🧵 I live in Los Angeles. We have not had to evacuate and are safe, but like many people here, I have friends who have lost everything. I realize I can't combat the firehose (see what I did there?) of bullshit spewing about this disaster from internet and media sources, but I'll say this:

A phone picture looking at an apartment building with a few palm trees in front of it, near dusk. The sky is still blue, but looming behind the building in the distance is an enormous cloud of smoke from the Palisades Fire near Los Angeles. The smoke is stained orange from the sun behind it.

Last night, I sat next to a man who desperately wanted attention. How did he try to get that attention? By claiming the reason for the wildfires in LA is that California firefighters aren’t white enough.
