First off, I'm glad that the weather seems to be normalizing in Ohio. I have some family in that state, and we haven't heard anything concerning from them lately.
Secondly, thank you for showing empathy for the people of Los Angeles and their neighbors: even though I live in northern California, the situation with the wildfires is still truly heartbreaking and personally traumatizing. I don't know if you heard, but I lost one of my closest friends in a house fire last Christmas Day (which is also my mom's birthday). He managed to save his family and friends from the blaze but became disoriented by the flames along with complications with his asthma. We have all dubbed him a hero as well as our friend, and we are still grieving the loss -- to lose him like that was just petrifying.
I just read an article about how a MAGA-centered American actor named James Woods who wanted every Palestinian in Gaza slaughtered (he created a hashtag called #KillThemAll) found his own home burned to the ground by the infernos. Woods is known for portraying Hades in Disney's "Hercules", formerly one of my favorite Disney films. I say formerly because I can't look at that film the same way anymore after Woods fell in line with MAGA. And his Twitter post with the hashtag was just hideous. He was calling for Gaza to be "blown back to the Stone Age", and for there to be no compromise or ceasefire. Pretty much what Nikki Haley wrote on an Israeli warhead with a Sharpie.
Well, now James Woods has no home, and Trump isn't going to save him either, regardless of his loyalty. Karma doesn't sleep, it seems...
