Tragedy and Travesty
from MOMocrats Hosted by MOMocrats
One week after the floods that killed over 100 people in Texas, the tragedy in ongoing. People are wondering how much DOGE’s cuts to the National Weather Service and NOAA factored into it. Journalist Marisa Kabas has reported that as of Monday, only 86 FEMA employees were on the ground in Texas (they usually deploy hundreds of people to disaster zones like this). In the meantime, $450 million from FEMA’s budget has been allocated to that concentration camp in the swamps of Florida. And Trump’s big, ugly budget bill allocates billions to expand ICE and build more “detention centers” throughout the country. ICE continues to terrorize immigrant communities, kidnapping law-abiding parents, gardeners, day laborers, and others who just happen to have brown skin (including US citizens). MOMocrats Aliza Worthington and Donna Schwartz Mills discuss in this week’s podcast. Follow us on BlueSky @socalmom.bsky.social @karoli.bsky.social @AlizaWrites.bsky.social
