Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

as soon as there were gonna be financial consequences for the lies unless *evidence* was shown, he backed down

a good question for the media is.. why not START by asking 'where's the evidence for what you're saying?' 👏every 👏time?"

reality will take them down if you make them face it

Been into town to pick up a couple of fruit salad bowls from Daniel at the Ruby Blue Cafe. I have a few care package vouchers Jane organised for me when I was sick and some for my birthday. It looks small but they’re a great size and so fresh. It’s all about eating healthy tucker now😋😋🙏Ian

Worth considering that these people probably got in politics specifically so they could tell public servants they are work shy
Labour hate working people, particularly those in the public sector. Every year productivity goes up, wages are cut because they don't rise with inflation and they demand you put in more work.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

End all funding every single private employment services provider.

Salt the earth so those in change of them never get any public money ever again - run them out of the country.

Get rid of mutual obligations

Bring back the CES

Raise the fricken rate

Ain’t hard.

Trump recklessly destroyed the East Wing of the White House, even when he said he wouldn't.

Just like Project 25 is destroying our country, even when he said he never heard of it.

Trump didn't want us to see this image so I say we share it.
I'm making it my BlueSky banner.
