Reminder that the Lorax took the same approach of speaking out and bearing witness that Democrats are taking and it didn't work out so well. Resistance must be active or it's meaningless.

California is in a salmon extinction crisis. Three years of closed fisheries, weak water protections, and delays on Tribal water rights have pushed salmon—and the communities that depend on them—to the brink. It’s time to act on science, Tribal leadership, and real water solutions. #savecasalmon

The NSF’s list of keywords that trigger staff review of science research projects that violate Trump-issued executive orders: “Female” and “woman” are on it, “male” and “man” are not. Men, we Need YOU as allies in this War on Women. Act, speak out, educate. #misogyny apple.news/AN7wke_vbTUO...

We're often asked why we’re working with wild plants instead of already domesticated plants, like every other agricultural research company in the world is. Answer: genetic diversity can help save our failing food system: www.manzanitacooperative.com/musings/nati...

This is how privatization always works in every country. It is nothing more or less than the looting of public infrastructure.

The painting is Behind the Myth of Benevolence by Titus Kaphar US schools have long taught that Thomas Jefferson was a hero, a visionary, and a champion of human liberty. And they did that while erasing Sally Hemmings, whom he enslaved, raped, and impregnated.

States that want to protect their technology industries are going to need to set up state-level equivalents of the cut federal grant programs. Doing so will pay for itself by attracting knowledge based industries to those States.

Happy chosen birthday to one of my heroes, Frederick Douglass. I first read his autobiography when I was 12 and was inspired by his intellect, his humor, his courage, his integrity, and his determination. If ever I find myself doubting that a person can change the world, I return to his story.

@aclu.org shared this on another platform. The text is clear and unambiguous. It has also been violated before - the Chinese Exclusion Act forcibly and illegally deported many Californians of Chinese descent, stripping them of homes and citizenship.

Modern transportation infrastructure is a prerequisite for a modern economy. California cannot meet climate goals while forcing people to rely on private ownership of cars to get anywhere. Finish HSR to LA, then extend it north all the way to Crescent City. sf.streetsblog.org/2025/02/06/c...

Idea: instead of diverting huge amounts of water for non-native crops and dooming salmon to extinction, let's grow things that are adapted to California's native ecosystem. Because this right here is a death sentence. www.elkgrovedailynews.com/newsom-order...
