i find it so fucking egregious that 8 billion dollars was very recently sent to arm israel in their genocidal siege on palestine and attacks on lebanon, meanwhile there is a natural disaster happening in our own country in which the government is doing fuck all to help with. they haven’t even declared helene and her floods a national disaster yet
chimney rock, north carolina has been basically wiped off the map. it’s gone. reports from the ground in asheville are saying the people are absolutely stranded and very few have power or service or anywhere to go. im seeing video and post one after the other of citizens grieving entire losses of their farms, their livelihoods, saying all of their animals are gone and the floods destroyed everything in their wake. it’s devastating.
