if you’re living in LA, and safe, please share footage of what you’re seeing in the comments here. think it would be good to have a single, easy thread to read, to help people understand how bad it is right now

The Pasadena woman refusing to evacuate on @ABC7 breaks my heart SO bad. She’s trying to keep her parents home from burning, because their home insurance canceled their FIRE PROTECTION. Huge shame on these insurance companies.

How living in LA feels

[Hear in LA @hearinladotcom]

Today is a good day to remember, last year LA City Council approved the mayor’s budget to cut $23 million from the LA Fire Dept

as well as cuts to many other departments,

so they could give the LAPD a $138 million increase even though crime has decreased and there’s fewer cops.

2025

1. Amazon Rainforest: still being destroyed

2. Pollution: worse than ever

3. Emissions: higher than ever

4. Scientists: "deadline to keep humanity safe from rapid extinction conditions has been missed"

5. Societies: starting to collapse

None of this is front page news.

The two richest men on the planet dining with the billionaire president as the incoming admin plans massive cuts to social spending and massive tax cuts for the rich.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is threatening to unseat elected officials if they do not follow his orders to shut down the government during the holidays.

Are we still a democracy or have we already moved to oligarchy and authoritarianism?

The Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a West Philadelphia neighbourhood in 1985 ki!!ing 11 people, including 5 children, destroying 61 homes and leaving 250 people homeless

Penny verdict and the possible grabbing of the alleged CEO shooter happening simultaneously today really is telling a very distinct racial & class narrative.

BREAKING:   climate scientists show we're now rapidly entering a 1.6-1.8°C world and accelerating to unsurvivable 1.9-3°C by 2045 🧵

The reason this Nikki Giovanni news struck me extra hard is cause just this morning I was thinking of this clip of her.

Everything I know about how to examine love & the human condition as a writer - specifically - I got from studying her, Baldwin, Toni, Audre, Maya, etc. And they’re all gone now 😞

[Drew Comments @sjs856]

Yall think being mean and being racist are the same thing and they’re not. I have yet to see a single law, housing policy, hiring practice pattern, bank lending practice, education access policy, etc put in place by Black ppl to systemically disenfranchise other races.

Students across this country are still organizing - even if you’re not hearing about it. Divestment is one of the most powerful material consequences that can be achieved.

NO. "Woke" is a term Black folks were using to stay aware of racial and social issues going on. YOU clowns hijacked that word and bastardized it for your own culture war bullshit. There is no ideology with "woke". If anything, it's an ideology that you fabricated to scare people
