Immigrants rebuilt New Orleans. Now Republicans are abducting and deporting them without due process.

Immigrants helped rebuild New Orleans, then they set down roots. Under Trump, some worry they’ll be forced to leave. - Verite News New Orleans

Katrina brought an influx of Latin American immigrants, often undocumented, seeking work in the city. Many stayed, opening businesses and building communities here.

I just wrote up how I cut “George Bush Don’t Like Black People” in under 24 hrs back in ’05. No SoundCloud, no Spotify—just a TiVo full of Katrina, a smoky Canon GL2, a beat-up PowerBook, and a metric fuck-ton of rage. I synced TV corpsespeak to Legendary K.O. / K-Otix’s CC track, slapped grimy titles, exported a crusty QuickTime, and hurled it onto the Internet Archive. We embedded it on subMedia, the NYT linked it, and the site face-planted from traffic.

Point is: remix isn’t a genre, it’s a weapon. When the state abandons people and corporate media gaslights, jack the feed and make your own damn video.

Uploading Rage: The DIY Birth of a Viral Katrina Remix | Amplifier Films

In the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina (landfall: August 29, 2005), I made a remix video sparked by Kanye West’s live remark on September 2, 2005. This is the behind‑the‑scenes of how it came together—gear, grit, politics, and all the messy human feelings.

It’s the eve of the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina making landfall in Louisiana and I hate it. I want to do more, I want to say more, I want to write more, but at the same time it feels futile and I want to go into a cave where I don’t have to hear about it or talk about it until it all blows over. #Louisiana #NOLA #Remember
