          if anyone was curious as to why politicians push their anti-immigrant, anti-lgbtq+ etc. agendas it’s to distract folks from the fact that they’re gutting infrastructure budgets  to fund genocide and build cop cities. they’re letting folks to lose their livelihoods, families, homes, and towns, when natural disasters such as hurricane helene inevitably occur because they’re being paid to ignore climate change 
          
          folks in appalachia, particularly western north carolina and east tennessee, are stranded because their roads are flooded or have been completely destroyed by the water because dams and levees have broken. whole towns are completely underwater, people are dying because of down powerlines and people do not care. these are impoverished, rural areas, if people do not care, they will not get the help they need.
          
          i know looking towards november, that at the executive level, it is truly horrible vs. horrific, but if you’re an american who will be 18+ by then, i implore you to vote and most importantly pay very close attention to what and who you are voting for. not only to the candidates on the ballot but the bills your states have put forward.
          
          this is not as eloquent as i would’ve liked it to be but i am sad and i am angry.

          there’s a documentary that contextulizes it a bit more and shows how neglect of these communities and their infrastructure caused the damage during katrina but i’m currently blanking on the name, once i remember i’ll put it in the replies.
