There are 26,000 polar bears left on the planet. By the end of the century, climate change could bring them to extinction as the melting of the Arctic increases: buff.ly/3HnL4Yi

Why noise pollution is bad for your heart

The roar of traffic, aircraft and even ringing telephones are linked to negative health effects. Now scientists are starting to unravel what all this noise is doing to our bodies.

I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

Wow. As cis queer woman (aka lesbian), I find this hugely upsetting.

Medicaid, Medicare, Affordable Care Act, and Social Security service should remain steady. But states may have to fund the WIC program.

How you could be affected by the federal government shutdown

Most healthcare safety net programs expected to continue, but nutrition program WIC could run out of money.

Are we in America’s Civil War 2.0?
I’m not so sure we are not.
Military sent to cities that clearly are peaceful but advertised otherwise. ICE agents zip tying little kids. Radio silence from GOP. 🤦🏻‍♀️

What a great person she was.
Someone who walked the walk.
She cared about the planet, the environment and all of its inhabitants.
Which she showed in so many ways, including being vegan.

Workers at Wafler Farms are fed up. They've been waiting for two years since they first voted for the UFW to get their contract, but all the company gives them is delays. Sign their petition demanding Wafler sign the contract now.

So frustrating!

I tried to get uneven Orange/Red line spacing fixed in my last year on BART Board but didn’t succeed, and it seems to be getting worse. I sometimes run to make a train so I don’t wait nearly 20 minutes for next one.

If this bothers you too please contact BART or speak at a meeting.

17 minute wait at peak rush hour 5 PM for a Richmond @bart.gov train is ridiculus

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 11d

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

You have an opportunity to make a huge difference by voting Yes on CAs prop 50. Trump is redistricting TX to get 5 more seats so Republicans can continue to control the house. We must do the same in CA or we could have 2 more years of the current oppressive racism. #YesOnProp50
