I hope California never forgets that Republicans used these devastating fires that have killed so many people as fuel for their racism and culture war. They gave cruelty and lies and hate.

L.A.’s wildfires have leaders fighting on two fronts: Nature and politics
As weather forecasts predict the resumption of dangerous winds this week, the governor, L.A. mayor and others find California under attack from Trump, conservatives and advisers.

We're trapped in a game of Monopoly where oligarchs own all the property and the rest of us are simply making our way around the board trying to avoid financial ruin.
They've also bought the bank and the government, so they can change the rules to their liking.
It's game over or time for a reset.

Drop the appeal to reinstate the indictments for Nauta and De Oliveira. The Trump DOJ will do it anyway.
Release both volumes of the Special Counsel report.

As people around the Palisades and Eaton fires whose houses survived the blaze wait to return home, many dread a secondary threat: looting. Officials announced 22 arrests in the two evacuation zones as of Saturday morning, most of them for burglary or looting, and enacted a curfew.
Amid Evacuations for the L.A. Fires, Fears of Looting Take Hold
Residents barred from returning to their neighborhoods face a secondary threat, and the city, with painful collective memories of looting, is on guard.

When Minnesotans face a medical emergency, they should expect that help will come – whether they live in Minneapolis or on the Iron Range.
We just directed $24 million to EMS providers across Greater Minnesota, so that there will always be someone to answer a call for help.

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

From windows in my father’s house
Dreaming my dreams on winter nights
I watched Orion as a girl
Above another city’s lights.
Years go, dreams go, and youth goes too,
The world’s heart breaks beneath its wars;
All things are changed, save in the east
The faithful beauty of the stars.
