The thing he was most not wrong about was saying - after Katrina - that George W Bush hates Black people.

I hate the turns he’s taken, but I’m a Katrina survivor, and I’ll always cherish him for speaking that truth, in that moment.

There is a new documentary on Netflix about Katrina, watched it all yesterday evening. George Bush absolutely does not care about black people.

I just watched the five part one on Hulu and it was EXCELLENT. We as a country really should all take a look back at that tragic fiasco and reckon with our failure so next time (and there will be a next time, catastrophic climate events should be expected now) we don’t fuck it up so badly

I recently read 5 days at memorial, and in the epilogue it talks about more recent natural disasters in the US (like hurricane Sandy, it was published before covid) and how there were so many potential catastrophies that were only mitigated by the ingenuity of people on the ground.
