/1⚠️MISPLACED PRIORITIES —

Over the last 4 years the Biden-Harris admin has steadily transformed FEMA — the agency responsible for responding to natural disasters like Hurricane Helene — into an illegal alien resettlement agency that emphasizes DEI over public safety.

THREAD: Image
/2 The Shelter and Services Program is designed to exclusively provide shelter and services to illegal aliens. 

Over $1 BILLION in taxpayer dollars have been allocated between FY2023 and FY2024.
Image
Image
/3 For example, of that $1 billion, FEMA gave over $38 million to NYC – a sanctuary city overrun by illegal aliens.

NYC, in turn, is handing out gift cards and hotels to illegal aliens. Image
/4 Moreover, the Emergency Food and Shelter Program has been reshaped to provide funding to “families and individuals encountered by the Department of Homeland Security” – aka illegal aliens.

This is a SEPARATE program. 

$685 MILLION has been allocated to fund illegal aliens.
Image
Image
/5 Beyond allocating billions of taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens, the agency has been entirely captured by the "equity" agenda – a euphemism for discrimination.

The #1 goal of their strategic plan is to “Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management.” Image
/6 For example, one of their initiatives to address “equity” is “Prioritizing casework and evaluation for direct housing eligibility for vulnerable populations to include those with access and functional needs or those who have a primary language other than English.” Image
/7 They even went so far as to publish a “Post-Disaster Guide for Local Officials and Leaders” in November 2023 for “Achieving Equitable Recovery.”

In other words, they are pushing their equity agenda on states and locals as a way of reshaping communities affected by disasters. Image
/8 In the “Summary of Eight Equity Goals” within the guide, they advocate for “equitable outcomes” and “rebuilt community ‘with justice for all.’”

Effectively, FEMA is factoring race, sex, and sexual preferences into who should receive disaster relief first. Image
/9 The guide outlines how to “Track and Evaluate Equity Outcomes,” including asking officials to consider if people are receiving “recovery resources” based on “distributive justice.”

“Distributive justice” is just the radical way of saying discrimination based on race and sex. Image
/10 One of the guide’s goals outlines how to “Overcome Barriers and Ensure Fair Recovery Outcomes" and includes a chart of "barriers to equity," including:

-Burnout 
-Hate crimes
-Political polarization
-Power disparities
-Bias Image
/11 FEMA also identified “People of color,” “Women,” and “The LGBTQ+ community” as “disproportionately impacted by disaster.”

According to the Biden-Harris administration, natural disasters don't have the same impact on white straight men. Image
/12 In summary, the Biden-Harris FEMA views disaster response as an opportunity to propel their radical "equity" agenda and further resettle and support millions of illegal aliens within the U.S.

The American people are paying for all of it. Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just filed a new lawsuit against HHS and CMS to expose the architects behind a Biden-era organ transplant policy that financially rewards higher transplant volume and prioritizes race in transplant decisions. Image
/2 Last week, AFL filed a lawsuit to determine who within the Biden Administration was behind its race-based organ transplant policy.

This new lawsuit seeks to uncover the outside influencers who shaped the program, and why.
/3 The lawsuit targets the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for failing to produce records tied to a federal transplant program that rewards hospitals for increasing kidney transplant volume and embeds race into the process.

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL DEFEATED Maricopa County’s attempt to hijack County Recorder Justin Heap’s election integrity lawsuit and block us from representing him.

An Arizona court fully rejected the blatant power grab.

Our lawsuit against Maricopa County will now proceed. Image
/2 After Recorder Heap chose AFL to represent him in a lawsuit against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell filed another lawsuit against him, claiming that she had the right to select his attorney, and she did not want AFL to represent him.
/3 In its ruling, the Maricopa County Superior Court held that Arizona law does not give the county attorney authority to control a county officer’s legal representation.

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL has BROKEN Nashville’s years-long stonewalling over the Covenant School shooter’s “manifesto.”

A Tennessee appeals court REJECTED Nashville’s attempt to withhold records related to the shooting and keep the public in the dark. Image
/2 The ruling from the Court of Appeals of Tennessee at Nashville reverses most of a lower court decision that allowed the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (Metro) to withhold the shooter’s “manifesto” in full.
/3 The court’s ruling made clear that government agencies cannot rely on sweeping legal theories to justify total secrecy, and must instead conduct a record-by-record review, redacting only what is lawfully protected and releasing the rest under Tennessee’s Public Records Act.
