When the utilities wanted rooftop solar so they didn't have to build and maintain power plants, we installed rooftop solar. Now they want us to break their deal and have us pay even more.

The amended version of AB 942 would still break 2 million solar contracts and legislators should vote NO!

🚨Contact your legislator today at the link in bio: NO on AB 942 as amended! 🚨

Thank you, Melody Peterson with the LA Times for covering the developments on AB 942.

Those are our tests. They own taxpayers half a billion dollars if they just destroy them.

NEW: The Trump admin is considering destroying 160 million COVID tests, worth half a billion dollars.

This would be a horrible waste. COVID is still around, and causes high levels of illness and deaths throughout the year. Tests are expensive. The government should send them to people for free.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.

This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

We were here 1st.
#ICE
On Mescalero Apache Tribe letterhead: MESCALERO Apache Tribe P.O. Box 227 108 Central Avenue Mescalero, New Mexico 88340 TRIBE Office: (575) 464-4494 Fax: (575) 464-9220 STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT THORA WALSH-PADILLA ON IMMIGRATION INCIDENT INVOLVING A TRIBAL MEMBER As of 3:45 PM this afternoon, the Tribe verified only a single incident where an ICE January 23, 2025 Mescalero, NM Last night and throughout the day today, I received multiple calls from concerned Mescalero Apache Tribal Members in relation to rumors of incidents involving Tribal Members and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. agent questioned a Tribal Member in a public place in Ruidoso. This incident occurred yesterday. ICE agents began questioning a family standing in line in front of the Tribal member. The family was escorted outside. Then, an ICE agent still inside the public place approached the Tribal Member in Spanish. The Tribal Member responded by stating the Tribal Member spoke English. The ICE agent asked the Tribal Member for a passport. The Tribal Member presented a picture of a New Mexico Driver's License and a Tribal identification card. The ICE agent did not continue questions at this point and exited. While this is the only incident we have been able to verify. Tribal leadership is actively working with the New Mexico Congressional Delegation to ensure that the rights of Tribal Members are protected. To be safe, be aware of your surroundings, let family members/friends know where you are, and keep identification with you at all times. If possible, then carry multiple forms of identification (driver's license, state-issued identification card, Tribal identification card, Certificate of Indian Blood, etc.).

I will donate to anyone who primaries a Democrat voting to confirm RFK Jr. It’s so catastrophically dangerous that I’m sort of dumbfounded. As a scientist, this is as close as I’ve been to being a single issue voter.

If you agree, let @whitehouse.senate.gov know.

#Moose, early 1980s

“Moose, abundant in the dense forests of the Anishinaabe territories, serve as a crucial source of food for many Anishinaabeg. Moreover, various parts of the moose - its hide, fur, antlers, and more - are employed in the fabrication of drums, artistic creations, and an assortment of tools. Unsurprisingly, then, the moose is a frequent subject of the Anishinaabe painters of this time. In this work by Goyce Kakegamic, the moose - while undeniably abstract - is so rendered with such earnestness that it seems to have life from within the page. Similarly, the stately creature is coloured with a sonorous palette that it seems to have an inner luminescence.”
