#Trump #MAGA #GOP #Republican priorities:
Money for #ICE in #LosAngeles, no money for #tornado damage in #StLouis
This man is walking around North St Louis pointing out the hypocrisy of ignoring real crises while manufacturing fake crises
It's never about improvement
It's always about scapegoating and blame
#USA is a sick country
(But they're gutting the CDC because Fauci Bilderberg reptilians blah blah blah {insert deranged MAGA shit here}, so expect a lot more literal sickness too)
125 years before Donald Trump embraced the white Afrikaners of South Africa, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch was campaigning to get the Boers, forebears of the Afrikaners, to emigrate to Missouri. While a few thousand Boers did end up in the U.S., they settled in other states.
Excellent news! Now, if we could just get a #Portillos, please. #StLouis #food #restaurants #dining #ItalianBeef

Jasmine Crockett represents Texas but was born in #StLouis #Missouri which was recently hit by devastating tornados, with the most underprivileged parts of the city hardest hit. Here she talks about how FEMA's response has been completely hobbled by the #Trump regime. Some folks are spending their #MemorialDay weekend amidst rubble without #FEMA aid.
She says Black-led local organizations are stepping up with mutual aid and she talks about how we can support them.
Another video from home-ish. The Moorlands.
My old neighborhood, sorta, after a tornado.
Polo Drive is a maze of big houses behind my Mom's old house. It is built on the former polo field of the old St. Louis Country Club. Our street was the 1-block plot where the original clubhouse had been.
The eastern residential section of Clayton, south of Wash. U., is full of giant old trees. Lots of gas pipes ripped out of the ground.

@Ashedryden I left #StLouis too long ago to recommend any places to eat...
Do not miss the City Museum, a creation of artist Bob Cassily in a former shoe factory downtown. The St. Louis Zoo is always enjoyable (and free!) and the other 4 "major" institutions suppored by the regional Zoo & Museum District (https://zmdstl.org) are ALL worth visiting. The Missouri Botanical Garden was always one of my favorite places and is especially remarkable in the Spring.
I am thinking about taking a trip to St. Louis, MO; where can I find the best vegan-friendly restaurants, coffee shops, unique museums/history/science stuff? #StLouis
Hoping a few others can pitch in:
“I’m Delois Holmes son Reginald Holmes the day that tornado touchdown I walked in the house and seen my mom on the basement steps unfortunately she was not alive. This is a big tragedy. Our house is completely gone. My mom is gone and we’re just asking for any help that anyone could give is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.” #StLouis #Tornado
