When does this guy take over from the fat orange guy? 😬
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.

Breaking News: BBC announces they want to cut out the middle man and just appoint Nigel Farage as Director General.
Richard Tice claims he can cut “literally billions of pounds of waste” after Farage takes over.
Laura Kuenssberg in line for CEO of News. Fiona Bruce to be her deputy.
Honest 😉

US politics needs drastic reform. It’s no longer representative of anything except big money.
Add corrupt pardons into the mix, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Don't buy fucking Tesla.
Tesla now pays Elon Musk $100bn a year.
Tesla's 125,000 workers are paid $40,000 each average, $5bn a year.
He is paid 20x as much as every single worker at Tesla.
They could be paid $840,000 each instead.

These are ridiculous numbers.
If being an MP AND a Shadow Minister isn’t a full time role, you’re not doing it right.
We have to pass legislation to stop MPs from having these highly personally lucrative, and highly dodgy, side hustles.

21 out of 33 Conservative shadow ministers in the Lords have paid jobs outside Parliament.
Shadow ministers paid to ‘advise’ the same industries they’re meant to scrutinise. Conflict of interest institutionalized. Paymasters served.
Can't get good society without ending political bribery.

Republican politicians can commit all the crimes they want and victimize as many people as they want because right after they are convicted Trump pardons every single one of them. Every Republican politician is above the law and can do whatever they want. Total immunity.

Farage isn’t on your side.
Actually Farage is on his own side. Anything that makes him wealthier. Anything that makes the proletariat more compliant.
It’s also worth noting that UK employment protections have fallen far behind more of the EU. We need this bill.

Nigel Farage just voted to water down workers' rights.
We were voting on the Employment Rights Bill - the biggest strengthening of workers’ rights in years.
But of course Farage sided with the bosses. Again.
