Find cause of the fire. But CA is chaparral & it will burn in a drought. With 80+ mph winds not much can be done. I lost my home in a CA wildfire with a GOP Governor and President. Stop making political hay over this

A need for personal growth is to have the ability to go beyond our local culture, which has influenced unrealized understandings. An outside perspective is needed, at times, in order to reassess. I found the following by journalist Nate White to be helpful.

When I interviewed mutual aid volunteers in Asheville, they had one recurring plea: Don’t forget about us when the news cycle moves on. I recently caught up with one of those organizers who shared some important updates and lessons learned. This is a good time to learn from collective survival work.
The Power of the People Heals
“There's a lot to be said about faith and trust in who we are as people and who we are as humanity,” says organizer Sarah Nuñez.

🚨 Heads-up, my latest reporting at @motherjones.com: national security and law enforcement sources told me that the Jan. 6 pardons Trump vows to carry out are part of broader effort to “erase”
the insurrection—and likely will embolden violent far-right extremists www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Setting aside my trying to absorb then resist our Country’s blatant shift from a nation of the people to a nation of the oligarchs, I need a mental retreat. I’d like to share my current place with you.

Anyone thinking about his concepts of a plan, realized that he was selfishly pandering to the uninformed.

Dear Ms Bondi. I received a parking ticket in 1988, for returning to my vehicle 10-minutes late. Please reverse the record of my illegal transgression, so that the citizens of our great country will now think that I’ve done nothing wrong.

“Investors”. Did you ever wonder why the incoming administration would ‘invest’ in such an idea? Take time to realize that grifters seize on every opportunity.

Perhaps the non-violent examples of Dr King and Gandhi are the better way to temper the violence, by acting through reason and understanding, rather than responding with violent words, which merely feeds the beast.
Violent language invites violence.

Such language changes brains and can result in real consequences.

And no one has done more to inject violent language into our politics than Donald Trump.

The depth of the insanity continues. Who are we as a nation, and how can this type of disrespect even be acceptable to so many?

The Republican nominee’s preoccupation with dictators, and his disdain for the American military, is deepening.
