Guess I was wrong in assuming that, since Texas is a solid red state, they would get a decent FEMA response. The agency has been cut so severely that it's not possible. I hope billionaires are grateful for our sacrifice.

Disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine. Climate change, extreme weather, supply chain disruptions and natural disasters hit us harder and faster than others.

We need our communities to look out for us, and we need to look out for one another.

My latest is about my tips for surviving heat waves and wildfires, and includes my top tips for staying cool and cleaning the air:

The worst thing about watching liberals cheer on the deaths of children in red states during natural disasters is knowing that when the midterms come (assuming we still have them) they'll be furious that conservatives aren't turning out to vote for Democrats.

Conservatives aren't that stupid. Waving "we pwomise to kill a few minorities in your honor if you vote for us" in front of their faces every few years will not make them instantly forget what you do the rest of the time.

For people who talk about building coalitions and reaching out to the other side all the time, these people sure do fucking suck at it.

(They did this shit with COVID in red states back in 2020, too)
