Today, on Martin Luther King Day, I reflect on this 1980s photo I took. Coretta Scott Kingโs eyes struck me deeplyโa reminder of the heroes of the struggle. Today is not a day to give up.

Wildfire smoke is toxic to everyone bc it has small particulates of all the stuff that has burned that get deep in your lungs: super dangerous for young children. I know many people who became asthmatic after the N. California orange and firestorms 7 years ago. Stay inside if you can!

Mike Davis and many others have been talking about this for decades. Even with all of the mountains of evidence on climate change they are continuing to rebuild from disasters the same way and often more densely in the same places e.g. the Florida coast, Santa Rosa, and probably very soon in Malibu.

Fires would be in the news regularly with a few homes burned, but most surviving. Now we have firestorms inside tornadoes. It is climate change and it is going to get exponentially worse quickly for all natural disasters.

I am so grateful to Jimmy Carter, a great, principled man. In the 90s, I was privileged to work at the Carter Center (on Democratization and Conflict Resolution), an experience that inspired my commitment to making a difference rather than just making a buck. He will be missed.
