Olivia of Troye
This is an alarming moment for country. FEMA's life-saving disaster recovery efforts in North Carolina were disrupted due to threats against federal workers by militias, forcing aid to be paused in hard-hit areas. As communities struggle in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, disinformation & intimidation only deepen the crisis, putting both survivors & responders at greater risk. We must reject this dangerous behavior, stand by those in need & ensure truth & safety prevail in disaster relief efforts. America is better than this.

It just makes me think how much worse things will get in the lead up to the election.

Sick of it

(45,903 posts)5. I'm just shocked that the Guard would step back after a threat like that.
Another waste of money.
