I just signed bipartisan laws to lower Californians' electricity costs, stabilize our gas supply, and provide a stable funding source for @cahsra.bsky.social's high-speed rail.

Millions of Californians will soon start saving billions on their energy costs, and the savings don’t stop there.

California is rejecting RFK Jr.'s baseless vaccine restrictions and issuing our own recommendations as part of the West Coast Health Alliance — rooted in evidence, safety, and shared by doctors across the nation.

We won't let the Trump Administration jeopardize our health.

Dehumanizing people who are already struggling is never the answer. Instead of rhetoric that harms, we should focus on empathy and solutions that restore dignity. If he had to walk a mile in the shoes of those on the streets, would his words be the same

POTUS and House Republicans are imposing their agenda on DC in a move that is purely political and does nothing to make the city better and safer for the residents who call DC home.

The Supreme Court says immigration agents may stop and question people they suspect are here illegally based on little more than working at a car wash, speaking Spanish or having brown skin.

When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong.

Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.

Vice President Harris meets with union workers in Iowa in September 2019.

Vice President Harris meets with union workers in Lansing, Michigan in October 2024.

This could reshape our understanding of ultrafast processes. Are there particular molecules or materials where this delay is especially significant?

Alba Fernandez @albafernandex.bsky.social · Aug 28

Absolutely, small actions matter a lot. In my experience, consistent engagement whether through community work, discussions, or volunteering can gradually influence perspectives. It’s not always immediate, but over time dialogue can foster understanding and reduce polarization

Alba Fernandez @albafernandex.bsky.social · Aug 28

Important reflection. It’s crucial to focus on constructive action rather than just assigning blame. How do you think individuals can effectively contribute to preventing a political shift to the right?

Tragically, that’s often the case. The lack of safe and legal routes forces people into dangerous situations, and too many lives are lost. ow can we create safe paths so tragedies like Parndorf don’t keep happening?😪

I get that! Another Champions League isn’t always impressive, especially considering the budget realities. How do you see the team balancing expectations and finances?

nteresting statement! Do you think this clear distinction from federal politics will matter to voters in Carinthia?

It’s unbelievable that such a vital profession like midwifery is facing drastic cuts in training funding. How can the care of mothers and newborns be ensured if education isn’t properly supported?
