Volunteer Kim Mailes comforts Alice Galicia after she lost her home of 34-years to the Eaton fire. “I don’t know what we would have done without the Red Cross to help us right now,” she said.

If You Fly, We Can’t: A Critical Reminder from CAL FIRE 🚒
Yesterday, air operations on the Palisades Fire had to pause after a Canadian water-dropping aircraft struck a drone. This isn’t just dangerous—it puts lives, homes, and entire communities at risk.
When drones are in the air, firefighting aircraft can’t do their job. Every second counts in a wildfire, and this delay could have devastating consequences.
Flying a drone near a wildfire is not only reckless—it’s illegal.
Let’s all do our part to ensure the skies are clear for the professionals protecting us.

While we had never wanted to revisit the 2018 MNF circumstances again, we were hoping our playoff game would bring the same togetherness to our community that game did. Unfortunately the current situation is worse and the forecast more uncertain for weekend for first responders

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I am being frequently briefed on the wildfires in west Los Angeles. My team and I are in touch with state and local officials, and I have offered any federal assistance that is needed to help suppress the terrible Pacific Palisades fire. Earlier tonight, FEMA approved a Fire Management Assistance Grant to support areas that are impacted and help reimburse the state of California for the immediate firefighting costs. My Administration will do everything it can to support the response.

I urge the residents of the Pacific Palisades and the surrounding areas of Los Angeles to stay vigilant and listen to local officials.

Vandana Kumar taught every high school science class you could think of. She was so good at her job, in fact, she got an award for it, her own plaque inlaid in the cement in Woodland Hills.

Until someone ripped it out of the ground to sell for scrap.

Lucky to have known great people in cinema, but few have influenced me like Cari Beauchamp.
Her brilliant writing on Frances Marion, Anita Loos...her advocacy of Mary Pickford.
Politcally astute.
Laugh a minute.
A few months ago in LA she looked after me when I needed help 😪

[Jake Flynn @jakebflynn]

@BenMank77 @tcm Thank you for the kind words, Ben. Being a member of the @TCM family was one of the highlights of my mom’s life. She loved this community so much.

[Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA]

This heinous act of violence is horrific and the harm done to one of our Metro drivers is tragic.

I join the entire City family in praying for him tonight, and my heart also goes out to his family. 1/3
