Cutting pre disaster programming will make disasters worse. Just a reminder that there are no "natural" disasters. The real disaster is caused by human actions or lack of action, even policy.

Here are 10,000 brutal words on how Project 2025’s changes to FEMA would create a near-term future in which death tolls increase, more people become homeless & the future of entire communities is threatened. It would be a bloodbath. We must stop them.

If someone were born on Nov 18 in Japan at 3:15 am and they now live in NY, are they allowed to celebrate on Nov 17 at 3:15 pm? Asking for a friend.
