The current Air Quality Index (AQI) in #Portland is the worst of any major city.

Beyond Unhealthy. Beyond Very Unhealthy. It’s “Hazardous”. I’ve never seen this. It’s like a pea soup fog of toxins outside.

#OregonWildfires2020 Public Service Announcement: STAY INSIDE. Image
AQI 418. The icon is a person in a gas mask. Image
Actually it’s well above 500 AQI on the east side of Portland. There are spots in Eugene above 700 AQI. Stay safe everyone. Image

Are you in Oregon right now? Have you spent time in Western Oregon prior to this week? Unless the answer to both those questions is “yes,” you can’t know what we’re going through. #OregonWildfires2020

But it’s not your fault. National news outlets, even the reliable ones like @washingtonpost and @nytimes just aren’t capturing the uniquely dire situation in Oregon. Although @cflav and @henryfountain started to scratch the surface nyti.ms/2Zycepj #OregonWildfires2020
We are not just an extension of California and Washington. We are not just experiencing the next incremental progression of #ClimateChange. This is a weather/ecological event the likes of which the world has not seen in modern history. #OregonWildfires2020 ImageImage

The fake reports of antifa starting fires is bullshit. In reality we're putting them out, we're out here helping you chuds. Humble yourselves. Stop the checkpoints and the bullshit.

I saw similar fear mongering when I fought the campfire in '18. Then you all said space lasers. Now you saw antifa is lighting fires. False claims that fuel significant tensions while police departments have issued statements that these claims are false.

The fear is real. Stop spreading rumors. #antifascistfirefighters are working hard and they are straight up worried about being homeless while doing their job. I too wonder if I'll be homeless this week.
