I touched base with a colleague who worked under Becerra when he was California AG. Said he was rock solid on health stuff. He has great experience. I’m almost convinced. Have to look at Open Secrets to see if he takes a lot of corporate $ tho
💯 And to add insult to (literal) injury, in #San Francisco there’s a rabid subgroup of drivers who, like abusive partners, attribute their dangerous driving to the city’s feeble efforts at safe bike infrastructure, which have so frustrated cars that they are forced to use their cars as weapons
The billionaire’s personal “consultant,” paid with our tax dollars
Eight headlines tracing Tucker Carlson’s journey from hating Trump to loving Trump to calling him the antichrist to being attacked by Trump to apologizing for helping elect him

RIGHT NOW -- Veterans are being arrested in #washingtondc after peacefully demanding an end to the War on Iran. @vetsaboutface
Disabled ppl watching nondisabled ppl reminisce with touching melancholy about how lonely they were due to covid but then still refuse to wear a mask like 😐
Right now the tobacco industry is exercising very aggressive moves with impunity, having gotten the entire CDC Office on Smoking & Health eliminated. More people hooked for Big Tobacco
nearly all of these MAHA influencers are being compensated by tobacco companies, and very few disclose it. in many cases, they are marketing to children. nicotine pouches harm child brain development.
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.

‘Quality of life’ isn’t a big house, luxury goods or a fancy car. It’s being able to cycle your kids on safe streets or run side by side down peaceful roads with your friends. Everyone can & should have this.
White patriarchy having a surge in NZ too, it seems
What a shocking change from the Ardern government we all admired from across the world
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
In the mid-20th century, NYC planners were convinced that the solution to their traffic woes was that building one more bridge or one more tunnel would ease congestion of their epic traffic jams because the new artery would reduce pressure on the existing ones. Instead, they discovered that traffic expanded to meet each new roadway. In Alexandria we seem to believe that making our primary thoroughfares more attractive to a few more bike commuters and changing the timing of traffic signals will offset the off-the-charts increase in housing density planned for development in the coming years.
The neighborhood listserv bike lane complainers are *so close* to getting it

This messaging really is hostile to people with chronic pain who need comfortable, quality shoes but may not be able to run.
Weird how they never do this in areas where Trump won!
DOJ Office of Civil Rights seem very focused on districts with a lot of Black voters.
Buttigieg: “So much has changed, and the truth is they are destroying things right and left. They’re destroying a lot of good, important things. They’re destroying some useless things too, because they’re destroying everything. So now we get a chance to put things together on different terms.”
How much do you guys know about Jared?
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
I agree with all of David’s points here. We need massive changes to our system of government. What we have now is NOT for the people, but for the people in power, at our expense.
i was just saying to a friend a few days ago that trump's public opinion collapse opens up the field of possibilities in ways that are truly unpredictable. it is one thing for a president to be this popular at the *end* of their turn, but not even two years in?
We uncovered a vast surveillance empire whose untraceable tech has been used to target people in more than 100 countries, including the US. It has operated under the radar for decades.
Until now.
The US government paid $1 billion to kill a wind farm just because. Just absolute idiocy in every direction heatmap.news/energy/total...

The fight for the Boundary Waters isn’t over, it just looks a little different now. We will not give up. That would play right into their hands.
More perfect union: BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters. The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.
Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation.
For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.
