Millions of people are worried about paying their rent, feeding their kids or losing vital disability benefits.
If the government cared about people's security, it would reverse cruel cuts, end child poverty and pursue an agenda for peace.
Let's fund welfare, not warfare.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
One of the biggest compliments someone gave me was “you’re very Twin Peaks” 🥹
Gosh if only someone had done something
Use your excitement and relief to help a Palestinian in Gaza today - share their fundraisers, donate, use this energy to help them survive. They have a long road ahead.
I mean, they do address:
Climate change✓
Air pollution ✓
Health ✓
Mental health✓
Urban sprawl ✓
Urban heath islands✓
Traffic ✓
Noise pollution ✓
Community ✓
Children's development ✓
Biodiversity loss✓
Fun✓
Resource extraction ✓
I think you are right!
It would go a long way in addressing the climate crisis, the affordability crisis, the public health crisis, & the equity crisis.
It would improve traffic, save lives, reduce pollution & noise, improve livability & save public money.
Never let anyone tell you the solutions we need are too complex.
I've just had a look at the council decision on this
Alludes to the road supporting development (which will generate more traffic).
It also says that it will remove traffic from unsuitable residential roads and narrow rural roads, but nothing in the decision about making changes to these
The Park City ski patrol strike is over. The workers got every major item they wanted from Vail Resorts.
-Starting wages up by $2/hr.
-Senior workers get pay raised by as much as $7.75/hr.
-Better parental leave and professional development.
-A better wage scale and more.
Isabelle Taft Jan. 8, 2025, 11:02 p.m. Bryce Wagoner, a director who lives in Hollywood Heights in the evacuation area, stepped onto his third-floor balcony to see the Hollywood Hills ablaze in the distance. Helicopters carrying water churned overhead and sirens blared. He planned to monitor the situation and leave if the fire seemed to become more of a threat. He was waiting for a $300 Amazon Fresh delivery that was still scheduled to arrive in about an hour.
The fact that Amazon workers were told to keep working in these conditions is unforgivable.
The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this
Life comes at you fast Keith
Maybe if he'd paid even less tax there'd be more firefighters
It's hard to imagine a more brutal illustration of climate injustice and a failed society than indentured teenage slaves being used to protect the homes of wealthy Americans.
Most succinct fact-check I've read of how LA Fire Dept's budget wasn't recently cut -- in fact, the opposite -- from @politico.com. But that misinformation spread anyway. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
Laundering a right wing talking point meant to distract from the climate change angle, purportedly based on a single guy’s comment. Doesn’t mention that she isn’t the mayor of LA *County* and the deadliest of the fires so far is outside of her jurisdiction.

For SoCal friends,
Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can.

It’s also important to remember that creating a jaded and disgruntled society when it comes to confronting human-caused climate change works to the benefit of politicians, businessman, and corporate executives that have the motive to continue extracting our natural resources for personal profit.
Quaker group pulls NYT ad over paper's refusal to let it call Israel's Gaza bombing 'genocide'
New York Times is genocide propaganda
Insurance is a racket - health, home, what else? They use fear to extract money, then break their side of the contract. Why do we allow it to exist?
It's wild how quickly the mainstream narrative swung from "climate change won't be a crisis in the US" to "Well of course you can't get homeowners insurance if you live in California or Florida. Everyone knows that!"
You could have blinked and missed it.
trains are such a great example of how the future is here, if we want it and are willing to subsidize it

I'm reminded of the hadith that goes:
Anas ibn Malik reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “If the Final Hour comes while you have a shoot of a plant in your hands and it is in your power to plant it before the Hour comes, you should plant it.”
Wowzer, JC going full antisemitic - trying to throw the entirety of global Jewry under the bus to stop anyone having a breath of sympathy for any Palestinians.
This is not even helpful to Israel. It’s pure desperation to assist a murderous Netanyahu.
Maybe recruiting and training hundreds of thousands of men to carry out sanctioned state terror overseas was always going to boomerang back into the imperial core the way literally every scholar of extremism and empire said it would
Ofwat is making us pay for decades of criminal behaviour by water companies.
Time to scrap both of them and give the public a real say over the future of our water.
