Lest we forget. The Victims of Helene in North Carolina and East Tennessee.

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

You'd think this disaster had been attended to. The victims taken care of, and rebuilding and relief by disaster relief already done to hear how little it is discussed on the news now. Let's at least keep one thread on this going, and post news, and ways to help our neighbors in Rocky Top Country. When the snow hit here yesterday one of my first thoughts was I am so glad I am not in that mess, and wondering what people there are doing. As well as wondering if they're still trying to steal their land.

Now I hear that the full weight of the US gov and our pocketbooks is behind the California fires and I’m angry. I would have rather they spent at least equal the amount for NC and East Tennessee.
Joe Biden’s administration is trash.

To heck with that, the good people of Ukraine need that money more than any American.

Some are about to retire and need a good pension.

Thank you for posting this. I’m upset because people have been without homes and limited financial resources for 3 months during the winter time.
The release of emergency funds should have come to these people emergently. So when I see the federal gov prioritizing politics and war over people here who need help, it makes me angry.

You must be furious about Trump wanting to rebuild and occupy the Gaza strip.

until he does something stupid like invest tax dollars in it, I’m calling it trolling. That’s how preposterous I think that idea is.

Like I said, dudes with bags of hammers outperform agencies like USAID 100% of the time.

Is this the FEMA Trump wants to get rid of for being worthless?

Was the number of people helped by FEMA zero thirty days ago when it became 'his'?

More questions than answers.

Again, any twitter post that starts with BREAKING and has a red siren emoji is guaranteed to be terrible.
