We have a very serious disaster unfolding in the Southern Appalachians right now. Multiple locations breaking record river crests by several feet. The Swannanoa River at Biltmore broke a record from 1791. Uncharted territory.
Thank God we have competent people running FEMA now. Watch to see whether the MAGA response is to pull together & help, or to divide & criticize without offering better solutions.
World Central Kitchen has always been an effective & reliable NGO in disasters like these.
I held onto a slim hope for better, but there was never any doubt how MAGA-world would respond to the Helene disaster. Lies, obstruction & division are their stock-in-trade, no matter who gets hurt.
And there’s the answer to the “unite & help or divide & criticize” question: disappointing, but no surprise. Grievance & outrage are all MAGA has to offer - absolutely nothing constructive.
