Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Newsom to attend UN climate summit in Brazil as Trump skips This marks the first time the Democratic governor and likely presidential contender will attend the summit, which begins Nov. 10.

As Trump betrays people and the planet, I’m headed next week to the U.N.’s COP30 climate conference in Brazil.

I’ll be joining our international partners to strengthen California’s climate commitments and showcase how our climate action is creating more jobs, cleaner air, and lower costs.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Don't take the bait and engage with these gov accounts, simply block. You can subscribe to this block list or use the list to block individually. But either way I do NOT want to see y'all dunking on these accounts which are clearly here just to antagonize us and spread propaganda.

11.5M+ California households will automatically see refunds on their October electric bill thanks to California's Climate Credit.

And it doesn't stop there.

Up to $60B will return to Californians' pockets going forward, cutting electric bills while moving to cleaner energy.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Poll: Capitalism is out … and socialism is in The movement is gaining popularity among Democrats, a left-leaning group found.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

Denmark close to wiping out leading cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out A nationwide study suggests infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 have been virtually eliminated since vaccination began in 2008 – protecting even unvaccinated women.

Denmark close to wiping out leading cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out www.gavi.org/vaccineswork...

"Before vaccination, the prevalence of HPV was between 15 & 17%, which has decreased in vaccinated women to less than one percent by 2021."

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Trump Is Blinding the Government to Methane Pollution. But Others Are Still Watching. ‘If people could see this with their bare eyes, none of this would be happening.’

The Trump administration's assault on climate policy is more thoroughly destructive than any previous GOP government, upending scientific research and data collection while simultaneously dismantling regulatory rules and their enforcement.
