1. This year, there will be no way to make even a dent in the fires with our tools. There is no small chance that vast swaths of major cities there will burn. I know, because I've fought wildfires, and everyone on my crew agrees: this month is the beginning of the end.

2. I don't understand the lack of reporting on the decades of Cal Fire failures leading to this moment. The explanation for this goes far beyond prison labor shortages. It's about the interests of the logging industry, energy sector, and political corruption over decades.

3. Policy failures have led to what could now be the destruction of an entire state. Pieces of this reporting always seem detached from one another. Rarely are they combined to give a full accounting of what led to the inferno poised to consume California.
Speaker Mike Johnson's top contributor is AIPAC. He's currently trying to transfer billions of dollars of weapons to Israel by cutting IRS funding that would pay for free tax filing for Americans.
I got arrested that day and charged with 13 felonies for walking down the street through a blanket conspiracy charge. The MPD spent literal years combing through surveillance tapes to target and charge everyone in that protest.
Weil was set to fill arguably the most important role in the Department of Labor. Manchin and Sinema killed his nomination after gig companies and the restaurant lobby threw a tantrum over workers making a living wage.
Wow. This threat is emerging the day before a vote on reauthorizing vast domestic spying capabilities? And the head of the house intel wants to declassify it? What are the chances!
Just in: House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner said his panel has information available to all members about a "serious national security threat."
He is requesting that Biden declassify the information surrounding it.
5. Let me add this: fighting wild fires means digging scratch lines with shovels and dozers and praying the weather changes. The effective tools we have to combat these fires are entirely preemptive, not reactive. Once it reaches this stage it's really out of human control.
For those who believe in the deep state, this is probably the most visible instance of the intelligence community undercutting the White House AND the majority of Congress in recent years. Why? To preserve their right to spy on you without a warrant.
Some jaw-dropping news: House intelligence committee (HPSCI) leaders forced Speaker Johnson to CANCEL THE FLOOR VOTE on Section 702 tomorrow, rather than allow members to vote on whether to prohibit warrantless access to Americans’ communications. 1/18
The man on the left got 12 years for 8 ounces of weed. The man on the right paid a fine for 30 federal crimes. They shared the same judge: Michelle Childs.
7.) Mike Davis write about how failure to address wildfire land management regulations + Cal housing speculation is the same as 1995-2008 wall street deregulation paired with CDO trading challenge. Bet big until the crash...

It's certainly not for lack of available slave labor. It's the fact that everything we needed to be doing to prevent this for the last 50 years hasn't happened. Why this year? Because every year we continue to prioritize profits over people we gamble with total annihilation.

Putting aside whether this decision is right, I just want to note that an educated student who says she is against genocide and violence has a literal hammer and sickle in her bio.
