It’s a real damn shame the US’s “help” to Mexico right now is focused on the safety of “US citizens” when Mexico’s actual literal military offered to help the US after Katrina and they showed up in force for us. a true shame indeed

“Barbara, a bartender at the Kajun's Pub, lies on a pool table during a party in New Orleans, Louisiana. They didn't stop serving when Hurricane Katrina trashed New Orleans, and they defied looters by turning their bar into a fortress, with a shotgun-wielding transvestite as sentry at the door. But regulars at the Kajun Pub regretfully drank a final toast to their life in the ‘Big Easy’ and bowed to authorities' demands that they turn their backs on their stinking, wounded city.”

The Link between Hurricane Katrina and Anti-LGBTQ Rhetoric | Dame Magazine

for the last 17 years, I have kept a list. It is a list of pastors and preachers and spokespeople for religious organizations who blamed Hurricane Katrina on the “sin” in New Orleans. Those that said the city deserved it. Purveyors of the notion that the hurricane was God’s judgment on the city, that the dead had it coming, that America had it coming, that, especially, the LGBTQIA+ community was and is such a moral abomination that God smote the city to punish it for supporting them. That Southern Decadence, one of the largest celebrations of the gay community in the Crescent City, that opened my eyes to how much bigger and brighter and more beautiful the world could be outside of my small Missouri hometown, was why the city had to be destroyed. The idea that my gay, bisexual, and transgender friends, all of whom were scattered and hurting in the aftermath, were why New Orleans was drowned by their God.

Pat Robertson. Franklin Graham. John Hagee. Rick Joyner. Bill Shanks. Jennifer Giroux. Gerhard Wagner. John McTernan. Hal Lindsey. Charles Colson. Michael Marcavage. Rick Scarborough. Fred Phelps. A droplet of names out of a sea of hate. Anti-LGBTQIA+ violence has always been a bedrock of Christian nationalists, and that the renewed fervor of it, combined with the ignoring of natural disasters and pandemics—or blaming them on LGBTQIA+ communities, as is happening with monkeypox—is not new, it is what the Christian right in this country does. And as much as we like to think things have changed, that list? Those people? They are still at it.

Fourteen days after the levees broke, Pat Robertson got on The 700 Club and blamed both terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina on abortion, while discussing Supreme Court nominee John Roberts

Six Flags, New Orleans. Abandoned since Katrina. I was immediately asked to leave by security after taking this.

Déjà Vu (2006) Directed by Tony Scott Cinematography by Paul Cameron

Watched this again for the first time in about 15 years.

Even though the technology doesn't really make sense, Tony Scott did a good job of getting you to believe it in the moment and continue on with the rollercoaster. He was very good at that (see: Crimson Tide).

What is happening at Eagle Pass is not a political stunt, nor are the actions by red state governors to send the National Guard there as “support.” It is a manifestation of a kind of democracy death wish by state supremacists to militarily challenge the federal government. These are the election (and reality) deniers who would trade democracy and the will of the majority for authoritarianism and oppression by the few — or the one. On women’s reproductive rights, immigration, diversity, and gender and economic equality, the rallying cry of these provincial prefects is “state’s rights,” just as it was 164 years ago. Do not forgive them, for they know what they do. “Those justifying their embrace of authoritarianism as the future of government in the twenty-first century say that democracy is obsolete,” writes Heather Cox Richardson in “Democracy Awakening,” her 2023 book. “Some argue that popular government responds too slowly to the rapid pace of the modern world and that strong countries need a leader who can make fast decisions without trying to create a consensus among the people.”

We have today a powerful phalanx of politicians who would deny us that right to choose for ourselves how to live — whether we are writing from a book-filled room on Constitution Street in Emporia, or wading to an unknown shore toward the promise of a better life, drawn by the lamp of liberty. To deny the humanity in others is to deny the humanity in ourselves. A sweeping statement, I know, and I can already hear the howls of my critics. Fentanyl! Human trafficking! Gang violence! Foreign acquisition of farmland! Yes, there are criminals among undocumented immigrants, but studies show they are less prone to crime than U.S. residents. Foreign purchase of land? Not a significant threat. And while immigration presents a considerable challenge in this era of political, cultural and climate-driven displacement, we must always remember that we are dealing with fellow human beings. ... Who constitutes a human being has been the overwhelming question driving the American experiment. We have gotten it badly wrong at times, from counting Black people as three-fifths of a person to denying women the vote. The definition of who deserves the inalienable rights guaranteed us by the founders has always been what threatens to break us as a nation. Until recently, we moved in fits and starts toward a definition that is progressively more equal and inclusive. Yet, the current authoritarian impulses of a minority of Americans is threatening to undo us and plunge us back to the pre-Civil War days when your freedoms were largely defined not by the federal government, but by the state where you lived.

Apparently there's going to be an Apple TV+ (which I don't have) series on what went down at Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina, where medical staff–most notably Dr. Anna Pou, who went on to write legislation that would protect doctors like her–murdered disabled patients "for the greater good". Which is something I wish was talked about more.
