"The wildfires present a critical moment for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to demonstrate their commitment to protecting youth, particularly those involved in the justice system," says Emilio Zapién, Director of Media & Communications at Youth Justice Coalition LA.

Endangerment of youth during a natural disaster is morally despicable.

"The Los Angeles fires are not merely a natural disaster; they are a devastating indictment of capitalism’s inability to address the needs of humanity. They underscore the urgent necessity of building a movement of the working class, independent of both the Democratic and Republican parties, to fight for socialism."

After narrowly surviving being in path of one of the recent #LAfires , LA's #MagicCastle home of the exclusive Academy of Magical Arts has become a donation drop-off and pickup center for fire relief.

The donation event came only days after the historic #landmark site was forced to close its doors and evacuate as a fire spread across the iconic #HollywoodHills, right behind the venue, in #RunyonCanyon.

#LAfires

Seeing reports that cops at barricades around fire evacuarion zones are telling people that if they leave for food rhey cannot return and are now blocking deliveries of all food except sime snacks and trail mix they are providing.

This is on top of a curfew and can be considered imposirion of a siege to attempt to starve out holdoutd. Not even DeSantis resorted to that after this year's brutal hurricanes.

This combined wirh the fires themselves is like something the IOF would do.


Devastating Wildfires in LA: 19,300 Emergency Responses Logged


Message from WPS News

Baybay City | January 13, 2025

In the face of the devastating fires sweeping through Los Angeles, our hearts go out to all those affected by this tragedy. The flames have cast a shadow over countless lives, and we extend our deepest condolences to the families and communities enduring unfathomable loss.

Update


The latest update on the LA fires reveals an alarming situation. Emergency responders have engaged in a remarkable 19,300 emergency responses, highlighting the severity and urgency of the ongoing crisis. With 105 active wildfires consuming nearly 40,300 acres of land, the impact on the region is profound. We are deeply saddened to report at least 13 preliminary fatalities, a number which awaits confirmation from the coroner’s office. Furthermore, the destruction of more than 12,300 structures affects not just homes but the very fabric of community life.

Evacuation orders are enforced due to immediate threats to life, and authorities strongly urge residents to evacuate without delay. While some progress has been made by our resilient firefighting crews, challenges persist, heightened by looming windy and dry conditions that threaten to hinder containment efforts.

We stand in solidarity with the brave firefighting teams and urge everyone in the affected areas to comply with safety directives, ensuring the well-being of all involved. Together, through cooperation and support, we can move through this crisis towards recovery and healing.

Did you know that exposure to wildfire smoke can trigger heart attacks even after the fire is contained?

Everyone affected by the #LAfires should remember the warning signs of heart attacks. Take care of each other out there


I am following the #laFires very closely and I am sure that the majority of people there are not finding out about what is happening via serious media but via social media, which have recently given up the fight against disinformation in favor of future President Trump. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-01-10/debunking-social-media-fire-myths-no-the-hollywood-sign-didnt-burn

Nuccio’s Nurseries is a small family owned business that’s been propagating camellias and azaleas for 90 years.

The two brothers who own Nuccio’s are in their 70’s. Every person ever interviewed comments on their kindness and generosity.

This priceless collection of plants came through the Eaton fire mostly unscathed, but are in desperate need of water.

When asked why they donate rare camellias to auctions in the Bay Area and San Diego that benefit children with cancer, “We haven’t made money in 90 years so why start now?”

#LAfires #Slavery #enforcedlabor There have been a number of posts on Mastodon claiming that California's use of prisoners to help fight fires is slavery. Here's another perspective (from BlueSky) on what it's actually like to participate:

Comedian and commentator Francesca Fiorentini breaks down why the coalition that makes #MAGA’s skin crawl represents the best of us.

She argues, “They’re modeling solidarity. And if we’re going to have a shot at surviving the climate chaos that the 1% has created, we’re gonna need a whole lot more of it.”

#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."
