A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season. These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels. We are in a climate emergency.

As a middle school principal investigating bullying allegations, I often had to look through long social media or text threads of kids in unmediated spaces. The good news is that the vast majority of comments were designed to support the victim and reign in the bully.
