Nothing beats @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social pushing a $100 billion water tunnel that threatens ecosystems, tribal lands, and Delta communities.๐Ÿ˜Š

Despite opposition from tribes, environmental groups, and locals, the state keeps releasing distractions like โ€œaccountability plans.โ€

The Delta is rich because we have YOU! ๐Ÿซถ

Together, we are a powerful voice for Delta communities, ecosystems, and future generations. Letโ€™s keep showing @governor.ca.gov that we will continue speaking out against harmful projects like the Delta Tunnel.

Weโ€™re officially in Donald Trumpโ€™s mad king era All the books that are fit to cook.

The BLS did exactly what it's supposed to do: provide accurate, nonpartisan data. When the numbers showed Trump's "economic boom" was actually a bust (33k jobs vs claimed 291k), he fired the messenger. After all, when it rains too much, true leaders fire the meteorologists.

DID YOU KNOW? ๐Ÿง

In an average year, California diverts more than 50% of the Central Valley river flows BEFORE they reach the San Francisco Bay. In dry years, that number rises to over 70%.

Our team continues to oppose the project with expert analysis from partners like @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social.

This is another post breaking down our last post.

The Justice Departmentโ€™s decision to fire a judge-appointed U.S. Attorney and reinstate Trumpโ€™s preferred pick, without Senate confirmation, isnโ€™t just unusual. Itโ€™s a direct attack on the separation of powers that defines American democracy.

๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: A new report by Californians for Water Impact Network reveals the Delta Tunnel could cost up to $100 billion, five times more than what DWR claims.

We must ask ourselves who truly profits from the project, and who will eventually pay the price?

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Theyโ€™re chasing quotas, not criminals!

The former head of Chicagoโ€™s immigration court, fired by Trump, is finally speaking out. A new lawsuit accuses the administration of unlawfully targeting documented immigrants who were already showing up to court, just so ICE could hit arrest quotas.

Exclusive: Trump's funding cut stalls water projects, increasing risks for millions The Trump administration's decision to slash nearly all U.S. foreign aid has left dozens of water and sanitation projects half-finished across the globe, creating new hazards for some of the people they were designed to benefit, Reuters has found.

A story from my world. USAID funds were committed by Congress to support providing safe #water and sanitation to millions of people.
Trump and the GOP eliminated those funds. People will die as a result.

Today, @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social responded to our press release via X, attempting to push forward the Delta Conveyance Project.A recent report by EcoNorthwest shows the Delta tunnel will cost $60 to $116 billion and that DWR's cost benefit analysis is incomplete.
