Hurricane Katrina and the devastating fallout revealed flaws in FEMA's ability to manage natural disasters. 20 years later, Trump + Noem are leading us to another Katrina-level disaster.

This year, FEMA has lost 1/3 of its workforce.

This week, FEMA workers released a declaration sounding the alarm. Trump + Noem's response? Putting them on administrative leave. Two of the workers were pulled directly off the Kerrville, TX, flood response.

When disaster strikes, FEMA stands with you. Now it's time to stand with them ➡️ sign the support letter. Link: www.standupforscience.net/katrina-decl...

My Grandpa was a WW II veteran & civil engineer who worked afyer his retirement with FEMA. I think he would be ashamed if he was here to see what the husk of itself it has been reduced to under this administration

Looking back on 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I wonder how citizens of Louisiana feel about Mike Johnson pushing and passing The Big Bogus Bill that cuts funding for Healthcare, SNAP and helps Trump dismantle FEMA MIKE JOHNSON doesn't work for Louisiana - he works for Trump #FEMA #KATRINA

Won't cost them votes unless it affects white neighborhoods severely. Then the crackers might smarten up.

20 years ago I had a tire blow-out in rural New Mexico (yes, on Route 66). The woman who replaced my temp with a new tire told me her teenaged daughter was devastated by all the films because her name was "Katrina." I can't help thinking of that now 30+year-old every time I see the awful pictures.

It was one of the early climate change fueled hurricanes, timed about the same as the megafires.
