A couple million people marched in the “No Kings” protests against President Donald Trump. They went home safely that night. Millions of people protested the regime in Iran. Many of them never went home. They were shot in the streets. They were executed. They were hanged from cranes as a warning to others. 30,000+ killed in two days. One country allows protests against its leader. The other kills people for protesting its rulers. Before people throw words like “dictator” and “tyrant” around, they should understand what those words actually look like in the real world. Freedom isn’t proven by supporting a government. Freedom is proven by being allowed to protest against one and live to talk about it.

@SBCOUNTYFIRE @SupervisorCook Very well done 👍🏻👍🏻

The Mojave Desert is stunning, and unforgiving. San Bernardino County Fire Station 53 in Baker sits at the heart of California's deadliest stretch of highway, covering more than 5,000 square miles along the I-15 corridor. Every day, more than 220,000 vehicles pass through this remote desert. When something goes wrong, help can be over an hour away. #SBCoFD crews face it all out here. Traffic collisions, semi-truck fires, hazardous materials incidents, flash flooding, and temperatures that swing from 120-degree summers to winter snowstorms. There are no fire hydrants on the freeway, no quick backup, and no margin for error. This is the story of the people who chose to serve one of the most remote and demanding assignments in the nation, and what it takes to protect the thousands of travelers who pass through without ever knowing how close to the edge they really are. 🏜️ DRIVING THE I-15? BE PREPARED. The desert does not wait. Here are a few tips before you head out: Pack at least 1 to 2 gallons of water per person and keep your gas tank or battery above 50% throughout your trip. Bring snacks, a first aid kit, a phone charger, and a flashlight. If you break down, stay with your vehicle, turn on your hazards, and signal for help. Expect the unexpected. A single truck fire can shut down the freeway for 8 to 12 hours. Flash floods, dust storms, and ice are all real possibilities year round. Slow down, stay alert, and always let someone know your route and expected arrival time. Get Desert Travel Safety tips 👉 sbcfire.org/deserttravel/

My favorite part of Twitter today is reading geopolitical hot takes from people who had to be reminded not to eat laundry detergent 7 years ago.

NEW: Team USA honors Johnny Gaudreau, who was killed by an alleged drunk driver, by bringing his kids on the ice. Gaudreau was set to make the U.S. Olympics team before he & his brother were hit by a car in August of 2024. His kids are now 2 and 3. 🇺🇸

@Hotshot_Movie Wow 🤯

Rob Bonta’s office just filed what may be the dumbest rebuttal to the Palisades Fire case…I’ve ever seen. They’re saying a fresh burn scar can’t be considered an obvious rekindle threat because that would mean EVERY burn scar is a rekindle threat. Um. YEAH! Dude did everyone in Newsom’s orbit score a 780 on the SATs???

@Hotshot_Movie @sagesteele 😂

@sagesteele Hey it worked out great for the LAFD and the Palisades!

WHY must they LEAD with this? Why is it always about freaking sexuality?? Is this person THE most qualified to run what is prob the most difficult fire dept to run in America? If so, great. But the constant focus on sexuality & diversity is exhausting. And dangerous.

7 for me!

I have some thoughts about the Dodger bullpen. And the thoughts are not pleasant.

Men, this is what leading your wife looks like.

As I watch the Charlie Kirk memorial service, it is very uplifting to me with a strong message of love for Jesus Christ, our family and our country. I’m inspired to do a better job in all of these areas. I’m sure Charlie would be very proud of how many people his life, message and passion have inspired.

@Hotshot_Movie Oh brother 🤦🏻‍♂️. Not surprised sadly

Notice what they cite as the causes of wildfire threats…🥴

@engineco16 Not unusual in that area

#BaldyMesa "large urban traveler encampment" 🤔

@Hotshot_Movie Additionally, large FD’s may have air assets, smaller ones do not. Unless agreements are in place, requesting air assets comes with a high price to the requesting agency. Cost is factored in more than most people realize.

They already do this. They automatically dispatch *multiple* aircraft in a 1st alarm brush response, and in a mutual aid zone, you get multiple 1st alarms from 2-3 agencies. Y’all have unrealistic expectations of firefighters. They can’t just teleport copters to the fires. They go as quickly and safely as they can. It’s not a movie.

@JimGolondzinier 😂

Implementation of our department's strategic plan

@engineco16 Yeah that was pretty bad 😁

@DaveCorbin16 Tanker 107, you film as good as I do. 😁

New Vegetation fire Hwy. 91 x/Hwy. 71 #Corona.

@engineco16 From my back yard. A little blurry for the first 10-15 seconds

The fire is on the south side on Hwy. 91.
