🃏 THE DECK | MakeAssholesGoAway – Table Turn
Nothing ironic about maggots clearing Mexicans while eating their food.
Who’s washing the dishes?

Some clean their tables.
Some clear the truth.
In Gotham, the masks come off when the plates are empty.

FEMA and other agencies are dialing down the urgency. FEMA rebranded “climate resilience” to “future conditions,” stripping out direct references to climate change, even as scientists warn of more extreme weather. This isn’t just changing words—it’s shifting the narrative The Verge
