Thank you Cory Booker!

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

The fight against President Musk (and Kennedy Center chairman Trump) is just starting. We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement. Together, we have the power to stop MAGA’s takeover. app.sosha.ai/s/jpQuc3RK

Trans people have a right to play sports.

President Trump does NOT have a right to hold federal funding hostage to his unlawful agenda.

Federal prisons prep to move trans inmates as early as next week The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.

The bullying, cruelty, and inhumanity is breathtaking. This administration cannot erase the fact that gender is more complex than male and female, but it can damage a lot of lives while trying.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Sounds GREAT to me.

Buy independent.

The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) was supposedly carefully crafted to consider all interested parties, but somehow, some people were still left out in the cold. I wish I understood how this happened and how future #climate legislation could avoid this pitfall!

California farms fail as land values plunge amid groundwater crisis With aquifers nationwide in dangerous decline, an estimated 500,000 acres of farmland may be taken out of cultivation by 2040

No wonder so many who make their living in agriculture are skeptical of or outright hostile to climate/environmental legislation (water.ca.gov/programs/gro...)! How can legislators protect the environment with greater sensitivity to all interested parties?

The Attack on Trans Rights Won’t End There Once legal rights begin to fall, they fall for everyone.

The MAGA attack on trans rights is, at best, small-minded and cruel. Defend trans rights, even if you don’t think you know any trans folks.
