All, here's my IG carousel calling for the House to take action on hurricane/disaster relief.
It's long, because I'm trying to be clear about the details that Republicans are distorting.

celestepewter on October 10, 2024: "Okay, bear with me. This is going to be long. I wanted to be as detailed as possible, considering the GOP’s lies about FEMA relief. But long story short: Speaker Johnson is slow rolling additional disaster relief until post-election. We need to call on Congress to take it up hurricane disaster relief NOW.".
Just in case anyone else missed it - FEMA's launched a page yesterday to combat the lies around Helene relief that are being spread on X and by Trump & Co.
There's a lot going on, but the port strikes on the East Coast/Gulf coast has officially begun:

Solidarity to the longshoremen.
I'm honestly a little disturbed that someone just tried to argue with me that the DOJ shouldn't be bothering with Alabama, since they turn red every election.
1. That's not the point of the DOJ - they're there to protect the interests of all Americans, not the Americans who vote blue.
2. States like Alabama routinely turn red because of voter suppression.
3. Ditching Alabama is directly harming all of the vulnerable people in the state. Like, come on.
All -
The Justice Department has sued Alabama for purging voters too close to the general election.
Today is a good day to check your voter registration:
* iwillvote.com
* vote.org
* vote.gov
And ask five people in your life to do the same.
