Central Valley CA's, if you can, you better start planting those home gardens because 🥬 and 🍊 prices are going to go 📈 since we won't have any water for irrigation in the summer.
Seems like there is a plan to try to bring down California's economy? Come on @gavinnewsom.bsky.social do something!

No one is OK right now.
At least, no one with working empathy and a knowledge of History who’s paying attention.

It's OK if You're Not Ok. No One Who's Paying Attention Right Now, is.
“How are you?” I asked my dear friend Julie, as she fell down into her chair across from me with a loud exhale.

Why can't people just accept that Trump tried to ban TikTok in 2020 but failed and then was against the ban when Sleepy Joe was in favor of it and now is going to save TikTok and China is bad and therefore tariffs, but also the CEO of TikTok is going to the inauguration. Why is that so difficult?

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.
It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.
