From a friend of a friend who's been helping disaster victims in LA.

oh and DO NOT SEND YOUR MONEY TO THE RED CROSS!!

#lafires #losangeles #mutualaid
Just FYI: Groups in LA (every single one I've heard from) are completely overwhelmed with stuff — snacks, water, hygiene products, blankets, diapers, you name it. It's taking up so much time to try and sort and store. Send money. Just money. The stuff is here. The stuff will be sorted and distributed. But they don’t need more stuff. Send money. Period.

#LAFires: since MSM isn't making the connection clear, here's NOAA's explainer on how #ClimateChange is fueling wildfires (though they focus on California, it applies as underlying cause for the increased frequency and force/extent of wildfires around the globe)

https://www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfire/wildfire-climate-connection

Wildfire climate connection

Climate change, including increased heat, extended drought, and a thirsty atmosphere, has been a key driver in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires in the western United States during the last two decades.

Enslaved government captives are firefighting for $10 per *day*. And being made to work *24-hour shifts*. The ban on enslavement of CA prisoners on November's ballot failed spectactlularly. Californians chose this.

"Along with crews from other states and Mexico, hundreds of inmates from California’s prison system were also helping firefighting efforts. Nearly 950 incarcerated firefighters were dispatched “to cut fire lines and remove fuel to slow fire spread,” according to an update from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Though the state has long relied on prison labor to fight fires, the practice is controversial as the inmates are paid little for dangerous and difficult work. Inmates are paid up to roughly $10.24 each day, with additional money for 24-hour shifts, according to the corrections department."

People in photos, including children, sifting through ash, bare handed and unmasked, is alarming. Please, if you know someone who lost a house, remind them that the ash and air are toxic.

Please wear work gloves, masks and goggles. Limit your time on site. Clean thoroughly anything you recover. Don't bring children with you. Don't bring ash-covered clothing inside.

Many nasty chemicals are released when non organic material burns.

Don't lose your health after losing your home.

Deadly L.A. wildfires have consumed an area larger than San Francisco and strong winds are forecast to worsen conditions as the fires continue to blaze across California. Here's a deep-dive we've put together on what's happening, how to help victims, the health risks they face and who or what's to blame for the devastation.

Wearing a mask keeps you, and others, healthier.

#LAfires #masks #covid #health
Screenshot of posts by Becca Roth @beccaroth.bsky.social: LA people, if you're masking outside for the air, please keep them on when you enter indoor public places. Covid is still circulating and hospitals are overwhelmed and we need to protect ourselves as much as possible right now. It's all connected. Stay safe. I love you all. Becca Roth @beccaroth.bsky.social: It may seem like it's "not the time" for Covid talk, but Covid never left and if you're wearing a mask anyway, you might as well keep it on to protect yourself and each other as much as possible. We are more vulnerable than ever. Air is shared. Let's take care of each other [heart emoji]

How helpful @TheHill 🤣

Lets start with #FEMA Toxic Trailers... or How about: "Mr. Brown doesn't like being disturbed while he's eating." (Quoting FEMA boss's staff during Katrina)? Their uselessness is apparent. FEMA has MORE ARMED STAFF than 'helpers' and that ARMY participated in the #GENTRIFICATION of #NewOrleans after #HurricaneKatrina. The people in the southern US have it right. Hunt FEMA 'workers' like they used to hunt Revenuers, and depend on your neighbors and community. #LAFires

The rest of the 2000s will be a war on two fronts, without thoughtful redirection. Individual nation states will clamor over arable land and potable water, while all of humanity is set against an increasingly hostile environment.

The international cooperation you're seeing during the #LAFires must be the norm, or we will simply not survive the century.

Zuckerberg's new "masculine energy" "freedom of expression" policy seems to be doing a helluva lot of censoring right now. It's not just links to Pixelfed. It's also resources clearing up disinformation on the LA fires. #auspol #LAFires #FreeSpeech #Politics #Cdnsorship #Zuckerberg #Facebook
