Please keep western NC and the rest of Southern Appalachia in your hearts. Those areas aren’t prepared for hurricanes as they almost never get hit with them. I understand that it can be frustrating to watch some rich influencer on Tiktok decide to wait out the storm in their beachfront property in Florida, but this ain’t Florida, and the folks who’s lives are being destroyed certainly ain’t rich.

Instead of sending hate towards innocent humans that weren’t able to, or didn’t think to evacuate, maybe direct your energy towards something productive like fundraising to rebuild the entire towns that were demolished.

Two Black Tennessee lawmakers were physically escorted out of chambers this week while Republicans quietly held a hearing to approve gerrymandered maps that would eliminate the state’s only majority-Black congressional district. No referendum. No special election. No public vote. Because they know what happens when voters actually get a say — just look at Virginia, where the people spoke so loudly that Republicans had to drag the courts in to override them. This isn’t new.

During Reconstruction, Black Americans held more congressional seats than at any point in the prior 90 years of American history. And white supremacists spent the next several decades tearing that down, through gerrymandering, poll taxes, and voter intimidation. 150 years later, the same tools. Different suits.

The audacity of escorting Black lawmakers out of their own chambers while dismantling Black political representation, and then telling us the courts aren’t political, is breathtaking. These are the same courts they’re counting on to make it stick. This is a coordinated, multi-front assault on Black Americans. And we need to say it exactly that plainly.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

We dnt be mad enough. These people are organised and clear on the fact that they’re against us. We’re disorganised and unclear on the fact that they’re against us. It’s really sad!
