CA faces a potential climate disaster if SB 540 is not stopped. Powerful forces are pushing our senators to give away California's control over our energy to Trump/fossil fuel dependent coal-loving states. Our single state control protects us now.
Tell your Senators VOTE NO on SB 540.
Canada goes to the polls on April 28. Investigative journalist @justinling has a new series, Chaos Campaign, following the issues and events leading up to the election. Here's his story about how the different parties want to address one of the country's most challenging problems — the housing shortage. His conclusions: The Greens and New Democrats: Nonsense hokum. The Conservatives: Good, but incomplete. The Liberals: Great, but can we trust them? "The only thing to do now is to absolutely grill your local candidates on how they will, personally — not as a party — advocate for strong solutions to the housing crisis," Ling writes.
"We got into this mess because of endemic buck-passing and the ability for a small group of anti-development yahoos to hijack the conversation. The only way out of this is to demand accountability and make it clear that we want more homes."

Remembering that Canadian politics used to overtly involve more things like suitcases of cash being brought to the convention centres and hotels where party leadership elections were held, this one is really no surprise.
Really humorous though. Check out how the CBC found out about it. Also wonder about the Liberal party members who thought this would improve their party's ability to win an election.

Help get money out of California politics with SB 42, the California Fair Elections Act!
Public financing of campaigns is banned in CA. Hence, campaigns rely on small-dollar fundraising (think fundraising texts you’ve come to loathe) or big corporate and billionaire donors.
The California Fair Elections Act, SB 42, is the next big step toward making elections about ideas, not money.
Tell State Senator Scott Wiener to vote yes on SB 42. https://indivisiblesf.org/call-scripts/2025/4/1/wiener-yes-sb-42?mc_cid=33b0b2e100&mc_eid=8bb0a26139

Defend Social Security Against Trump/Musk! Contact your Members of Congress and tell them to defend our social security! https://buff.ly/no8GSgQ
They are crippling the system with cuts so they can use that frustration as a pretext for “privatizing” Social Security. This places each retiree's benefits at investment risk while increasing stock prices and vastly enriching investors who already hold large portfolios. Read more here. https://buff.ly/ri5AjV6

There's an election coming, and the purposeful, weaponized disinformation campaign from foreign governments has begun.
The #US #President has realized that his endorsement is radioactive -- and is engaging in reverse psychology as a result, endorsing #Carney instead of #Poilievre, hoping to prevent a #Liberal majority government.
The best way for you to fight against foreign interference is to #volunteer for your preferred local candidate.
Another one for the "Canada is better" file.

Shame on you, Gov. Newsom. By inviting right-wing fascists on your podcast, and throwing trans youth under the bus for them, you revealed your true colors. It truly is the year of the snake!

Why do the U.S. media and political classes continue to dismiss Trump's statements about taking over Canada as a distraction from the "real issues," rather than a genuine threat, and a scandal? wonders Asawin Suebsaeng for @RollingStone. Here's his story about the erosion of decency in the United States, some of the evidence that Trump's threats are serious, and how the damage has already been done. "It is, or at least it should be, a damp stain on our national conscience, and your average outraged Canadian is responding rationally," Suebsaeng writes.

Gov. Newsom has betrayed trans youth in CA & across the nation in a shocking podcast with Charlie Kirk. Newsom happily agreed with Kirk about banning transgender kids in sports: "I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness — it’s deeply unfair."
As trans youth are under assault around the country, his words and actions mean more than ever. Speak up now and demand he apologize and commit to a full reversal:
