With cuts to FEMA, the Trump administration’s denial of climate change this could be a disastrous storm season affecting mostly red states. Many people could die from Trump’s incompetence & insistence to decrease clean energy programs, this is what MAGA voted for. Will they ever wake up.

🧵 The Atlantic hurricane season begins Jun 1. But that fact didn't dissuade Republicans from abruptly rescinding FEMA's 4-yr strategic objectives. Wired pulled FEMA language from the Wayback Machine, noting the 2022-2026 plan called for "equity" in emergency response. www.wired.com/story/fema-c...

This is my friend, @sdschwab.bsky.social, running for Texas #HD44. His Substack makes some great points about MAGA manipulation messaging vs Democratic messaging, especially in rural America. Please give it a read. 👇🏽

“Joe doesn't hate Democrats. But he doesn't feel seen by them either. And that's our failure. While MAGA Republicans offer simple, but false, answers, Democrats often offer deafening silence.
As political polarization increased, Democrats largely focused just on urban areas. But political polarization also increased as Democrats just focused on urban areas!
Industrial towns and rural communities were hurting, and few Democrats were listening.
Then came Trump.”

Trump showed a video to President Ramaphosa of South Africa claiming thousands of crosses were burial sites of white farmers. "Contrary to Mr. Trump’s statements, the crosses are not gravesites for farmers and were not permanently placed along the road." They were for a funeral procession in 2020

Video presentation from Trump to Pres Ramaphosa of South Africa, claiming incorrectly from a social media post that these were graves of murdered farmers.

They were temporary crosses for a funeral procession of a murdered white farming couple.
