The most pressing question: What is your Response-Ability to the major challenges we face? Individual actions, compassionate responses, substantive participation in major movements can advance equity, healing & sustainability, restoring connections to each other & nature.

@tonykatz Government agencies provide services mandated by laws. Those laws were passed by Congresses and signed by Presidents. American citizens elected those Congresses and Presidents. Why don't YOU stand up for that?

@SFBART why is the Berryessa-bound train approaching Bayfair going so slow? It's just a little rain!

Also, where else can we find your updates and contact you besides Twitter, so we don't have to support this hyper-partisan oligarch's propaganda platform?

And the original fb post by Philip Low explaining why his former friend, Elon Musk, did 2 Nazi salutes even though he's not a Nazi, in the context of Musk's entire career which is about dishonest manipulation for wealth and power.

For all the people still believing that Elon Musk is a patriotic force for good, or will make America greater, or a champion of free speech, or those weren't Nazi salutes!, or he's a genius inventor and brilliant businessman, here's the perspective of someone who knows him well.

[Fred Werner @SustainableFred]

And here's the rest of the post from Musk's former friend, explaining who Elon Musk is, how/why he's manipulating people to expand his own wealth & power, and why he did 2 obviously Nazi salutes even though he's not a Nazi.

@tonykatz @93wibc Sadly, Beshear's statement is completely wrong about how we treat health care in America currently.

But he's 100% right about how we should.

@floridanow1 @bennyjohnson The original plan was to name it Marshall Airport, remindomg all European visitors that America not only saved them in WWII, but generously rebuit them w/the Marshall Plan.

Republicans changed that when JF Dulles fell ill, just like they renamed National when Reagan was dying.

@georgesantos @bennyjohnson Are you back on social media? I thought you were still in prison. Or did Trump pardon you, too?

[Fred Werner @SustainableFred]

@Sessler @bennyjohnson Thanks for affirming how many conservatives love virtue-signalling.

[Fred Werner @SustainableFred]

@bennyjohnson Oh great. Republicans hijack yet another DC airport's name to pat themselves on the back. Before long, locals won't be able to call ANY of their airports by their technically official names.

@DerrickEvans4WV It gets worse. The Amazon River is also purposely being redirected, sending enough water into the ocean to put out 10,000 Los Angeles fires. Newsom REFUSES to turn the valve on that, too. Let's recall him!!

@BenDempsey18 @AesPolitics1 Decreased enrollment hurts school budgets. Most districts receive state funding on a per-pupil basis. Fewer students = less $, but almost all costs are fixed. Until you downsize or close schools (a long, painful process), there's almost no savings from being "less crowded".

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Trump’s solution to water in California: “All they have to do is turn the valve.” 🥴

Here are some facts about California water, and it doesn’t involve just turning on a valve so that water can flow south to Los Angeles.

@Pheenix_Born @BernieSanders Bernie was responding to a post about healthcare quoting Trump as saying Canadians would get better healthcare coverage. That's it. That's the one single topic that started this single thread. And on this topic, Bernie is absolutely right, and Trump is 1000% wrong.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Better health coverage?

If Canadians became U.S. citizens they would lose their free health care, pay nearly three times more for their prescription drugs, and many of them wouldn’t be able to get coverage at all.

Something tells me they won’t be interested.

@JarlsbergJohnny @RunRalphietb12 @tonykatz @realDonaldTrump And when all else fails, now you say it just doesn't matter.

BTW - are you capable of posting a single tweet without an insult or a vulgarity? Not only do they fail to cover for the lack of substance, they make you sound unhinged, hateful and arrogant.

[Fred Werner @SustainableFred]

@SFBART is there a corrected link for your traffic safety survey? The QR code on the sign at Hayward opened a web page that requires an ArcGIS login.

[Fred Werner @SustainableFred]

@JarlsbergJohnny @RunRalphietb12 @tonykatz @realDonaldTrump What are you even arguing at this point? I agreed with you that the Iraq war was launched on false pretenses, promoted by both parties (with a few Dem exceptions). And I agreed with you that "freedom fries" was an angry response to France's opposition to our unjust war.
