Your fire extinguisher is useless against lithium-ion battery fires. The toxic gases are worse than the flames. With Christmas coming, here's what every family needs to know about those devices under the tree.

What just happened at the Justice Department violates every principle of operational integrity I've learned in four decades of public safety. This isn't politics. This is operational failure that threatens us all.

If the government can kill without trial at sea, what stops them from doing it in the air? On land? Against you? Against me? The line is gone. open.substack.com/pub/together...

A President now commands a loyal, armed force in D.C.
No governor. No legislature. No checks.
If this experiment succeeds, it won’t stay contained.
The test isn’t just in D.C.
It’s in us.

Liberty isn’t safe. Liberty isn’t comfortable. Liberty isn’t free.
If you think otherwise, you’re helping kill it.

We are not becoming authoritarian. We are there.
When kids in cages became background noise. When 49 murdered in a nightclub became “a distraction.” Silence isn’t neutrality. Silence is consent.

Trump’s ‘peace plan’ rewards Putin while eroding democracy at home. Ukraine shouldn’t pay the price for authoritarian ambition abroad OR in Washington.

Wildfire smoke doesn’t need a passport.
Neither does climate disaster.

Canada asked for help. The world is too busy burning.

“Real aid has wheels, not wings.”
As a disaster medic, I’ve seen what happens when desperate people are forced to fight for air-dropped aid. Gaza deserves better than theater.

Pam Bondi just fired a career prosecutor chosen by NJ federal judges to replace Alina Habba—Trump’s former personal attorney. This isn’t “law and order.” It’s executive overreach. Judges followed the law. Bondi wants loyalty, not justice. #TogetherWeAreMore

We’re not divided because we disagree—we’re divided because lies have replaced truth. And when that happens, trust disappears. If that alarms you, read this.

Yesterday, armed troops stormed MacArthur Park under the guise of immigration enforcement. This is no longer rhetoric—this is repression. I never thought I’d see this in America. But now that I have, I won’t stay silent. #MacArthurPark #TogetherWeAreMore

I’m a veteran and fire chief, and I no longer recognize my country. This isn’t just politics—it’s the rise of something darker.

Veterans are being denied care. Not for violence, but for their beliefs. I wrote a full breakdown on how it’s happening, why it’s legal (on paper), and what we can do.

VA doctors can now deny veterans care based on their politics or marriage status. That’s not healthcare—it’s betrayal. I wrote a letter that calls this out. Please read and share.
