I don’t know who this Minnesota man is, but he absolutely speaks for me.

The jobs report is in. What a disaster.

Those EPSTEIN FILES MUST BE HORRIBLE!!!!!!

Wishing all who celebrate Happy Unredacted Puppy Records and No More Plastic Bags at Grocery Checkout! #caleg #california

Adios and good riddance to plastic bags at grocery checkout across California! Pack your reusable bags!

New proposed #caleg rule/best practice: No more deadlines for reports, plans, etc. of Dec 31/Jan 1. Just kinda mean to everyone involved -- let's go with July 1 or December 15.

Of course Ezra Klein is an effective altruism booster… Don’t fall for it! Garbage in, garbage out. The primary objective (or at least clear result) is to center elites’ technocratic perspectives, make you doubt your cares/instincts, and to undermine movement building and grassroots organizing.

New goal: Live your life in a manner that Trump celebrates your death. #RIPRobReiner

EVERYBODY ONLINE: space is the worst possible place for a data center, doesn't anyone at this paper know a single thing about thermodynamics??? EVERY MAJOR PUBLICATION IN AMERICA: do opinions count

you could dig through thousands of stories from this "affordability" news cycle and not find a SINGLE ONE that lays any of the blame at the feet of consolidated corporate power or its relentless quest to completely defang regulatory oversight not one! It's utterly pathological

I’m but a simple country theoretical physicist, and I can say, in my professional capacity, “datacenters in space” is so colossally, monumentally stupid that it is difficult to know where to start with which laws of physics the idea is spitting in the face of the most.

Featured speakers on the @nytimes.com Dealbook stage today: 8 men, 3 women, 2 people of color; 4 billionaires, 3 $500m+ net worth, 3 multi-millionaires.

We can have democracy or we have billionaires. We cannot have both. My thoughts on Silicon Valley's fascist turn and what it means for our future, on @kqedforum.bsky.social with @rachaelmyrow.bsky.social www.kqed.org/forum/201010...

Pre-order @gilduran.com’s forthcoming tome? ✅ (Gil, the book’s content better match the title’s wit and promise. No pressure, just the health of America, the world, humankind, every other species, and the planet banking on everybody waking up and rising up.) www.thenerdreich.com/r/7df4fce6?m...

I'll be on @kqedforum.bsky.social on Monday 12/1 to discuss the latest. 10 am PST, one-hour talk, call with questions! www.kqed.org/forum

Too on the nose to pre-order @gilduran.com’s forthcoming book on Black Friday? Nope!

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Hey Ezra Klein, here is the answer you been searching for — this is why the bad things are happening.

Today, the House Natural Resources Committee passed the SPEED Act, a “permitting reform” bill that hobbles the National Environmental Policy Act & will make it far easier for DOI to justify these lease sales & kneecap Californians’ ability to seek redress in federal court.

Today, the California coast we cherish and the delicate ocean ecosystems just beyond it face a renewed threat from offshore drilling. We oppose the Trump Administration’s 5-year oil and gas leasing program and will continue to defend our coastline, wildlife, economy, and health from this threat.

Trump’s terrible offshore oil drilling proposal does the seemingly impossible: unites Desantis and Newsom.

Trump says wind turbines — what he calls "windmills" — are ugly and "ruin the view," such as at his golf resort in Scotland. Yet he doesn't mind offshore oil rigs. Catastrophic oil spills have ruined the environment and killed wildlife. #Trump #PeopleVsFossilFuels

BREAKING NEWS 📣 Today, we received devastating news that the Trump administration is officially pursuing an unprecedented and dangerous new offshore drilling plan that will open vast stretches of U.S. coastlines up to new offshore oil and gas drilling.

Today’s announcement by the Trump Administration to open up offshore oil leases moves us decades into the past. Doing so will ravage our most precious resources and the health of our communities. California is cutting emissions while growing (1/2) www.ksbw.com/article/cali...

Strong statement from @rephuffman.bsky.social re: the "SPEED Act," a "permitting reform" bill that attacks the Magna Carta of environmental laws, NEPA: "This strawman that you have built NEPA into is disingenuous and false and we will not acquiesce to this false narrative."

A really fine piece of student journalism. Doing better on this story than elite rags.

This: “on a planet of eight billion people, Summers is not a unique source of reliable insight.” … (Jeff) Hauser said he hopes Mr. Summers will quietly “grapple with the privileges he has abused,” while the media world finds new expert voices to elevate. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

Breaking news: Harvard University is launching an investigation of the relationship between its former president Larry Summers and Jeffrey Epstein. Summers said in a statement that he has resigned from the board of ChatGPT’s maker OpenAI.

Scene in 1 of 2 overflow room. 74+ speakers here to urge @saccounty.gov to deny permit to destroy 1000s of heritage valley oaks for *massive* industrial scale solar project. Alternatives exist that don’t sacrifice irreplaceable habitat. I’m here as a long time Sac resident in Sup Serna’s district.

@harvard.edu should cut all ties now based on Summers’ utterly poor judgment to continue a relationship w Epstein, but also the content of their communication — where Summers details his harassment of a graduate student. If Harvard doesn’t fire him for this, what *would* it take to lose his job?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Harvard University should sever ties with Larry Summers, the school’s former president and one of its most prominent faculty members to hold Summers accountable for his intimate friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. https://cnn.it/4oLRqEo

Didn't realize he's an AI hustler too, just evil upon evil

this man should no longer have a job where he is teaching undergraduate or frankly graduate students. get him out of the classroom. unbelievable he's been allowed to stay this long.

This is the last chance to correct a serious error; the supervisors need to send this plan back to the drawing board.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

If you want to understand what's driving Silicon Valley's broligarchs, why they're wrong about basically everything, and how we can stop them, this is the book for you.

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.

I’ve now aged out of this but navigating the pestering attention of older men in my field—which varied from manipulative flattery when they were trying to sleep with you to contemptuous retaliation when they realized they couldn’t—was an exhausting and demoralizing tax of my early professional life.

Please help spread the word about this dog found on 11/12 in Sacramento near San Juan and Bridgeford. Large neutered male Doberman found with gray collar. Very sweet and obviously well taken care of. For more information or to contact the finder, click here: petcolove.org/lost/pet/fou...

Our coastlines are not only a massive economic driver, they’re part of our identity as Californians. That’s why as a State Senator, I fought to end offshore drilling off our coastline after the ‘21 HB oil spill. In Congress, I’ll keep standing up to Trump’s reckless attempts to open up drilling.

>> @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom: Offshore drilling is overwhelmingly opposed by members of all political parties in the state of California.” It’s dead on arrival.

Eve when the NYT doesn’t have a clear ideological axe to grind, its perceived value as a news org is inversely proportional to how familiar you are to whatever subject it’s reporting on.

Ever since Trump arrived in DC, Pelosi, has confounded him. He has tried to intimidate, undermine and embarrass her. Those efforts more often than not backfired. Pelosi seemed not only unintimidated, but also permanently appalled + deeply unimpressed. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Curtis Yarvin is planning flee the country. Steve Bannon is worried about returning to prison. Don't listen to anyone who says the fascists have already won. The future is not yet written.

Please do your most basic job responsibility and open the federal government.
