I hope that everyone impacted by the truly horrific wildfires in Los Angeles remain safe. It’s almost impossible to fully comprehend the devastation caused by these fires — the worst in LA history — and my heart goes out to all of you. 💔

It's heart wrenching & scary. It will take time to heal from this. I'm so glad we have a democratic governor, courageous fire fighters & decent communities. I can't even imagine being submitted to donaldfuck madness in such circumstances. I'm more afraid of that than the fires! He's more dangerous!
Thank you. A friend and I were just sharing that we are alternatively sad, relieved, concerned, shocked, happy, and heartbroken. This is the worst we have ever seen but also best because of the outpouring of love and support.
Thank you Jon (and another one) for sharing your positive words. Things seem to only get worse, you might need to ban me as I attract flies, truckers, and hijos de pulpa. I've been praying, but I needed sleep, I'm back now:
From what I understand, LA County Fire Dept provides for the entire county including LA City and she is the most influential political figure for the counties fire protection.
That is why she was interviewed and grilled on the response and lack of water pressure and manpower.
And of course the gopq scum have no concerns for everyone affected. They just want to blame people who care about our country more than they do. Pathetic.
Maybe we will finally accept climate change is real & take the necessary steps to combat it. Unlikely under trump whose MO is drill baby drill. America, you have made some seriously big mistakes. It will be our downfall.
I keep thinking of the things that cannot be fixed or replaced - mostly photographs, keepsakes - heartbreaking - the loss of EVERYTHING is terrible beyond imagining but those lifelines, those photos and memories and special small items.....I'm so sorry
Thanks to Canada and Mexico for your help & placing your lives in peril after the awful threats made by NOT our president mentally ill tRUMP. Prayers for your safety, prayers for our LA citizens, first responders, firefighters, pets & wildlife. Prayers for all the people & animals lost. 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🇨🇦 💔 🙏
Last month I watched a favorite Christmas movie, The Holiday. The gals trade houses, one going to Sussex; the other joyfully going to LA. I'm glad I watched it once more, because now, seeing what's happened to LA, I don't think I'll ever be able to bear watching it again.
Just so everyone is aware. Children were left behind in Camp Kilpatrick. All bc they were incarcerated. CHILDREN were left behind in the path of the fires, bc somehow they deemed their lives less worthy.... Please remember that...
Love is in the heart
Strength is in the hand
Hope in the spirit
will return again
Never to give up
always go back to the land
There will be a good morning to start again

I remember when I was briefly in California how much wildlife there was given how densely populated it was & with all the traffic. I cannot fathom how many animals & people died.
We need to tell all those rich Democratic donors to stop flying private jets. They come to Aspen in their private jets and meet about climate, that's hypocrisy at "almost" the same level as the Republicans.
Those of us in Canada that watched Fort Mac burn in 2021 can relate.. unfortunately.I visited the city while working for Stats Canada afterwards. what I saw will live with me forever
Me too on both counts. I don’t think it hurts to keep hope in your heart that people stay safe, or let them know you’re keeping them in your thoughts. Sometimes knowing some one out there is rooting for you can make a difference.
Just gonna say say that prayers don’t work for shootings or climate emergencies… or anything else for that matter. You wanna help those people, join your local service groups.
I remember the Bel Air Fire in 1961, which (I believe) was the worst before now. The Santa Monica Mountains are connected and sadly ripe for this kind of disaster. So much more could go up in flams. Beyond tragic.
It's heartbreaking to see the impact of the wildfires in Los Angeles. The devastation caused by these fires is truly unimaginable. My thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy. 🙏
I prayed and backed it up with a donation. Everyone can pray, send good vibes, and back it up with a donation. I’ve been checking in on people in LA I am aware of. I may be wrong, but this one will likely go in the record books.
You’re not wrong. My son and his fiancée escaped yesterday before the evacuation came down. They’re here with me in Santa Barbara (possible destination of fires).
I’m glad they are safe. My brother-in-law, sister-in-law, daughter, and dog stayed with us during Hurricane Helena. It went right over them but had minimal damage compared to the beach areas. It’s a blessing to have family to be there for you.
Australia was devastatingly burnt to the sea in 2019. Also in 2019, the Arctic defrosted and burnt in Siberia, Greenland and Alaska.

You know your skills, strengths, passions. You can use them because they are probably going to let you act within your "sphere of influence." And that is all you can do. Thank you. I wish you well .
Prayers are genuinely useless. If people want to help there are groups they can donate money. Or when a politician raises taxes to support services, maybe don't vote them out.
Dear Dark Lord Satan,
Please help us humans fight back against the fires of a vengeful and malevolent God hellbent on destroying us with His plagues and climate catastrophes. In Baphomet's name, ramen.

Mayor Bass botched this and there is no other explanation.
That is why she was interviewed and grilled on the response and lack of water pressure and manpower.
The water pressure issue was because they were using like 1 mill gallons per hour and the reservoirs weren't refilling at the same speed.
Again, I'm not a fan but I can't add this to the list.

There still are some good hearted people in this world and it's such a relief to be able to recognize that.
Thank you, Dude, you've given me a lot of hope.

Pretty isn't it.
I just hope a sea turtle doesn't choke on it.
Fuck your T’s and P’s.

Do you want to keep living here? Do you want your kids to keep living here?
What can I do right now to help - ideas? I do what I can think of but there's more I'm sure
Hate to shake your faith, but no spells, incantations, magical thinking nor Jesus is making these weather events get any milder or less frequent.
How about we use critical thinking and use scientific solutions instead?
