'Champing at the bit': Newsom's labor allies plan redistricting ground game Powerhouse California unions and advocacy groups are gearing up for a massive campaign.

An expansive network of labor juggernauts and Democratic-aligned groups is pledging to help the campaign to gerrymander California’s congressional map with its ground game and field operation.

I’m not even vaguely a Biblical Scholar but where in the Bible does it say “ earth is an enemy”?

Actually, I believe that we can attribute the Indian Wars of the 1880s to white supremacy, greed and a total disregard for the human rights of anyone who looks different than those in power at the time. Yea, white as I am, I’m talkin’ about white people…

I read the Bible and that’s not what God was saying. Your interpretation is off. The point was that God had provided everything for them to enjoy without pain and sin. The Sin brought about real life. He’s not being negative about the world, He simply changed the way they would navigate it.

That's the Christian dogma. Judaism states that people are put on the earth to be stewards and caretakers of the planet. The Judeo-Christian concept is a myth. They're two very different religions.

Every couple of days it stops me dead in my tracks and knocks the breath out of me to realize how bad things are gonna get for how many people in how many ways, and how it is all down to the petty insane whims of one of the worst people America has ever produced.

THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A MASTERMIND OF TRADE. WE ARE NOW PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE FOR OUR BASIC NEEDS. YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE TO LOWER PRICES ON DAY ONE BUT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PROMISE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILE, SIR!!

I don’t see him anywhere in the picture though.

A Ukrainian defender has returned home from the front. At last, he embraces his son. But even this moment is overshadowed by the sound of air alerts and the threat of russian attacks💔

Without flowers, bees cannot survive. Without bees, we too will disappear. Every flower is vital: flowers feed bees. Bees pollinate plants. Plants provide us with food, oxygen, and medicine. It's not just about saving the bees, but also our own existence.

A functioning democratic system would have an immune response fully rejecting anyone who would even joke about becoming a dictator as president. You don't get to run for or hold office. You are removed. Full stop. That's how seriously the poison of authoritarianism should be considered.

Whales are dying, but it’s not because of wind farms Investigating a whale beaching is grueling work, and scientists see the same culprit again and again.

There’s plenty of disinformation trying to blame the nascent offshore wind industry for whale deaths without evidence. Not only is that misleading, it also takes the focus away from solutions that might actually address the leading causes of death — vessel strikes and entanglement with fishing gear.

This is interesting. An interview with Epstein’s former neighbor.

Superstar Taylor Swift has announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce in a post on Instagram after two years of dating.

Antifa is everywhere.

A word to Trump... Gavin Newsom:

"We have been getting a lot of attention on Fox News lately, but here are some cold, hard FACTS you won't hear on that network.

💰 Middle class families in California pay LESS in taxes than in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas."

The whole state? That would take every agency and military personnel they have, and even then they will be outnumbered and unable to control all of us.

They will occupy Seattle for a while and claim victory, then trickle out.

Or, be forced out. Their choice.

bondi should be disbarred

Pamela Jo Bondi is an embarrassment to the justice system.
Thanks for speaking up.

Always nice to hear a reasoned and fact based defense of policy. Don’t give an inch when the constitution and right is on your side.

Ferguson is clear, professional, and a statesman. Bondi is a trump thug that approaches OUR ELECTED officials with threats and intimidation.
This does NOT fly in OUR UNITED States of America. Bondi is a lacky who does NOT have power over our Governors/state legislators. Kudos to Ferguson.

Pam Bondi, white trash AG, deserves to be disbarred, at a minimum, and criminally prosecuted as well.
