A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles.

DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

Ah yes, the evil cabal of Antifa-billionaires and their grassroots-funded pawns are directing the largest peaceful protest in US history!

Has anyone gotten their George Soros check yet? We haven’t 😔 we keep having to buy frog costumes and make signs ourselves.

Oh, wait the Trump regime is lying???

I love how they all think that something or someone is “funding” it.

“Funding” 💰 it is something they would have to do

Democrats just do these things collectively and organically

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Not at all fun fact:

Health insurance premiums are going up for everyone next month 🚨 because Republicans cut Medicaid and Medicare in April

Either you yourself or your employer or both of you will be paying more

The remnants of Typhoon Halong which dodged Japan is going to “recurve” and supercharge West Coast storm today ☔️ ❄️

Powerful typhoon is set to trigger an unusually strong California storm

San Francisco’s rainiest day since winter is possible next week as energy from a recurving West Pacific typhoon dislodges cold air from Canada and whips up a storm along the West Coast.

The only way we save our country is through our numbers.

Trump and MAGA don't have the majority, not even close.

Overwhelm them with numbers. Resist everywhere. They are too reckless, incompetent, and self-destructive.

Also, divide and conquer. Many fissures, especially around Epstein.

If we had a functional DOJ, a functional Congress, and a functional supreme court actually enforcing the Emoluments Clause,

this would be stopped

but we don’t have those things 😑
