, and others)

Womp womp from Canada

These climate change effects are being felt worldwide. Central Indiana has floods as are other states. Tornadoes in Chicago, rain patterns disrupted, droughts, crop disruptions. Huge El Niño will make 2027 intolerable with crop failures, high food prices, migrations from the global south to north.

Plus rank racism.

The majority of Gary’s population is the wrong color for republicans to give a 💩 about them. 🤬

So much for Trump helping red states.

Might want to read what happened before the outrage. I’ve lived through something similar in S Illinois.

.... "climate injustice" .... Nice phrase 👍

Remind me again who Indiana voted for.

And Trump has 250 workers working 20 hours a day to finish his ballroom! Maybe we could divert those resources to getting Gary, IN their power back.

Look out for each other folks, Our Government doesn't care about any of us. #VoteBLUE

Our Governor, Lt Gov, Attorney General and the entire supermajority legislature only care about pleasing the orange felon and placating "Evangelical" hillbillies with bible verses, cramming Turning Point down our throats, etc. Governing is waaaay down on the list of priorities.

Trump just cares about himself.

"tried to explain why it’s taken the utility longer to restore power compared to ComEd. ComEd has four million customers, compared to NIPSCO’s 500,000. That means the utility has a much larger staff and is better equipped to respond to outages faster." LOL chicago.suntimes.com/weather/nort...

Apparently Gov. Braun doesn't have good connections in DC.

Let's stage a car race in D.C. instead. That'll cheer the people of Gary up!

Wonder how many data centers are still powered..

Crazy!

Can someone drop mutual aid organization links because I’m not sure how to donate

If it was 76% white, the lights would be on.

My thought, especially since there’s also a blackout of the story on MSM, is the government is using Gary as a testing ground of how people will deal with limited resources. People are looting, people are scared. This is mayhem & that is what the leaders want to turn citizens against each other.

Also why the Bears should not move there, although if the stadium was there would probably already have power

All clear- no need to panic - Indiana is a Red State. They voted for this stupid shit. This'll learn 'em.

Indiana becomes Florida, a banana republic

Gary is a tiny blue dot on the red Indiana electoral map. This is political retribution.

It’s racism.

The Republicans and Trump don’t even send thoughts and prayers. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/08/grow...

Aid for me but not for thee. This is the most frustrating of timelines.

This power interuption is just the beginning of the repercussions of climate change (really global warming).

The mayor of Gary was on Politics Nation today. But otherwise, yes, very disappointing.

Well that happens when you have a terminal case of GOP.

This is a signature of the Trump regime. Why should they help people, that are not voting for them, are not wealthy or white? And why are even helping, does anyone have a benefit from that? The people in Puerto Rico have no water. In Gary, they have no power. Tbc

What do you expect from a shithole president.

Embarrassed Hoosier here... governor Braun visited wealthy Hamilton county. No show in Gary. In case anyone's wondering where he aligns with his lt. gov Beckwith's Nazi rally earlier this summer.

BlackRock knows what it's doing.

No word from commander incoherent.

This is what RACISM does. Or at least one of the things. All the regime cares about is a photo op showing supposed help … handing out a bit of water, to the whiter part of town. I sure hope there is enough reporting that this slaps voters to vote for change. I pray the power is on BEFORE Tuesday.

Racial injustice too

Brought to us by Trump!

Like every other State it's purple leaning either blue or red with a simple majority. Their cities like most are dem, including Gary.

And corporate media barely covers it

Where’s the Indiana National Guard?

That’s what red states deliver. Shit

No help to GARY!! Who is their senators, reps and mayor? Maybe we can find out and start inundating them with calls for support!

Gary IN = Flint MI.

Other states should rush in and back charge Indiana- fuck it.

Gary's mayor was on Politics Nation today and said ComEd has sent help in from Illinois. Those guys are really good. I hope they get their power back very soon and are compensated for food loss, etc.

Has nothing to do with “getting to it.”

WTF do you mean by “equally unacceptable?” Do you know ANYTHING about power grids or the challenges after 100 mph winds? The storm destroyed or severely damaged 291 utility poles, 44 transmission poles, and caused 27 substation outages. Google exists.

Yet, I keep seeing people who are storm affected in similar ways mention power outages for a weeks or two. It might be unacceptable but it seems common for similar weather events.

I like criminal negligence better

This is Klansman Braun and the GOP racists.

Also racist af

unacceptable

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Indiana a state in the 🇺🇸 🗽ruined by….err, ummm…lead by Republicans?!?🤷🏻‍♀️

This is the epitome of inhumanity. During their weather right now????

You’d think having a song in a musical about Gary, Indiana would help it. IYKYK

I just heard this story last night! Where’s the president, governor? We have the cruelest people running the country! This should be handled as a national emergency! Can you imagine how dangerous it is there at night? And the heat? Phones not charged! Hope everyone remembers this when they vote!

This is the only thing Trump cares about, if you’re not a ballroom you’re on your own

How's that possible in a supposedly most advanced nation

It’s racism

More like administrative injustice

It’s just plain old injustice.

Trump is mad at them because they wouldn't do the redistricting of congressional maps for voters. He wanted an edge in Indiana, and he didn't get it. So he is punishing them for it. That's what he does. Revenge and money are the only two things that motivate him. He is a despicable human being.😠

Truly, how sad 😔 😟 🙁
