Thanks, Joyce. My outrage deals with climate change. The heat waves and now devastating fires in Hawaii. It is criminal those who can affect real change have been blind to it. The world we are leaving our children makes me weep.

I live on the Big Island and have been in a state of shock all day. Historic Old Lahaina is gone . . . GONE! So much history up in smoke!! So many lives changed, homes lost, animals killed (pets, farm, and wild). All GONE.
So, so sorry. I've experienced the effect of devastating fires in California. Both my Mom in the 1991 Oakland fire and a close friend in the Paradise fire in 2018 (I think) lost their homes. It is so tragic. Sending hugs.
I also have a friend who survived the Paradise Fire (yes 2018) with only her life and her car. I lived in CA for 15 years and am moving back there at the end of this month. WA State also has fires, that’s where I am now. It’s beautiful here.
I was on the phone with my friend as she was trying to flee in her car, but the roads were blocked. I've never felt to helpless. The next day I was evacuated due to a fire not far from my house. I was lucky.
This has just been heartbreaking news to see what is happening on Maui. As a Californian, your shock is fully understandable. We all know people who have lost everything in the big fires here. Sending ❤️ from CA.
"It is criminal those who can affect real change have been blind to it." Truth. However what is an order of magnitude more criminal are those who have plans to reverse anything and everything done so far to address climate change. I speak of the MAGA Republican Party, which has hijacked the entire party as we all know, and their "Project 2025" - https://www.project2025.org/
This political party has become the enemy of the world at large, an existential threat to humanity and nature as we know it. If by some quirk - perhaps a totally irresponsible dereliction of duty as a voting block of not voting in 2024 (we are relying on our young adults) the MAGGOTS get into power - it will be a giant step toward the dystopian world we are trying to prevent.

Cynthia, please stay safe.
My heart goes out to all that have suffered.. May relief and recovery begin. Prayers for your continued safety.
To now think of the beauty of Maui gone and the people, homes, pets lost.....💔💔💔
The devastation is unthinkable in Lahaina. I’ve been talking with friends off and on all day as they hear from friends. So awful.
Mary do you know if Lahaina Luna HS is ok? I graduated from there.
I don’t. It appears to be inland from the worst of the fires. On Google maps you can mark Maui fires and then the high school. But I have not heard.
36 now confirmed dead.
Oh no.... the loss of human and animal life, the death of trees and the destruction of beauty is heartbreaking.
💔💔💔
Now 53.
Now 53 confirmed dead.
So, so sad.
Willfully blind, with malice a forethought.
Willfully blind, with malice afore thought. That sums up the American Fascist party in a nutshell.

And the oil companies who want to continue destroying the Amazon, our only hope left for a pristine wild place.
It's no longer just climate change, it's climate crisis.
