Thank you for highlighting the horrors. That there are MAGAts that want to put conditions on aid is absurd. IF they dare say it's about one's income or house cost, then if ANYthing ever happens to Pres-Elect Musk or his DOGE partner, or any of the techbros who have lost any sense of good, bupkis for them.

I love the “cartoons” with important messages. Thanks for providing links for contributing to those who have lost their homes. I had heard that scammers were setting up GoFundMe pages.

Altadena UMC; here is a fund raiser their totally burned down church is promoting to help their mostly displaced members.

GoFundMe page set up to assist our families directly, with their immediate needs as most are displaced and/or have lost their homes. https://gofund.me/90173d59. Thank you.🌺

The system itself is criminal to pay trained prisoner firefighters about a buck an hour? These people are standing side by side with professionals from multiple states, Mexico and Canada. Pay them a decent wage for God’s sake. And no delays on aid to SoCal, exactly like there were no conditions set for NC and Fla after devastation from back-to-back hurricanes last year. Greedy selfish hateful racist jerks!

More than 200 employees of Cal Tech & JPL lost their homes. That's not just engineers and physicists; it's cafeteria workers, custodians, daycare providers. No movie stars. And that's just in Altadena. It's easy to find on the ground nonprofits that are doing what is needed to help. #LAStrong

Nice and _THANK_YOU_ for this .

I'm lucky, my house is several blocks South of the fires so all I have is leaves and branches from the windstorm plus of course, ashes ~ lots and lots of ashes, several cubic yards so far .

Plus a listing Cinder block wall I have no idea how to fix, if anyone here knows a Tradesman (? Mason ?) who wants a nice cash paid job please contact me .

I was up early Wednesday morning taking photos in the dark (Edison pulled the plug early on) before the fire trucks showed up, I'll send a few to Keith in case he wants to post them .
