While the right obsesses over imaginary water declarations and DEI initiatives, actual solutions get pushed aside. That’s not an accident: It’s the point.

The oligarchs built this machine to drown out every dissenting voice.

I think we can start referring to some of the fires as urban fires and not wildfires.

thesnowkeeper.bsky.social•111 days ago

I think people forget that forest fires are a very natural thing. We can try preventing them all we want but when the world wants to burn itself, all we can do is watch.

Climate change makes any such and similar problems more frequent and greater in intensity.
Those are the facts.

krisjmarino.bsky.social•111 days ago

As always, the far right never has solutions. It only exists to cause more problems.

chrisaguirre.bsky.social•111 days ago

While in an Uber two days ago I heard an insipid local morning radio host earnestly tell the two credulous women cohosts that the fires could have been prevented by raking the forest floor but that they aren’t because it’s “political”.

When I was a driver, I just played 80s pop hits.

chrisaguirre.bsky.social•111 days ago

This was the morning show on a Top 40 station.

Wtf is wrong with people? Folks can't just talk about sports or weather anymore? Now the local DJs have to be pilled. Ffs.

chrisaguirre.bsky.social•111 days ago

The problem is that the weather and climate have been politicized.

And biology. And chemistry. And the truth.

Chaos makes the rich more $$. 3-5 days after disaster strikes the truth gets told.

Hold your tongue and quit jumping to conclusions. Those disrupter bots want the regular folk to fail. Don’t buy the hype.

Clearly then the states hit with tornado's, flooding and Hurricane's must totally be caused by DEI!

Lie lie lie is all maga do I can’t stand living amongst these awful people .

susans0715.bsky.social•111 days ago

Just as they did in WNC. They are evil and could care less about the victims of a natural disaster.

dominiondem.bsky.social•111 days ago

Republican policies are pouring gasoline on a fire then complaining the fire is hot & spreading.

The LA fires is just the micro-tip of a HUGE dangerous/destructive/expensive future for humanity. Little about his huge issue was discussed during elections. America voted for the arsonist!

Capitalism has always been about death pretending to be about sex.

Thank you. Much of the media is complicit by not calling it out. trump and the cult have bullied too many into submission.

mommytlc.bsky.social•111 days ago

They sure have and it's sickening to watch.

The GOP should not be in Congress. Period.

manfromrio.bsky.social•109 days ago

They are floating the idea of martial law. To neutralize State government

spinika17.bsky.social•111 days ago

Thank you for sharing! Please keep holding people accountable for their lies.

algarvesky.bsky.social•111 days ago

Can’t have a horrific natural disaster without senseless conspiracy. So unfortunate. Get ready for four years of dumbfuckery.

oma-trisha-f.bsky.social•111 days ago

Or more.

Republicans have no intention of ever surrendering power again. How long will it take for people to get to the point where those with money and power say enough is enough? The poor are too damn busy trying to survive to do much else -- and that's intentional.

Excellent: “This is the playbook we’re going to see for every climate disaster going forward. Rather than acknowledge the role of climate change, rather than have honest discussions about infrastructure and emergency preparedness, the right will search for ways to blame their cultural grievances.”
