For more than 60 years, hundreds of unclassified reports from the US defense and intelligence community have assessed the threats to the US from environmental, #water, and #climate risks.
Those reports are disappearing from government websites and the military is being ordered to cancel, and censor, these security analyses.
I've documented, annotated, and linked to them on my website in three blog posts. The first one is here (the next two are there as well):

This is how FPTP destabilizes democracy, it's now coming straight for #Canada
We have to stop treating #ProportionalRepresentation like some back burner issue or we will lose our country.
If that conservative leadership race used our federal voting system he would have become the leader with just 28% of the vote.
Several years later PP got in anyway.
I’d love to see more greens, more libertarians, an indigenous party, people representing what Canadians want coming into a room and figuring out what at least half of them can agree on.

When you’re scripting for a screen reader, then you’re scripting for the browser, with exactly the same level of JavaScript support.
