Padilla: By the time the water was released, the fires were already contained. There was no way that water could even make its way to Southern California.
When the hot, dry months come and farmers need that water for irrigation, it’ll be gone. And you can’t get it back.

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law?
To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.
