since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

Ossoff: "When the congressman voted for this Medicaid cuts, the largest in history, he knew that 50% of all births in our state are covered by Medicaid. He still voted for them. And as a result, a labor and delivery unit in his own district had to shut down. He also supports a total ban on abortion"

We’re not changing it.

They're literally paying to shut down wind projects that are already built. These aren't projects stuck in permitting, waiting on approval, or tied up in review. They're built, operational, and ready to connect to the grid. And yet the Trump Administration is paying to tear them down anyway.

A tale of three 1946 - 2026. 👀 I rest my case.

The White House fired me for being transgender. In 2013 I became the first CIA officer to successfully transition. I worked for Mike Pence for a year. Then I volunteered to serve the second Trump White House.

In recent weeks, there has been a remarkable surge in large, intense, fast-moving, and unfortunately in many cases destructive/deadly wildfires in multiple Northern Hemisphere regions spanning a wide range of climates & ecologies, but they all share one key commonality. [Thread]

New Weather West post is now out: Exceptionally broad and persistent west-central U.S. ridging to bring periods of elevated heat and monsoon moisture to CA and the SW, with record heat across Intermountain West. Plus: dry lightning risk in California?

Your cause will lose people it desperately needs to long covid, and when you hit a point you truly need every body on your side, it will be too late. And it is almost entirely avoidable with basic protections.

It’s nice to see people happy together about something positive. It seems like a small and insignificant thing, but it’s not.

I dropped my ballot off at the 4S Ranch county library dropbox

For a few minutes each year, sunlight makes this Yosemite waterfall look like a river of fire.😍

86 47, totally agree

I feel like we're at a point where the fake TACO markets will no longer be able to withstand the actual oil shortages. I'm by no means an expert, but I think the pump and dump party is over.

Political candidates should not be sending out more than one email a day, every day, asking for money. Especially seven months from an election. Uncle.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

A University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa study shows that Waikīkī faces increasing sewage flood risks from sea-level rise through storm-drain backflow and groundwater emergence. The findings call for updated flood strategies focused on contamination, not just surface damage and economic loss.

Hey Bluesky. I just posted my first article on Substack. And this makes my first Bluesky post. Check it out and share it if you like Let the games begin. 🙃 www.therealmccabe.com/p/kash-patel...

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

Another war Trump is losing.

I call it “the weave”, and it costs human lives.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Thank you, and stay classy, San Diego!

I'm so glad Rep Casten is in Congress.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Andy McCabe could do the funniest thing right now.

It’s just banger after banger from @people.com right now. Bodying every other national news outlet:

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them. But this one hit today. And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon. fascism wrapped in our own flag
