PJW Breaks Down The Entire Acosta Controversy
November 10, 2018Twitter is the armpit of the internet.
It’s little more than an easy way to pick fights with people you don’t agree with. Sure…I’m guilty of it.I’ll admit that. And for the most part, so is James Woods. Yes – I LOVE him on Twitter, but his Twitter, like mine, is full of snarky (and ENTIRELY accurate) comebacks.
As California wildfires rage – James is putting his huge Twitter following to good use:
Posting this story in the hopes @jack and @TwitterSupport might develop a model for online volunteers to assist in future disasters. A simple hashtag (we used #CampFireJamesWoods) can become a central bulletin board for those desperate for info. https://t.co/hif9vLbG2l

Outspoken Hollywood actor James Woods opted to rise above his differences with Twitter CEO Jack Dempsey to call on the social media platform to develop a model to assist families during natural disasters.
Family members desperately searching for relatives missing in the raging Camp Fire in California received an unexpected assist from Woods when he allowed his Twitter feed — the Emmy Award winning actor has 1.84 million followers — to be used as a bulletin board for family members to inquire about missing loved ones.
And he’s already getting a head start, with or without Twitter’s “official” help:
#MISSINGPERSON information regarding the #CampFire can be shared using this hashtag: #CampFireJamesWoods People can tweet info regarding missing loved ones, then my followers and I retweet it. The hashtag can then be searched. @BreakingNLive pic.twitter.com/aasjJDD6Ia

My father-in-law transported several people from Feather Canyon Retirement Residents in Paradise, CA. These two ladies have yet to make contact with relatives. They are safe in Durham. Please reach out to me if you know who these women are. #CampFire #Paradise @RealJamesWoods pic.twitter.com/29NDDOdZrw

THIS ISN’T ABOUT POLITICS, FOLKS.
IT’S ABOUT HUMANITY.
Sure – California is a liberal state – but there are REAL PEOPLE living in it. People who deserve HUMAN KINDNESS. Please consider this before you open your trap about “California had this coming.”
MAYBE the government did – but no human being deserves this. I will not stand by anyone who doesn’t open their hearts to those who are losing everything right now. Some have even lost their lives.
I must say that although I don’t agree at all with your politics, @RealJamesWoods, this was an incredible deed you did and shows how good people can really be. Last night you put the country above all else in helping these people and you deserve great appreciation for it.

Great idea, James. I just hope that people can take off the blinders and put aside their bitter, partisan bickering when things that really matter in life occur, such as this devastating fire in Northern California.

Awesome.
For now… for just a moment, let’s all put politics aside and be fellow AMERICANS…fellow HUMAN BEINGS.
My prayers are with everyone affected by this horrific event.
