It’s a real damn shame the US’s “help” to Mexico right now is focused on the safety of “US citizens” when Mexico’s actual literal military offered to help the US after Katrina and they showed up in force for us. a true shame indeed

“Barbara, a bartender at the Kajun's Pub, lies on a pool table during a party in New Orleans, Louisiana. They didn't stop serving when Hurricane Katrina trashed New Orleans, and they defied looters by turning their bar into a fortress, with a shotgun-wielding transvestite as sentry at the door. But regulars at the Kajun Pub regretfully drank a final toast to their life in the ‘Big Easy’ and bowed to authorities' demands that they turn their backs on their stinking, wounded city.”

05 September 2005.

The Link between Hurricane Katrina and Anti-LGBTQ Rhetoric | Dame Magazine
for the last 17 years, I have kept a list. It is a list of pastors and preachers and spokespeople for religious organizations who blamed Hurricane Katrina on the “sin” in New Orleans. Those that said the city deserved it. Purveyors of the notion that the hurricane was God’s judgment on the city, that the dead had it coming, that America had it coming, that, especially, the LGBTQIA+ community was and is such a moral abomination that God smote the city to punish it for supporting them. That Southern Decadence, one of the largest celebrations of the gay community in the Crescent City, that opened my eyes to how much bigger and brighter and more beautiful the world could be outside of my small Missouri hometown, was why the city had to be destroyed. The idea that my gay, bisexual, and transgender friends, all of whom were scattered and hurting in the aftermath, were why New Orleans was drowned by their God.
Pat Robertson. Franklin Graham. John Hagee. Rick Joyner. Bill Shanks. Jennifer Giroux. Gerhard Wagner. John McTernan. Hal Lindsey. Charles Colson. Michael Marcavage. Rick Scarborough. Fred Phelps. A droplet of names out of a sea of hate. Anti-LGBTQIA+ violence has always been a bedrock of Christian nationalists, and that the renewed fervor of it, combined with the ignoring of natural disasters and pandemics—or blaming them on LGBTQIA+ communities, as is happening with monkeypox—is not new, it is what the Christian right in this country does. And as much as we like to think things have changed, that list? Those people? They are still at it.
Fourteen days after the levees broke, Pat Robertson got on The 700 Club and blamed both terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina on abortion, while discussing Supreme Court nominee John Roberts

Six Flags, New Orleans. Abandoned since Katrina. I was immediately asked to leave by security after taking this.

Déjà Vu (2006) Directed by Tony Scott Cinematography by Paul Cameron
Watched this again for the first time in about 15 years.
Even though the technology doesn't really make sense, Tony Scott did a good job of getting you to believe it in the moment and continue on with the rollercoaster. He was very good at that (see: Crimson Tide).

Apparently there's going to be an Apple TV+ (which I don't have) series on what went down at Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina, where medical staff–most notably Dr. Anna Pou, who went on to write legislation that would protect doctors like her–murdered disabled patients "for the greater good". Which is something I wish was talked about more.

Government Response to Hurricane Katrina
Tumblr media
Today marks the 18th year since Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana.
Not only did Americans have to suffer the tragedy of the storm, they also had to suffer the tragedy of an incompetent government’s response to it.
