The federal government won’t support climate resilience while Trump is president. We need state & local leaders to step up to fill the void & they can start by making good on the Promise of Prop 4, which seemed to be left out of the budget conversation as Newsom rammed through CEQA reform.
The irony of state officials decrying the negative environmental impacts expected from federal funding cuts and policy changes, while Newsom and the state Legislature gut CA's signature environmental laws. #climatechange #ceqa

This is disgusting. 🤮 The hubris of it all. These people need some serious psychiatric help…and to think that they are celebrated and allowed to amass such power and wealth… 🤦🏼♀️ 😬
👏🏻 @edithdeguzman.bsky.social sorry I missed out on Friday but excited to visit with my family during a Celebration of Cool.
So trump will mobilize the National Guard to hunt down migrant children, but not to find American children swept away in a flood they should have been warned about?
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.
Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.
Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today
Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection
Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.
This all comes down to policy choices.
Do we want a nation with policies rooted in cruelty and punishment?
Or do we want a nation with policies rooted in kindness and compassion?
This is the choice before us.
Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.
Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.
LA produces all of your Made In The USA apparel and fabric. LA is the port for most of your goods and produce. LA makes and the USA takes, baby.
dustin on Twitter: “look at the resources they're willing to commit to terrorize people but not feed or house people”
A 30-day strike and consumer boycott would stop this pretty quickly...
1 in 12 Americans live in California.
1 in 35 Americans live in LA County.
LA is America
Rep. Gomez: LA County alone is 34% foreign born, 34%. So when he says they're going to liberate us, who is he going to liberate us from? Ourselves?
Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.
And women are too emotional to lead?!
Not to mention the demand for water that can equal the usage of a medium city - just for a single facility!

Over here watching all the people who thought they’d be raptured follow the false prophet… 👀
"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.
Another historic transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top
"If Donald Trump were a country, he’d be Qatar." @davidmastio.bsky.social totally nails this: They're both morally flexible, they both stiff workers, they both hired Pam Bondi as a lobbyist, and tons more biting parallels that are a joy to read. 😂
