CA under Newsom is America. The US under trump fascist republicans is shithole Russia.

Life, monitoring weather hazards, watching for asteroid & space debris impacts, geologists, astrophysisists, oceanographers are part of a team that monitors & addresses concerns as they develop. They are a lifeline to averting disaster And someone has to enable them to carry on their work. /2

California is investing in its future and the rest of the country will eventually see it. Mean while in Fly Over Missouri, education funding remains flat.

No.

Vote NO! Any bill where the purpose is to make up for what the Trump admin took from CA, MUST include a legal method for CA to deduct it from it's contribution to the Fed.

If blue states kept the money they pay into the federal government in their own coffers they could afford free HC and two years of free Collage for the people in the states. Why are blue states paying for red state welfare and dismantled departments like FEMA, DOE, etc.

Kind of like what the NIH did before they were gutted?

Who is California Bill ?

Not if your only choices are a Republican or a billionaire. They’ll roll back every gain made in the last few years.

Wait-- How are they going to fund that AND three miles of HSR?

Caliyos slowly splitting away from the fed govt. It's doing things only a country would do. It's time to move on. Louisiana shouldn't determine what happens to us.

I think the only reason California doesn't secede for the US is that they don't have room for all the same people to move there. But hey, if they can convince the MAGA group to move to Florida, all expenses paid...

I all for it. Bring all the best scientists to California and then secede.

If dump won’t we will FDT

Tax the rich!

What’s actually in California’s $23 billion science research bond? Understand and engage with it on Amendment.

A good idea. Especially since Republicans hate science and critical thinking. It makes people think twice before voting for fascists.

I’ll vote for it.

In an era of rapid change, this is what long-term thinking looks like: building the capacity to solve tomorrow’s problems today. 3/

If approved, it could turn public universities into even stronger engines of innovation, talent, and breakthrough ideas that don’t just serve California, but ripple across the world. 2/

A $23B investment in California’s university research system would be a bold bet on the future — not just funding labs, but accelerating discovery in medicine, climate science, AI, and clean energy. 1/

👏👏👏👏

Good idea

California could literally secede from the union and become its own progressive, prosperous and educated nation. The understanding of the critical need for research leading to life-changing solutions is a huge priority. The lack of our current admin's awareness for that need is an epic failure.

Here's to Californians proving they're the intelligent adults in the room. MAGAGOP trumpians turning America into a backward, illiterate nation ripe for even more exploitation from within & without. Hope it passes.

Thank God for California!

So long as the billionaires are posting for it.

In this spirit I thought this was a great statement: bsky.app/profile/mich...

CA ! Never vote Republican! Don’t let those Republican Billionaires get elected Governor! They’ll destroy your state! Whatever BS they’re campaigning on, they’re Project 2025 & Trumpers.

Dollar for dollar, THE finest higher education system on Earth. #ScholarsChampionsandLaureates

say yes

The economic damage caused during Green Party politician Robert Habeck’s time in office continues to be felt in Germany to this day. Even after his departure from the government, Germany continues to suffer the consequences of his disastrous energy and economic policies.

More excited to vote for this than governor tbh

Do we get the profits from the research, or will those continue to the privatized?

Have blue states join it.

Why did the California legislature betray its citizens by failing to use their supermajority to enact single-payer healthcare when it recently came up for a vote? Everyone with a D next to their name isn’t on your side. Name, shame, and primary the hell out of those who didn’t deliver a yes vote.

Investing in education and research is investing in the future. This could open the door to major breakthroughs, innovation, and opportunities for generations to come.

More and more I'm feeling like states, cities, counties, etc.... should do more things like this instead of relying on the federal government, which we now know is very fickle.

Money laundering in plain sight.

Save R and D in this country!

Good!! And that image is my extremely handsome alma mater… #FiatLux

Hopefully, the universities will own the patents, and when this corporations come and take that research so they can make money out of these research, universities will own a substantial part of the money made from these research and not the shareholders

Well then, the Epstein class wouldn't have to donate so much. Will tuition go down? will they pay the grad students appropriately? These institutions make so much fucking money they should have to fund research on behalf of the voter.

I think it's a great idea, idk where they'll get the money, but maybe they can find it somewhere.

I thought CA has a housing and health care crisis and they want to spend this much on research. Only in CA I guess.

Needed while Trump dumps on science.

Brilliant California. Make it so❤️

Good idea.

California ran out of billionaires with extra income it seems.

Is California Bill on the ballot? I’d vote for that dude!

And yet they don’t fund their K-12 public education adequately

Better hope you get a Democratic Governor elected, otherwise, well you know.....

🗽

Interesting we need so much research when the planet was presented to us in perfect shape. The human lasts as long as it is able, let it be. NOPE! Fucked it all up💯

How about reducing tuition and fees to the UC for California residents first?

*glares jealously from Ohio*

Gotta make up for DOGE *somehow*. Too bad the rest of the U.S. is f***ed. MAGA!

Guess our scientists from the Red States will move to CA

If you want to cheer, Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) submitted the bill. Even if Newsom signs it, it just puts up a ballot initiative that conservatives will spend huge $ to try to convince voters it steals food from their children.

It should be paid for by redirecting Californians’ fed taxes directly to our State until we get some good faith federal representation.
