I hope we'll be celebrating California Independence Day soon. #calexit

America is two-faced. We object to annexation and mass murder when the Russians do it in Ukraine, but supply the arms for Israel to do it in Palestine. Californians can do better.

It's a small step in the direction of independence. We can do better. #calexit

Your blinders to ethnic cleansing make this sound a bit hollow.

Israel has killed 50,000+ Palestinians in their latest round of ethnic cleansing and driven many more to the edge of starvation. We should be arming the Palestinians, not the Israelis.

It's a minor temporary fix for a more fundamental problem. California needs its independence.

This is a band-aid. A necessary band-aid, but California needs its independence.

It is only going to get worse, and that is clearly the intention.

California needs independence.

Fascism is going to win this battle, I suspect. In the end, Trump will ignore the courts. However, California could still win the war if it's willing to fight.

California needs independence. Put the referendum on the ballot.

Independence is the only long-term defense against US fascism.

We should be ready to go it alone. Put the referendum on California's independence on the ballot.

American values, but not California's. We can do better. Put independence on the ballot.

That's true, this sort of aesthetic really makes everyone wonder when he'll release the Trump-Epstein files.

No deal with Trumpstein is worth the paper it is printed on.

The man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly weren’t accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1500%.

A maniacal wizard grows mini-mimics inside real potions of healing--because why not cause your players nightmares after the session?

Warm congrats to Michele Dougherty, the new Astronomer Royal of England. A very good choice, and the first woman to be appointed to that lofty position since the Royal Observatory, , Greenwich was founded in 1675.

California should take the contracts and build affordable housing so when this xenophobic mini-Hitler is out of office, we'll have something useful.

The Canadians are a good people, and Palestine has suffered decades of ethnic cleansing and annexation. It's good to see more nations standing with victims of military aggression, whether in Ukraine or Palestine.
