Today marks 20 years since Hurricane Katrina made landfall. One last thing I wanted to share is this video we did as part of Crash Course Black American History that examines the storm and its aftermath. Thinking about all my New Orleans people today. And always. youtu.be/VmqZvlj07-w

Weird to use the word "excellent" here given the subject matter, but this was an excellent video in a great series.

Imagine if we had Katrina now under Trump. It would have made the '05 Katrina look like a picnic!

I'm watching Spike Lee's 2006 doc When the Levees Broke, brings back so many memories, and I was not there, the devastation and the lack of resources from the Feds. If something like that occurs under the Trump administration, we are f**ked, making that response look perfect
