U.S. California Republicans in Congress fled to Mar-a-Lago in Florida as Los Angeles continued to burn. They attended parties with Trump while people tried to save their homes. This is what rule under oligarchy looks like. #LAfires

It's almost been a week since the California wildfires began and the largest blazes, Palisades and Eaton, are still mostly uncontained. CNN asks how long these blazes could continue to burn for and what firefighters need to get the upper hand.

Much of LA is an actual hellscape. But many politicians, from Trump down, are showing zero sympathy, insisting that CA — somehow brought this disaster on itself by being too liberal, woke... This lack of sympathy may translate into refusal to provide adequate disaster aid.

I doubt that FL will get the same treatment when (not if) it has its next big natural disaster.

CA paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83B in total...

They want to use the fires to raise the debt ceiling, WHILE they deny fire aid to California!

GOP Ghouls Seize On LA Fires To Raise Debt Ceiling

Politico: “A group of House Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump talked about tying wildfire aid to a debt ceiling increase Sunday night, as the fires spreading across huge swaths of Los Angeles are estimated to become one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.”

"The loss of more than 90 per cent of #SouthernCalifornia’s agricultural buffer zone is the principal if seldom mentioned reason #wildfires increasingly incinerate such spectacular swathes of luxury real estate. [...] what makes us most vulnerable is the abruptness of what is called the ‘wildland-urban interface’, where real estate collides with #FireEcology." - #MikeDavis

@nrc_nl reports that property developer vultures have already descended upon Altadena to buy burned up property cheap.

One wonders whether the rich people, who they want to sell expensive new houses to, watch the news about, you know, increasing wildfires

In deze wijk verzwolg het vuur ook de droom van een betaalbare woning in Los Angeles

Branden Los Angeles: Altadena is al generaties een zeldzame enclave voor de middenklasse van Los Angeles. Nu hun wijk in de as is gelegd, vrezen de bewoners dat projectontwikkelaars de grond opkopen.

Some would recall the President-Elect’s eloquent words of comfort to the 2018 #ParklandSchoolShooting victims when he said that he would “run in there even if I didn't have a weapon” to take down the #ActiveShooter and save the day.

Today the #PresidentElect wrote that #California “incompetent pols have no idea how to put” the #LAFires out, that “[t]hey just can’t put out the fires. What’s wrong with them?” He didn’t mention #FirstResponders. He gave no words of comfort to those are suffering through this catastrophe.

But I can’t wait for #Jan21 because – like the ending of the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts and #MakingEggsCheaper – #President #Trump will get the #CaliforniaFires out on #DayOne of his #NewAdministration! Let him run in there amongst the flames in his #InagurationDay super-suit and quench the #wildfires with his famous #BigWater !

(See the award-winning photograph of the once-and-future president travelling incognito in northern California looking for the special #VeryLargeFaucet – that only he knows how to operate: for only he can save #LA – below:)

The #CorridorCrew guys give an overview of the L.A. fires, which are of course happening right where they live and work. It provides good reference, especially for those of us who don't know the geography very well - but more importantly, watch it because the ad revenue goes towards aid & support for those affected.

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.
