California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Microbes in groundwater are consuming enough methane to rival all wetland emissions combined.
But we're drilling deeper and pumping harder than this ancient filter can handle.

183 million years ago, runaway methane killed 80% of marine life. Now we have a choice.

Fired but Fighting (National Public Health Coalition) @firedbutfighting.bsky.social · 18d

Statement from NPHC and FBF:
Late in the evening of October 10th, hundreds of staff at CDC received RIF notices. Entire programs were eliminated, including those that track important health statistics, handle communications to the public, & even more leadership across the agency.
1/4 🧵

Continuing to dismantle the CDC puts American lives at risk. In the event of an emergency, America is no longer prepared to respond swiftly or effectively. Programs that keep Americans healthy, safe, and secure are being destoryed. Even if you don’t see it, public health is working in the background to protect all Americans. Public health is non-partisan, but it is being used to fight a political battle.

It’s the first of the month, a day that brings dread and uncertainty for so many struggling tenants.

And for the 2+ million New Yorkers in stabilized apartments, this month means another rent hike — the fourth in a row under this Mayor.

But change is coming.

Great overview of police brutality against CA journalists.

LA alone accounts for "nearly half of all press freedom violations reported nationwide so far this year"!

We must hold the line here.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This move will hurt workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, and will put veteran care at risk.
