The worst offenders of discrimination while I was in Texas for 3 years were Hispanics complaining about other Hispanics coming to us over the border. Like, you dumb fukk, that was you 5 years ago.

│ They unironically vote for Trump because they think they're one of the "good ones", and when Trump hates Latinos he really just means "the bad ones". Hell, half of them think they're white, or they describe themselves as or they're good to go because they're "legals".

│ "Oh when Trump says "deport them all" he really means all those bad Mexicans, Cubans, Venezuelans, etc. We're good Argentineans. We all get jobs and never commit crimes. We're also basically Europeans who happen to live in South America, surely the MAGA know we're the good ones."

│ To Trump, they're all "illegals" and they're all targets for deportation. In Trump's own words: if they're legal, he will make them illegal, then deport them. So you end up with people like this, who get deported but their family still support Trump:



│ It's similar with Eastern Europeans. The average American would be wondering why their Serb, Croatian, Albanian, Bosnian, and Kosovar neighbours all have issues with each other. To them they're distinct groups, but in the US they're just one big bloc all from the Balkans, or Eastern Europe (just like they're all just Latinos from down south).

Edited for clarity.

I don't think twitchy.com is even worthy of being a dishrag, but I kept seeing it pop up as it's some sort of credible reference.

While Trump overhauls FEMA, Mississippi tornado survivors await assistance​


By SOPHIE BATES

Updated 4:06 PM EDT, May 20, 2025

TYLERTOWN, Miss. (AP) — More than two months after a tornado demolished his Mississippi home, Brian Lowery still sifts through the rubble, hoping to find a tie clip his mother gave him, made from the center stone of her wedding band.

“I still have hope,” Lowery said.

He, his wife and 13-year-old son made it to safety before the tornado ripped apart their trailer home of 15 years during a severe weather outbreak in mid-March. But the recovery since has been slow and painful. Mississippi’s request for federal aid is still pending before the Federal Emergency Management Agency, meaning badly needed assistance has not yet made it to his hard-hit community of Tylertown.

“I don’t know what you got to do or what you got to have to be able to be declared for a federal disaster area because this is pretty bad,” Lowery said. “We can’t help you because, whatever, we’re waiting on a letter; we’re waiting on somebody to sign his name. You know, all that. I’m just over it.”

It is not unusual for weeks to pass before FEMA approves a declaration. President Donald Trump has pointed to these waits as a reason he is considering dismantling the agency, calling FEMA “very bureaucratic” and “very slow.”

The wait offers a glimpse of what could be in store for communities around the country as the summer storm season arrives and FEMA is mired in turmoil. States including Kentucky, Missouri and Oklahoma have already been battered with tornadoes this week, setting the stage for more disaster requests to FEMA. And the Atlantic hurricane season is just around the corner.

FEMA is able to respond quite effectively in many ways, but “getting the resources to those communities after the fact has been slowed,” said Susan Cutter, a Carolina Distinguished Professor of Geography at the University of South Carolina and co-director of the Hazards Vulnerability & Resilience Institute.

In coming disasters, Cutter said ,she anticipates seeing slower progress in getting needed resources to communities in a timely manner.

March storms left 7 dead and wrecked hundreds of homes​


In Mississippi, nearly 20 tornadoes tore through the state on March 14 and 15, leaving seven people dead and hundreds of homes destroyed or damaged. Republican Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves asked the Trump administration for a major disaster declaration on April 1.

Such a declaration would allow access to an array of FEMA resources, including financial aid for individuals and for government agencies still removing debris and repairing infrastructure.

“We don’t have a declaration yet. People are still hurting,” said Royce McKee, emergency management director for Walthall County, which includes Tylertown.

Walthall County was especially hard hit by the massive storm system that tore across multiple states. The storm spawned two significant tornadoes in the county, where four people died.

McKee said the county has sunk an estimated $700,000 into the cleanup, but can’t afford more. It has halted recovery operations while awaiting federal assistance.

“We need federal help, and we need it desperately, and we need it now,” said Bobby McGinnis, a Tylertown resident and firefighter. “I know President Trump said that — America first, we’re going to help our American folks first. But we haven’t seen the federal folks down here.”

Requests for help come at a time of upheaval for FEMA​


Mississippi’s request comes at a time of upheaval for FEMA. Its acting administrator, Cameron Hamilton, was recently ousted after he publicly disagreed with Trump’s proposal to get “rid of FEMA.”

David Richardson, FEMA’s new acting administrator, has committed himself to executing Trump’s vision for the agency. He also previewed potential policy changes, saying there could be “more cost-sharing with states” and that FEMA would coordinate federal assistance “when deemed necessary.”

While Mississippi has been waiting, a similar major disaster declaration request out of Arkansas after the storms was initially denied. it was then appealed by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and finally approved on May 13.

In Missouri, there are frustrations about the federal response to March storms​


In Missouri, the federal response to earlier storms is being criticized as residents pick up the pieces after a recent EF3 tornado. Packing winds of up to 150 mph (240 kph), it slammed into parts of St. Louis on Friday. The city now awaits a disaster declaration from the Missouri governor’s office so it can access federal help.

“We need to get the federal government mobilized,” said U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican. “All federal resources that can be brought to bear here should be.”

Hawley also expressed frustration over the federal response in March, adding, “We cannot wait months. I’m not happy about the fact we’re still waiting from all of that damage two months ago.”

Mississippi lawmakers press federal officials about assistance​


Mississippi lawmakers continue to press for federal help. At a congressional hearing in early May, Republican Mississippi Rep. Michael Guest asked U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whose department oversees FEMA, to push forward the request.

“I would ask you if you could make sure that you could do everything to expedite that request,” Guest said. ”It is impacting my local jurisdictions with debris cleanup. It is impacting people as they seek to recover.”

Republican Mississippi U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith also asked Noem about FEMA assistance and the administration’s new approach to the agency.

“President Trump has been very clear that he believes that the way that FEMA exists today should not continue,” Noem responded. “He wants to make sure that those reforms are happening where states are empowered to do the response and trained and equipped, and then the federal government would come in and support them and financially be there when they need them on their worst day.”

Good bye TPS (Temporary Protected Status)! Supreme Court allows White House to end protections for 350K Venezuelans for now - waiting for the next "Beyond Betrayed" reaction from all those Latino Trump Voters as their friends and families that "used to be legal" are now deportable.

Venezuelans broke for Trump in 2020 and are now rewarded with deportations and no TPS

I mean Trump stated all he wanted was your vote.
