🧵 You know all the anti-trans rhetoric over recent years? Do you want to guess some of the types of people who Nazi Germany targeted first? Which buildings they raided, which books were burned? We warned you. We knew this was going to happen. The writing has been on the wall for years.

Defending #lafire affected Californians and combating misinformation about FEMA while calling the people of #WNC rednecks derogatorily is not the hot take you think it is #disasterisnotacompetition

Did leadership create 100 mph winds and a drought? Talk about the lack of leadership ahead in the next four years. If he visits LA, he will be tossing rakes at the residents.

Watching before and after videos of the area you grew up in affected by #lafires sure hits different when you watched the same thing happen to your town a few months prior thanks to #helene

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

Some Liberal™️ friends are now saying “the question of ‘are you a felon’ should never be on a job application ever again” and uh at least they finally arrived to that conclusion I guess 🥴

Don't forget they can't get firefighting jobs after release because of their criminal records.
A reminder that California uses prison labor to fight fires, and they're paid fuck all to do that. "Prisoners with jobs"

FACT-CHECK: “Fundamentally, it is not correct LADWP refused to properly fill the reservoir needed to fight the fire… At no time during this fire has there been a shortage of water in Southern California.”

Time to share this quick air filter solution for wildfire smoke once again. All you need is a box fan and a home air/furnace filter that you can get at pretty much any hardware store. Optional is some duct tape to get a good seal. Stay safe! #LAFires

Exceedingly impressed with Watch Duty. We need that here in WNC, given our potential heightened fire risk due to Helene-related debris.

I often use Watch Duty as an example of truly needed tech solutions for wildfire. Drones and AI are never going to prevent wildfires or put them out. But communications before, during, and after fire is a massive gap that tech can absolutely help solve.
Pretty amazing that nonprofit Watch Duty -- which says it has 150 volunteers working around the clock to track wildfires -- has become the most trusted source of information on LA fires. Operated by retired/volunteer firefighters, dispatchers, and reporters. Real people.

“Unlike reports of celebrity losses in Malibu, the devastation in Altadena illustrates how wildfires magnify inequalities, leaving poorer neighborhoods, often communities of color, with fewer resources to recover.”
There are families who will never be able to come back from this devastation, and many of them were in generational homes, passed down from people who bought homes in the 1970sand 80's in Altadena. All of the fires are a tragedy, but especially for those who don't have the resources to rebuild.

“It will be a moral failure that as immigrants work to get Southern California back on its feet — cleaning up mountains of debris, erecting wooden beams, installing drywall and wiring electrical systems — they will be doing so under threat of family separation.”
“This wildfire is already among the most destructive in the region’s history. Rebuilding will be a monumental task fraught with uncertainty …

One thing, however, is certain: the rebuilding of Los Angeles will rely heavily on immigrants.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
