Water Renaissance for #CAWater is the future! #Hopecore

#CAWater #Hopecore The state’s water future is dependent on having all impacted parties share in the solutions. Local water projects are the future for resiliency with climate change.

The Restore the Delta team, next gen, is worth major investment. I have never worked with a more dedicated team. They are the guardians of the estuary. And they are building the future of the region with restoration of water, land, and people with expertise unmatched by any other regional org.

🌊 For the past 20 years, our team has been taking care of business right here in the Delta. From water policy to flood and land restoration, our staff is out in community every day, ensuring the work to protect and restore our region gets done.

Sad that the Newsom Administration is trying to setup tunnel planning as a done deal for next Governor with a ballooning deficit, and more Californians in need than ever. The Delta tunnel won’t deliver more water with climate change, unless the State plan is to deplete Nor Cal rivers of all life.

Delta communities sold out by corporate Dems on the Delta Stewardship Council.

RFK Jr. made sweeping changes to the list of recommended childhood vaccines without consulting with doctors and experts. It puts us all at greater risk of preventable disease and should concern us all. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

They’re killing white women in public, so just imagine what they’re doing to detained POC.

Great colleagues and public participation did this. And you all did it fast!

Help us save the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta!

California deserves a sustainable water policy!

You can feel it in your bones. Something has changed. 🙌🙏🫶👇

#ICYMI: Trump’s plan to pump more water in California is ill-conceived and harmful, lawmakers say 🔗https://bit.ly/48VrBuz In a recent LA Times report, seven lawmakers led by @repgaramendi.bsky.social, are pushing back against the Trump admin's plan to pump more water out of the Delta.

The Delta was once home to one of the nation’s largest commercial salmon fisheries that fed Americans and employed the region’s diverse population. Restoring water for salmon runs is restorative for the region’s people as it will improve water quality for all.

🚨 Trump administration to direct more water to California farms 🔗 Read more: bit.ly/449Qq4B California officials and environmental groups immediately condemned the move, warning it could jeopardize water supplies and cause the collapse of salmon and other species.

This is a reminder when Advanced Peace and the Office of Violence Prevention were fully operational shootings were dropping rapidly by high percentages in #stockton. Being tough on crime isn’t about tough rhetoric. What happened here is a cautionary tale for US. www.abc10.com/video/news/l...

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

Trump is just gonna keep bombing people until somebody gives him a Nobel peace prize.

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

NOT DISCUSSED NEARLY ENOUGH THIS WEEK: Trump’s all over the Epstein files so he’s having Venezuelans killed as a distraction. Because of these crimes against humanity, a 4-star Admiral resigned and the British, the Dutch, and the Colombians are no longer sharing intel with the USA.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

The dam is breaking. The pedophile president's grip on the GOP is slipping away as another Republican sides with the victims and against Jeffrey Epstein and Dirty Donald. The Epstein files are going to be released. 😳👇

Work done by our best partners!

📌How could ANY Democratic senator who watched what happened Tuesday night, and then surrender to the party they battered just five days later? Because they are public servants who serve their private interests.

Judge seems skeptical of USDA saying they don’t have to pay SNAP benefits in lawsuit brought by the AGs of 22 states. Congress set up a $5.25 billion in contingency funds to use for SNAP in case of a shut down. USDA sneakily erased it. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AKR8MYdA6QIC...
