Instead of thoughts, what's the plan to prevent wildfires? Are a growing number of people (& wildlife) supposed to just get used to being flooded or burned out of their homes, left homeless, jobless, community-less, habitat-less & even family-less? How long will people tolerate this?

My thoughts are with all of our community members impacted by catastrophic wildfires in Spokane, and across Eastern and Central Washington. Our brave first responders have acted swiftly to keep families, loved ones, and properties safe as evacuations continue.

Honestly one of the things that makes me most angry is our failure to protect children Many kids will have had several COVID infections before they can even speak Many will have long COVID before they even enter school We are disabling entire generations And it will come back to haunt us

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
