This is sickening

The river didn’t wait.
It didn’t care if you were Republican or Democrat, rich or poor. It didn’t check for permits or wait for signatures. It rose—fast, merciless, unrelenting. It tore through homes, swallowed playgrounds, ripped children from bunks at summer camp. At Camp Mystic, 27 campers and counselors—most of them little girls—died. Across Texas, 120 lives were lost. Over 160 more are missing. And every one of them mattered.
But when the flood came, help didn’t.
Not because FEMA wasn’t ready. They were.
Not because Texas didn’t ask. They did.
But because Kristi Noem—Donald Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Cruelty—refused to sign the goddamn paperwork.
That’s right. Under Trump’s new rules, FEMA now needs personal approval from Noem for any disaster expense over $100,000—chump change in an emergency. And while water swallowed entire towns and families clung to rooftops, ICE Barbie was too busy running a pick-me contest on Instagram, asking her followers which gratuitously Photoshopped oil painting of herself playing “Frontier Cosplay Barbie: Horse Fascist Edition” made her look more powerful.
That’s not satire. That actually happened.
