After all the work done during the civil rights movement over 60 years ago, America has slipped backwards: We’ve learned nothing, and now racism, hate and bigotry are normalized by our government while our elected representatives turn a blind eye.

Whoa, this amazing appointment shows that Mamdani means to walk his talk. So impressed. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Do you know who is paying for Trump’s ballroom? Amazon Google Apple Meta And a bunch of other companies that coincidentally have business in front of the Trump Administration right now. So are these companies getting special favors in return? I’m pressing for answers.

UPDATE: Since launching our own methane-tracking satellite earlier this year, California has helped close 10 large methane leaks in our state. That pollution reduction is roughly the same as taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for an entire year.

If you call yourself a follower of Jesus Christ but support the pepper-spraying and arresting ministers, then thou art staggeringly full of crap.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much” SNAP does not drive up grocery prices. That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed. For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy. While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

Nothing says serious national emergency like staging a $220M cowboy glamour shoot at Mount Rushmore while your friends quietly cash the checks. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

President Donald Trump has issued two pardons related to the investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, including for a woman convicted of threatening to shoot FBI agents. n.pr/4oJel3b

The median age of all US homebuyers: 59 years old It was 30 in 1980

Thrilled to meet with Rio Vice Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere about his city's remarkable efforts to fight the climate crisis and mitigate the extreme weather linked to it. A refreshing change from the Trump Administration, which couldn't even find a note-taker to send to #COP30.

We’re pro America. And pro people with critical thinking skills.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent. She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

"Trump will likely respond to his declining popularity by accelerating efforts to immunize himself against accountability, and by attempting to distract via foreign wars and domestic repression. He will also likely escalate his and allies’ looting of America..." plus.flux.community/p/democratic...

This 15-story data tower in the heart of the Amazon collects vital climate data that is shared with Americans in California and across the country. The Trump Administration can ignore reality and worsen the climate crisis, but California will never stop fighting for our future.

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

Before anyone gets too carried away here.

NEW: California now has nearly 17,000 megawatts of battery storage – reaching one-third of the way to our 2045 goal. We're deploying more battery storage than any state in America, building a stronger grid, cutting pollution, and securing a safer future for our nation.

Minnesota Baristas are back on the picket line today after a powerful Red Cup Rebellion kicked off their ULP strike. Show up, stand strong, and support workers fighting for respect and dignity on the job. ✊💜 (1/2) #nocontractnocoffee #unionstrong #seiu @seiu.org @sbworkersunited.org

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon. 77 million people voted for this.

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Interesting to read in the Times of Labour Ministers admitting that the Green Party are very much ready to take them (and Reform) on. "Polanski plans to redistribute power with a smile." www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

IT'S TONIGHT! CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS—The Virginia Theater—Fri., November 14. thevirginia.showare.com/eventperform...

We are now one of those countries who 'disappear' people. What a great shame the GOP has brought like a dark shadow over our fair land. We used to think that this couldn't happen here in America, remember?

“This case is important from two points of view,” Mr. Kovalik added. “First, the family deserves compensation for the loss.” “Second, we want this case to help stop these killings from taking place again,” Mr. Kovalik said. “This is murder, and it is destroying rule of law.”

Dear Karolyin' — thanks to climate policies Trump is too lazy or too stupid to understand, @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom is in Brazil fighting for clean energy to bolster grid reliability, more jobs at home, and a healthier California. Enjoy your Black Lung, though!

They’re all just looting the treasury now

BREAKING: Twenty-four survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes have issued an emotional and urgent appeal to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, demanding that Congress vote to release the long-awaited Epstein files. meidasnews.com/news/survivo...

One of the worst men on the planet, Epstein, thought TRUMP was evil.

Megyn Kelly is not just problematic in her defense of Trump and Epstein…she is emblematic of the decline in humanity infesting the Republican Party. The double standard for the definition of a child. The excuses…the rot at the center of the GOP. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

BREAKING: Trump has ordered the DOJ and FBI to investigate Democrats and institutions connected to Epstein, telling them to avoid investigating Republicans, as he tries to shift blame from his own connections. I call out this complete hypocrisy. Spread the word. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Newsom is putting the miles in.

Can you imagine trump in this photo? He'd be thinking how can I extort this guy.

So, this guy is definitely walking the walk.

Visiting the Jamaraquá community in the Amazon River Basin was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn about local climate solutions and the sustainable economic practices happening here. Proud to stand with Indigenous leaders in working to help California drive real solutions to the climate crisis.

If you're frustrated with your representation, it's because far too often your leaders are working for corporate special interests, not you. That's why I'm not taking a single dime of Corporate PAC money in this race, so you can rest assured I'll fight for YOU in the Senate.

“The president bears responsibility for Wednesdays attack on Congress by MOB rioters. He should have immediately denounced the MOB when he saw what was unfolding.” Kevin McCarthy

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Survivors of Epstein's abuse are going up against some of the most powerful institutions and people. It's dangerous, so we cannot drop the ball here. For them and for other survivors of abuse and sex trafficking. We must continue to fight as hard as we can for justice.

The fact that practically the whole world stopped to look up at the Northern Lights is a reminder that wonder still exists outside the algorithm.

BREAKING: The Justice Department sues to block California’s new congressional map, joining a fight that could shape control of the House in 2026.

These losers lost at the ballot box and soon they will also lose in court.

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today: ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71832...
