ICE thrives on intimidation & fear. CA is saying: not here, not now, not ever.
We commend @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social Gavin Newsom for signing a historic package of bills that protect children in schools, patients in hospitals, immigrant families across the state.

“Cruz's unsubstantiated claim is part of a yearslong effort by the fossil-fuel industry and its allies to fight lawsuits that state and local governments have filed against oil and gas companies.”

Ted Cruz claims without evidence that China is funding U.S. climate lawsuits

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz has said China is funding climate lawsuits against American oil and gas companies to weaken the U.S. He hasn't provided evidence to support the claim.

At the UN today Trump called climate change the ‘greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.’

Congrats to the clever plotters for enlisting the planet’s glaciers, oceans and forests in their scheme.
