Returned to a spot in Pacific Palisades overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The overcast skies are typical "June gloom". In the second image you can see the opportunistic and invasive black mustard being among the first to recolonize after the fires. Below the bluffs there is a mobile home community which was completely wiped out by the Palisades Fire. On the left you can see the burned lots that have been cleared and covered with an organic pulp to help reduce dust. On the right of the same image are lots that have not been cleared yet.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles has been invaded by the National Guard which neither the mayor of governor requested. During the election, the current president categorized "illegal" immigrants as violent rapists and murders invading our country. Starting a week ago ICE officials started raiding a garment factory and a Home Depot where people go to find work. I didn't know the violent rapists and murders were also good a sewing and construction. Protests, mostly peaceful, showed up in a few areas. Questionable tactics targeting vulnerable workers justify the outrage.
