Biomedical research saves lives, drives economic growth and creates jobs—but a new NIH policy will cut critical funding for institutions engaged in life-saving research. Email your lawmakers and ask them to protect research funding! #SaveNIHresearch https://t.co/8qJcJ7cbDh

Hardworking families & local governments are at the brink - we can't afford to keep paying for climate disasters while fossil fuel companies continue to enjoy record profits & pay billions $ to Trump & GOP to destroy clean energy & boost fossil fuel production. #MakePollutersPay

.@AsmRepublicans are taking Zbur's comments completely out of context to parrot tired oil company threats: that #AB1243 will raise gas prices & shut down refineries.
Economists across country have explained bill will not do that. As usual, the GOP ignores experts in favor of BS

[California Assembly Republicans @AsmRepublicans]

Assemblyman Rick Zbur (D–West Hollywood):

“I don’t see how this doesn’t raise gas prices or shut down refineries.”

Also Zbur: Votes YES on #AB1243.

Yet, he backed it knowing the consequences.

If you’re wondering why California is unaffordable, @AssemblyDems are why 👇🏾

This bill is an opportunity to invest in California - rebuilding, home hardening, construction #jobs building clean, climate resilient communities, support for teachers, firefighters, nurses, and farmworkers on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

I live in #Altadena. I still don't have potable water. If you turned on the water, where is it? @realDonaldTrump 🙄

Millions will see this Donald Trump post.

So few will see this post from the California Department of Water Resources.

While I'm discouraged that my fellow citizens elected a criminal as their president, I'm proud that I downplayed his criminality enough to maintain my status as a neutral reporter.

Calgary stopped adding fluoride to its water in 2011.

Biden should resign so Harris becomes 47 and Donald has to throw out all his 47 swag

Initial exit polls indicate that around 80% of US Jews who voted cast their ballot for Kamala Harris.

If those numbers hold, that’s a historically high proportion.

American Jews have always fought for civil rights, and will continue to do so no matter what challenges Trump’s administration may bring.

The climate crisis is the most tragic mass extinction event to ever face Planet Earth, even though it isn't the worst.

Why?

Well, because it was voted for. We chose it. The dinosaurs didn't vote for the meteor.

We know what is happening. We know how to fix it.

We don't care.

Perhaps I started my criminal investigations of Trump a bit too late. But I'm comfortable that my successor Aileen Cannon will keep them going.

Fascism has come to America, and as predicted, it is wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.

America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist.

With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America.

If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.
