I spent two hours yesterday in conversation with Anderson Cooper's team; portions of this conversation will appear in this hour-long CNN special on the Los Angeles wildfire disasters running on Sunday evening. #PalisadesFire #EatonFire #LAfires #CAfire https://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2025/01/10/anderson-cooper-reports-from-southern-california-in-la-burning-for-the-whole-story-with-anderson-cooper/


The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was 10% the size of the current #LAfires 😱


Many of the best humans I have had the honor to know are Mexican.

Mexican fire brigades risking lives to help California. Thank you, MEXICO! Proud of them all 🇲🇽

"Sometimes the people that you hurt the most end up being the people that help save you ♥️🥺-Maria"

The LA Fires are causing widespread destruction. See our latest blog which explores the devastation of these fires. #LAFires #ClimateChange

Many of California’s native ecosystems evolved to burn. Modern fire suppression creates fuels that lead to catastrophic fires. So why do people insist on rebuilding in the firebelt? An excerpt from Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster by Mike Davis.

I read an interesting story from Dropsite that I'm not going to link because it's on Substack. But it was a deeper dive into the LA Fire Dept budgeting over the last few years.

I'll just say that decisions were made that look pretty stupid today in light of the destruction of entire sections of the city.

But what strikes me is the difference between the discussions of fire dept budgets vs police dept budgets.

We have a priorities problem in the USA.

Hey Hollywood! Hey Actors! Hey Producers and Writers!

Exxon just took your stuff and home. Ruined your world, and they're paying rapists to lie about it.

Thats as true as anything ever written. As solid as a rock.

What are you going to do about.

Exxon and the oil cons aren't done burning your world.

What are you going to do about it?

Canada is helping California fight the devastating wildfires! Several provinces AND agencies are providing support. Quebec has sent two of its CL-415 water bombers, pilots & their crews to assist in the firefighting efforts. Ontario and Alberta have announced plans to deploy resources, including water bombers and firefighters as well.

It's heartwarming, THANK YOU, CANADA. 🇨🇦

Southern California's water supplies are well-equipped to support local communities fighting the wildfires. Many of the state’s largest reservoirs are currently at or above their historic average storage levels for this time of year. #LAFires


When fires or other calamities are devastating communities, it seems everybody that is able should be able to volunteer to help. It's understood that the logistics and risks are formidable. #LAFires #LosAngeles #PacificPalisades #Eaton #volunteer


Los Angeles families search through charred ruins for memories as fires continue to burn. @AssociatedPress reports:

Megan Fan Munce: CEO of California’s third-largest home insurer says state will still be insurable after L.A. fires

"The ongoing Los Angeles wildfires are the pinnacle in a series of bad blazes that have plunged the state’s insurance market into a state of deep crisis.

But the CEO and president of the third largest home #insurance company in the state believes that #California, and its wildfires, are still insurable."

What blows my mind is that so many people who have lost everything are still offering to help others in need.
Los Angeles has proven to be a stand up community in the face of extraordinary adversity.
Jamie Lee Curtis has posted these places to help on Threads. We have already donated to the Fire Department and will continue to donate to other relief efforts. If you are able, please help. #lafires #lafires2025 #losangeles

This photo caught me: a Mexican firefighter who has come to #SoCal to help fight American fires rescued an American kitten

So much for Trump's lies about Mexicans

Reporter:" How have the #LAfires affected you?"
Homeless woman: "What fires?"


What governments need to do whenever there's one of these gigantic insurable disasters is distribute money (billions) divided appropriately within the insurance industry so that the burden doesn't create insurance premiums like we're seeing in places like Florida
#LAfires #lafires2025 #pacificPalisades


Victims of the #LAFires: don't let the insurance companies gaslight you. After trump is sworn in, the government will be against you like it was against Puerto Rico during #HurricaneMaria. Get together and make a plan and set sail for #Lenai and take it from trumpist Larry Ellison. No jury in the land will convict you. #VivaLuigi!

The Los Angeles fires have devastated the historically Black neighborhood of Altadena. This was perhaps the first middle-class Black neighborhood in California, as it was a rare area not subject to redlining. Many whose homes were destroyed lived in homes passed down for generations 💔

People with disabilities are so often not considered or only minimally so in almost everything that happens in society.
Natural disasters amplify that.
A terrifying recounting here by a man who fled the fires in his wheelchair on the street, as wheelchair-accessible cars couldn’t get to him and the sidewalks were inaccessible.
Most of us will be disabled at some point in life, even if only temporarily due to an illness or surgery.

new evacuation orders and warnings as the Palisades fire and others expand - winds are light now, good, but expected to pick up tomorrow

fire line getting close to UCLA, basically Ventura Ave is the new fire block line for crews, if you can even imagine that

The Great Fire
Friends,
The following is the best account I’ve read of the fire that’s consuming Los Angeles. It’s from Steve Schmidt’s substack, The Warning. (steveschmidt.substack.com.

“….The scale of the conflagration is biblical. These epochal fires will join Chicago and San Francisco atop an infamous registry of American destruction….”
