When we live in a society that no longer prioritizes verifiable facts and the actual truth over rumors, fear mongering, and outright lies, we no longer live in a functioning society.
I’ve been tapped out of the news and most of social media for a while, so I was unaware of the idiocy firing around the Internet around Hurricane Helene recovery efforts.

FEMA has created some webpages addressing these lies, rumors, and other disinformation. FEMA is trying to do good things.
It’s a shame the MAGA crowd is trying to countermand their efforts with their disinformation campaign.
