You Can Blame #thebillionaires For The #lafires & Every Confliction In This Country, Due To Their Insatiable Greed, Their Ignorance & Their Inaction To Limit The Effects Of #globalwarming & #climatechange Gawking At Natural Disasters Won't Save Anything. The 1% Needs To Step Up, But I Doubt They Will.

Three little words that are music to my ears:
Forward progress stopped.

It seems that even the rich and famous (you know, the folks that take their private jet when you and me would take the train or bus) are not safe from this #climatecrisis.

I hope they are poorly insured, all their vacation homes are undergoing renovations and most of all that this will be a wake up call for them to truly set the example.

The lies about the #LAFires are sinisterly amplified by Trump, Musk on X, other Republicans... Their intent is to blame Gov Gavin & Dem leaders by sharing falsehoods about regs., policies, to deny CC, & set up Trump to defund FEMA, remove live-saving regs., & punish blue states' leaders.

Millions of ppl in LA fear for their livelihoods, lives, & futures, & some have lost everything, as the death toll & injuries increase.

One big lie: LA Mayor Bass cut the LA Fire Dept's budget by $23M.

Blaming the #LAfires on the state water system (and evil libs) ignores the fact that there is NO stopping 100 mph winds.

It’s like saying you can stop a hurricane with a wall.

Or plug a volcano so it doesn’t blow.

This seems like a good day to repost these.

Trump's vile rants about the #LAFires remind us that the MAGA project degrades public life & denies our common humanity at every opp.

He metastasize disasters -constantly seeking ways to be in the HLs, #media favors this outrage & negative emotion +RW media ecosystem takes that revved up let’s-make-everybody-angry dynamic & applies it directly to electoral politics -makes everyone feel worse than they already felt. Musk is fanning the flames of hate around the CA.

Important context if you find yourself debating morons or knee-bending media people about the true cause of the #LAFires.

Spoiler: it’s #ClimateChange.

I won't quote the original poster, because it isn't a remark directed to her (and she's suffering). It made me think about our collective lack of sympathy for people living in Gaza. Gazans should have rented more houses to western people. 😑

The fires in California are apocalyptic. There’s going to be a lot of people and animals that need help. This local nbc channel has a list of organizations including local community aid and firefighter relief.
