    Give it enough time and every conspiracy theory from the "Right" becomes true... ...DHS just confirmed in a 22-page report that FEMA staff recorded DISASTER VICTIMS’ political beliefs and skipped over their homes because of it That’s not a rumor, it’s in the official report🧵

    It started after Hurricane Milton in Florida. A FEMA supervisor literally told staff to “avoid homes advertising Trump.” At least 20 families were skipped for aid before others were sent back later.

    FEMA staff weren’t just logging storm damage to people's homes like they were supposed to... they logged what people believed. “Trump signs.” “Pro-gun.” “Anti-Biden.” These were things they put IN WRITING FOR FEMA CASES!!! How long have they gotten away with this???

    This wasn’t just Florida, it happened across the country, according to the report. The same pattern showed up in multiple states between 2021-2024. That includes reviews after Hurricane Helene, right here in Western North Carolina.

    They said it was about “avoiding hostile homes.” But DHS found FEMA never even defined what “hostile” meant. So some staff just decided certain Trump signs made a home unsafe. And get this... FEMA never reported ANY of it as a privacy breach. That’s required BY LAW!!!

    Honestly, I’m not even shocked anymore. I hoped this wasn’t true… but deep down, I think a lot of us all suspected it was, even when we were all called conspiracy theorists at the time.
