Actor Jason Momoa strongly advised against tourists visiting the island of Maui after the devastating wildfires destroyed the historic town of Lahaina last week.

The death toll reached 96 victims as search and rescue efforts continued following the conflagration reportedly due to the combination of drought and strong winds from Hurricane Dora driving the flames.

Momoa–who is Native Hawaiian on his paternal side–posted a notice to followers instructing them to reconsider vacation plans to Maui.

“DO NOT TRAVEL TO MAUI," he wrote in the first of a carousel of updates and information relating to the environmental catastrophe.

The overlaid text against various footage of the aftermath continued:

"If you were planning on traveling to Maui in the near future, cancel your trip."
"The devastation from the wildfires will have a lasting island-wide impact on Maui's resources."
"Our community needs time to heal, grieve & restore."
"That means the less visitors on island taking up critical resources that have become extremely limited the better."

"Do not book a hotel stay," he said explaining the state's Lodging Association and the Hotel Alliance were working together to house displaced residents.

"Survivors are the priority.”

Momoa captioned his post with:

"Maui is not the place to have your vacation right now."
"DO NOT TRAVEL TO MAUI."
"Do not convince yourself that your presence is needed on an island that is suffering this deeply."
"Mahalo to everyone who has donated and shown aloha to the community in this time of need."

His message was received loud and clear.

The Game of Thrones actor added that Hawaiian and Southwest Airlines have lowered prices so that victims can evacuate off the island.

He also stated that the cheap flights were not meant for travelers who were not affected by the natural disaster.

The post concluded with various information on how the public could help with relief efforts, including a link for donations towards the "Emergency Fundraiser for Maui Fires."

On August 10, Hawaii Governor Josh Green said the number of people missing has decreased as victims established contacts with relatives and friends.

However, he said:

“We are prepared for many tragic stories.”
The blaze is considered the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century, according to the Associated Press.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
