I am not a Democrat. I am not a Republican. I am an American. What are you?

[arosek @arosekr]

The difference between die-hard right-wing Republicans and everyone else is this: GOPers threaten to withhold support for LA residents who lost EVERYTHING. Non-voters, centrists, liberals would never do that. Lots of Republican voters lost their homes too. #lafires #LosAngeles

@Hotshot_Movie Your movie is beautiful, great job. Thank them for doing what I and so many physical can't do.

@Hotshot_Movie When I was a "Hotshot" forest service firefighter, they wouldn't let us use water except on the cold side of the fire trail. Those fires that are happening in LA will NOT be controlled by water or more firemen until the wind stops, even then the fires create their own wind.

Some people run *towards* the flames. Get a crazy firsthand POV of what it's like inside biggest wildfires, and witness the insanely brave men and women who fight them by *hand*.

#Hotshot is now the #1 firefighter film of all time. Now streaming!

If you think water is the problem, here's an extended scene in our film that illustrates how ineffective water becomes when a wildfire really gets going, and just how gnarly things get when the winds bite it. It gets so hot, the water vaporizes before it hits the flames.

@edgarrmcgregor @VicLagina01 Actually, it'll be worse here because of the heat. If it totally stops raining we're doomed.

[arosek @arosekr]

@edgarrmcgregor @VicLagina01 I live in Central Texas and worry that 30 years from now, we'll have LA climate. And LA will simply not be there :-[.

More photos today of how stupid-lush the mountains north of Los Angeles are after our wettest 18-month period in 117 years of weather record keeping:

After these fuels dry out this summer, wildfires are going to go nuclear this fall.

These are the exact powerlines in question that started the #EatonFire with downtown Los Angeles in the background.

This photo was taken on November 9, 2019.

Despite all we've lost, there is still so much to save.
There is a future worth fighting for.
Become a climate activist.
Please.

[Edgar McGregor @edgarrmcgregor]

The amount of people who misunderstand the difference between climate change causing wildfires (basically not a thing) and climate change making existing wildfires worse is staggering.

We truly must open the schools.

Our thoughts are with the people of Los Angeles.

Canadians will always step up to help our closest neighbours & friends.

This is a Canadian water bomber.

The clownish antics & threats of a President in his final term won’t change that.

Our strong friendship will survive him.

Bystander footage captures firefighting planes picking up water from the Pacific Ocean and flying over homes in Los Angeles in an effort to battle wildfires raging in California.

Watch this interview:

“My parents have been in this house for 75 years and they've had the same insurance AND THESE INSURANCE PEOPLE DECIDED TO CANCEL THEIR FIRE. We're going through this and it just happened and they don't have fire insurance!”

@limerX10 @JLRINVESTIGATES Broke millennials don't ditch their socials and don't let their money sit in their venmo accounts. I think she is gone. If the money aint in the account anymore, someone hacked her. Wouldn't be surprising given how much identifying info these so-called "sleuths" post about her.

[arosek @arosekr]

@alleygorey @SF_investigates Not a shred of empathy in this one ☝️

[arosek @arosekr]

@Realdealerllc @SF_investigates the leaps you internet people make is astounding.

[arosek @arosekr]

@ninaturner Exactly. Instead of reminding people that our planet is on fire and corporations are bleeding regular workers dry we got, "We are OK with fracking, look at GDP! And Liz Cheney loves us!"
