I don't normally post directly from Politico

However, Trump will be in California today (Jan 24) re wildfires & Newsom's dysfunctional quote is important for resistors to know

Via Politico:

Gov Newsom...

I have “a lot of relationships in the Trump world; a lot of relationships of trust. I communicate with a lot of folks around him, folks that have his ear and influence,” he said, without naming names..."

Marketplace NPR program had a helpful segment on today, with the CA Insurance commish. Except for the part about googling for the phone number, there was some helpful info in there.

@TomWellborn and yes, #Musk is an incompetent asshole, cuz #CAwildfires are combatted by the best of the best, with #USFS's "#Helljumpers" on the ground.

I'd bet €500 that Musk won't pass basic firefighter training and be kicked out of my local fire brigade for being an antisocial asshole who cannot be trusted and noone would entrust him with their life.

  • Because in the end that's what makes or breaks an entire platoon of #firefighters: Either everyone is trusting each other to have their backs and help or they are incapable of anything.

I know that Musk will loose this bet if he were to take it at all (cuz he's a #coward!) because he lacks something he can't buy or get done for him:

  • Being a human being with actual empathy and a conciousness!

Seriously, Musk would not be allowed to even serve as #convict #firefighter because he's just a spoiled brat.

  • Sincerely, a fmr. Firefighter.

THE NEXT TIME A NATURAL DISASTER STRIKES A #RedState, I want EVERY #DEMOCRAT to threaten to withhold aid citing the following reasons:

1) You potentiality dismissed more qualified candidates for leadership positions just b/c they were #gay, #trans or simply female.

2) You get hit by these hurricanes YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR, yet you REFUSE to acknowledge the role #GlobalWarming plays in making these storms stronger & more frequent, refusing to take ANY measures to mitigate them. #CAWildfires

In related emergency preparation news, I stumbled across what I think is the best light.

This tent light has a long run time with several modes, is rechargeable AND can run from regular cells. It's also got a solar panel, AND it's magnetically detachable so it can be in the outside of your tent and still charge the light (inductively?)

Altadena resident to Joy Reid warns homeowners against selling residential property to disaster #RealEstate vultures:

Don't give up your home. There are organizations putting together money to help people rebuild. And don't sell for less than it's worth.

Those scary high winds in California… if you’ve never experienced them, they’re fcking wild. Nothing in the east will prepare you for them. They’ve moved into the SFBA today, too. It’s beyond control. They’re fire winds. #wildfires2025 #SantaAnas #CAwildfires #SFBay
