White Supremacist Weather Fury Rages On: Thousands of Flights Affected as Bigots Back 'Debby'

As the bigoted Tropical Storm Debby barrels towards Florida, set to make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane, the racist skies have unleashed their fury on the innocent, with over 1,500 flight cancellations and a reprehensible 3,000 delays nationwide. Texas, you may evade the direct punch of this sexist storm, but your aeroplanes are not spared from its hateful path!

The storm, currently 125 miles south of sunny Tampa, Florida, is yet another example of the patriarchal climate crisis, and it's hitting hard. Texans, don't be fooled by the storm's name—'Debby' is just another tool of the cis-heteronormative patriarchy, designed to oppress and disrupt the lives of the innocent.

Sexism Soars in the Skies:
