"I am so disappointed by the biased article concerning the death of Charlie Kirk. Instead of pointing out some of the great things this man stood for, your paper is quick to point out, in fact, calling him a liar for some of his comments about the pandemic. You missed the fact that Kirk was the Pied Piper of the conservative movement. He took to Twitter and college campuses during the Trump campaign and created an incredible movement within the Republican Party."
"As an East Bay resident, wildfires have become an ever-present and devastating reality. The Camp Fire showed how entire communities can be destroyed and skies filled with ash for weeks. While home-hardening has a role, it is unacceptable that the burden of wildfire protection falls mainly on homeowners. Our leaders must act to prevent catastrophic blazes before they start and protect forest ecosystems rather than just advising costly home improvements."
"Recent policies have enabled the timber industry to degrade forests through practices like clear-cutting, leaving landscapes drier and more prone to fast-moving fires. Those choices put vulnerable communities, often with no safety net, squarely in harm's way. If we truly want resilient communities, let's prioritize safeguarding forests and holding decision-makers and industries accountable, instead of shifting responsibility onto individual homeowners and their gardens."

Wildfires are an ever-present and devastating reality in the East Bay, with the Camp Fire destroying entire communities and blanketing skies with ash for weeks. Home-hardening plays a role, but wildfire protection should not fall mainly on homeowners; leaders must prevent blazes before they start and protect forest ecosystems rather than only advising costly home improvements. Policies enabling timber industry clear-cutting have left landscapes drier and more prone to fast-moving fires, placing vulnerable communities in harm's way.
