Looting: "criminal"
Price gouging: "an issue"

And the DA invokes whatever mental picture you currently have of this mythical figure, "the criminal". Gee, I wonder what such a person looks like in the popular American imagination. 🤔 This is literally how systemic racism is produced. By design.

"Nearly three dozen people accused of looting have been arrested for taking things from damaged homes and businesses, authorities said.

"We're starting to see the criminal emerge," Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said at a news conference Monday.

Price gouging has become an issue with hotels, short-term rentals and medical supplies. Scammers are also soliciting donations for bogus relief efforts, authorities said."

#Landlords gouge victims of #LAFires

by Judd Legum and Noel Sims, Jan 14, 2025

"The devastating fires in Los Angeles have killed 24 people. The fires have burned tens of thousands of acres, and hundreds of thousands of #Angelenos have been forced to evacuate. The blaze has destroyed at least 12,000 structures and thousands of people have nowhere to live.

"For most people, this is a horrific tragedy. But numerous landlords in the area are treating it as a #MoneyMaking opportunity.

"A review of rental listings revealed dozens of properties where the landlords have sharply increased their prices since the fires began on January 7. Popular Information used Zillow to identify rental homes in communities near the areas impacted by the fires — including #PacificPalisades, #SantaMonica, #ManhattanBeach, #HuntingtonBeach, and the #SanFernandoValley — that have increased their asking price over the last week.

"While not every rent increase is evidence of #exploitation, the timing and scale of many increases strongly suggest #PriceGouging is occurring.

"In Manhattan Beach, for example, Popular Information identified a five-bedroom home listed on December 31, 2024, for $8,750 per month. By Monday, the rent was bumped up 125 percent to $19,750 monthly.

"But it is not only luxury properties with ocean views whose prices have skyrocketed in the last week.

"A three-bedroom home in #Tujunga, listed for $4,100 on December 28, was increased to $8,500 on January 7, the day the Pacific Palisades fire broke out, 93 percent higher than its initial listing price."

A large portion of the #JimmyKimmel show was about the #LAfires.
A section was about feeding the new homeless people.
They are given 2 or more meals with meat/cheese/eggs a day.
Those are all major contributors to #ClimateChange.
Is Jimmy Kimmel irony impaired?


A really heartfelt episode as Jimmy Kimmel Live returns after having to evacuate due to the fires. Instead of the usual political satire though, the monolouge is dedicated to showing all the people helping out in any way they can.

It really shows the spirit of people coming together, even when politics refuse help. Jimmy chokes up as he describes having to run from the fires

The article👇🏼is a autobiographical look at the #lafires but w/o much research on the inmate crews unfortunately; it's not true that inmates who join the fire camp are coerced. It is an entirely volunteer position and one has to qualify for it, good behavior and all that. They are trained to clear brush and other kindling 🪓🪚. I'm an abolitionist so I don't love any of this but there's literally zero reason to post these men up as enslaved.

This is false reporting.

So a billionaire donated $10 million.
Nobel prize okay?

What is this obsession with these loaded pop singers?

Besides, Amazon is donating 10 million too. Again, not heading praise; fact checking.

#TaylorSwift
#Billionaires
#Trump
#LAFires
Donation of different companies to Trump. 
Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, uber, Meta all gave a million dollars to Trump and nothing to la fires. Taylor Swift gave 0 to Trump and 10 million to la fires.


Been watching #NFLPlayoffs & every #MomentOfSilence for #LAFires feels REALLY cynical. If you can't mention #ClimateChange because it's too controversial you might as well just bleat out #ThoughtsAndPrayers at another #MassShooting. It's mass cowardice & will only result in MORE & BIGGER FIRES.

I'll get pushback but the connection between stuff like this & #ThoughtsAndPrayers will become undeniable.
LA on fire at night


"In last November’s election, a majority of #California voters declined to outlaw forced labour among incarcerated people, who make up around 30 per cent of California’s firefighters and are paid between $5.80 and $10.24 per day. At least eight hundred of them are now up against #LA’s infernos. What the state will not pay to provide it will extract through coercion." - Anahid Nersessian
