LA City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto has a lot of nerve to attend a journalism event and tweet about it, while seeking a prior restraint against reporter Ben Camacho, who simply received and published photos Soto's own office gave him.

My heart is broken for Mauʻi. The island has been over-touristed and overdeveloped fr decades and that has a direct relationship to this fire. If you have ever visited #maui PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO THE RELIEF EFFORTS.

Please join me in making a tax-deductible donation to the Maui Community Recovery Fund. http://mauicommunityrecoveryfund.org/
