Honestly I saw libs of TikTok post this and I’m like, so what? They’re women.
Are they unqualified? Then say it and describe why. Are they doing stupid shit? Then tell me about that.
But don’t just assume I’ll surmise that because they’re women.
Oh they’re butch dykes? Honestly as women firefighters go that’s probably the ideal subset to recruit from.
One commenter said ‘I’d like to see them do [some physical task]. Well I have news for you, the leadership of one of the largest fire departments in the country doesn’t have that as part of their job description.
Well, they state that DEI was the department’s number one priority. Not, you know, putting out fires.

When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Re @George-K question, moved to the appropriate thread.
My understanding is they didn’t fill the reservoirs because some fish in Northern California might have taken offense. Ok more like environmental rules stymied the diversion of water away from its historic path to the pacific.

How does the normal person get to that point? In fire departments, by rising through the ranks.
Think any of those gals could roll hose or pack 200 pounds of deadweight like a man?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

The mayor says - help can be found at URL
“Make no mistake, Los Angeles will rebuild stronger than ever. Right now, if you need help, emergency information, resources and shelter is available. All of this can be found at URL. Los Angeles together is how we will get through this,” Bass said while reading off a script.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

"LA burned on his/her watch" will be the slogan they'll hear I'm sure. Mayor Bass had a career panic in her video (although maybe she was just trying to "say nothing", which is the opposite of what a leader should do), and I'd imagine Newsom is thinking his 2028 odds are also going up in smoke.
