If I were to write a headline of last night’s wildfires, I would write: “Los Angeles Burns in Corporate-Backed Climate Offensive” or “Los Angeles Engulfed by Fires in Ongoing Climate Conflict Waged by the Ultra-Rich.”

But I would go further, as the people in charge are just the wielders of power in a system that incentivizes them. If it wasn’t them, it would be someone else. Because the economic, political, and cultural system we are part of—not just in America but the world over— is based around exploitation. Its roots go deep, based in slavery, authoritarianism, and genocide.

They Did This to Us

Homes are burning. Lives are destroyed. This isn't the weather. And it didn't just happen. It was done by people and it was done on purpose.

"Both the loss and uncertainty surrounding wildfires are traumatic, Jeff Katzman, a Connecticut-based psychiatrist who grew up in Pacific Palisades, California, told Axios.

'There is the lingering, not knowing status of what happened,' he said. 'There's the experience of loss of an entire community that has generations of meaning.'"

The death toll in L.A. is up to 24. Fewer than half of them have been identified. The winds aggravating the fires are expected to get worse.

We can safely assume that the oil barons and similar who have profited immensely from the ecological violence that caused this catastrophe will not be found among the casualties.

Anyone else working on a comprehensive home inventory in the wake of these fires? I have one but it's time to get it updated.
I use #HomeZada which is a fantastic, free home inventory software but I also have an excel spreadsheet. HZ allows you to take photos of things right in the app and add details. #homeinventory

Given the way people get rid of stuff and constantly buy new stuff, it can be hard to stay on top of but it's worth it if you ever have to file a claim. #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...

"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

#ClimateCrisis #Capitalism #ShockDoctrine

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.

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.
