Replying to @dvewlsh
I do wish we could see more actual working class leftists get media attention. But, there's no infrastructure for that. Only way to do it is if the NYC guys throw you a bone and some RTs. The Trillbillies are a good example of that.

It is objectively good that Newsom asked for a federal emergency declaration for Orange County & Trump approved it. It is a national travesty that one was never signed for East P@lestine & so many other communities that begged for one, still need one, & never got one
President Trump has signed a federal emergency declaration for the Garden Grove district, according to Orange County Supervisor Janet Nguyen and Congressman Derek Tran. abc7.la/FeHprK

I've been interviewing people in and around East Palestine & reporting on that tragedy for 3 years straight. Your post fills me with so much rage. Your callous stupidity & partisan point-scoring bullshit is such a slap to the face of the people who are dying there. You are scum
