BREAKING: We're challenging the Trump administration’s sweeping suspension of immigrant visa processing for people from 75 countries.

This discriminatory, nationality-based ban on legal immigration strips families and working people of the process guaranteed by law.

A Good Grammys For Bad Bunny Does any of this matter? For most of this year’s Grammys telecast, I could not shake the feeling that no, it really doesn’t make a difference who wins these trophies — maybe in terms of opening doors ...

I wrote about Bad Bunny's triumph and the anti-ICE Grammys

We said we’d see them in court, and we meant it.

Today, we filed to block the Trump-Vance admin’s sweeping suspension of immigrant visa processing for people from 75 countries – on behalf of immigrant families, workers, and legal assistance groups.

My letter on the @financialtimes.com story on BP/Shell’s climate rollbacks is now published.

The key takeaway: most investors should recognize that the interests of major polluters are often at odds with their own long-term portfolio interests—and should act accordingly.

Let's keep taking care of each other. ICE out of Minnesota and out of our communities.

Ties between California and Venezuela go back more than a century with Chevron Chevron, the oil giant founded and until recently headquartered in California, is the only foreign petroleum company still operating in Venezuela and its largest foreign investor.

Big Oil and Donald Trump are happily scheming to profit off the backs of vulnerable communities globally: “Trump has made no secret about his willingness to help U.S. oil companies “drill, baby, drill” — so long as they serve his interests.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

California coastal communities threatened by federal calls to drill | Opinion “While our communities suffer from ongoing spills that threaten our public health, Trump is making federal calls to increase drilling.”

Trump’s “Drill baby drill” agenda puts our public health and climate in danger. Lawmakers returning to Sacramento must stand with CA’s most vulnerable communities facing aggressive national calls to increase drilling. www.sanluisobispo.com/opinion/read...

As DACA endures unprecedented attacks, Congress has now reintroduced the DREAM Act, a bipartisan solution that provides long-overdue stability and permanent protections for immigrant youth.

✨NEW: @governor.ca.gov is right to emphasize affordability as a pillar of climate progress, but it’s puzzling when he vetoes cost-effective clean energy solutions. Read more from @elliecohen.bsky.social: https://loom.ly/KOCjhcY

Boycotting T-Mobile: Trump ties, Musk money, and why I’m switching Nov 15 YouTube video by Eliza Orlins

I’ve been a T-Mobile customer for years. But the T stands for Trump now.

They carry Trump Mobile, killed DEI to please Trump’s FCC, union-bust, backed policies that strip healthcare, and are funneling millions to Musk.

I’m canceling my plan on Nov 15. Join me

Gov. Newsom just handed Kern County to polluters.
With SB 237, he approved up to 2,000 new oil drill sites every year — poisoning families, worsening the climate crisis, and breaking his own promises.

Kern County residents deserve clean air, not corporate favors.

@teslatakedown.com

Pledge to Hang Up on T-Mobile T-Mobile is siding with the Trump Administration and far-right extremists like Elon Musk. It’s time for people of conscience to find a better phone carrier.

Have you signed the pledge? We asked T-Mobile to break up with Elon. Instead, they bear-hugged the entire far-right. Sign the pledge, tell your friends and we'll drop together on November 15. #BoycottTmobile #TeslaTakedown

Why do we say #BoycottTMobile?

T-Mobile has claimed they aim to “be a force for good” but their actions have shown otherwise.
