A year after Hurricane Helene, FEMA hasn’t reimbursed millions of dollars spent on cleanup and recovery, upending local budgets and hindering reconstruction.

Truth!
If there’s one truth running through every chapter of American history, it’s this:
progress has never come from the people sitting quietly.
It’s come from the ones willing to get loud, and risk something real.
So to everyone who still thinks protest is unpatriotic —
read a history book.

Nothing Is More American, or More Patriotic Than Citizen Protest
To protest is to be an American patriot; and fuck you, Trump’s bootlickers.
