We don’t need Ted Cruz lecturing the public on not being political about a tragedy. He’s the last one.

FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims

Nor will I.

Instead of blaming children for their own deaths at the hands of a natural disaster, you could put that energy towards supporting a voting rights organization given that too many people in the south definitely do not have the power you seem to think they do

Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

My mood today

If you don't understand the nuance/truth that a lot of the "Red" states are red because of gerrymandering, disenfranchisement, voter suppression, etc

And that there are liberals there who didn't vote for shitty people & policies

Saying "____ state deserves it" =
You're as foul as the fascists

Yeah and I’m related to some of them. It really sucks. But thank you. It’s hard but there are more of us here opposing the magats than people realize.

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either.

This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.

Big Beautiful Bill prohibits HHS from enforcing minimum staffing standards for nursing homes.

Republicans decided it's about time somebody stuck it to these nursing home freeloading patients who have too easy lives in their too well staffed facilities.

That is true. There are places it can be very shallow as well.

Well I got a lot of scorn from some people. I finally blocked most of them. It’s hard enough living here without that.

There was no alert. An evacuation plan wouldn’t have done anything. They got no alert. They were just hit by a wall of water. Turns out the county doesn’t even have an emergency alert system.

It’s always very fast and cold.

I grew up camping here. It breaks my heart to think of those little girls.

Hill Country flooding death toll rises to 43 as search continues for missing girls, other survivors Twenty-seven girls from the Camp Mystic summer camp remain missing.

UPDATE: The official death toll jumped to 43 following the catastrophic floods that hit the Texas Hill Country as of Saturday evening, local officials announced during a news conference.

I shouldn’t let some strangers on the internet make me cry, but to my shame, I did today. Y’all just remember you never know what someone is going through. A little kindness goes a long way.

We know Abbot doesn’t care either. He will ask for help because it’s expected, but he doesn’t care if we drown here.

Yep. The north is suffering under an epic heatwave. We are cool and wet. Flooding. Tell me that climate isn’t broken.

Sorry for caring. Back to your online performances which I’m sure are changing the world in marvelous ways. 🤷‍♀️

That’s why I worked in Allred’s campaign against him. He is dog shit. But tarring us all with the same brush is playing right into MAGA hands. If we fight each other, we have lost.

Fuck you. I actively worked in campaigns against them. If you can’t spare a ln ounce of empathy for a bunch of dead children then you are cold and dead inside. I guess only blue states matter.

Heartless is right. Guess all those dead 9 year olds didn’t vote. So it serves them right? Jesus man.

You know what? Fuck all the way off Bruce. Great empathy. This is my home. I stay here to fight and make it better. A lot of us do. But apparently that makes me dog shit to you. I guess all those dead 9 year olds should have just moved away too. Fuck them right??

Your regular reminder that most people in this country can't afford to move to another state and the inclination to say they're getting what they voted for in the devastation of a hurricane or flood or whatever the hell is a failure of common sense and empathy on multiple levels.

Thank you. Also, if I leave Texas the bastards win. I’m staying to fight them.

Yo dump only carried Texas 6.3 to 4.5 million. Thats a lot of us in Texas who don’t deserve your scorn. Also the little girls at summer camp who were the majority who died.

WTF is Noem supposed to do here? Doesn’t she know the humidity will frizz her hair? 😡😡😡

🤦‍♀️
