“Critics argue that a California Supreme Court ruling limiting pretrial detention to human-directed violence is what led to the immediate release of the suspect accused of severe animal torture, highlighting what some call a ‘soft-on-crime’ system.” Even domestic abusers are exempt. You basically have to kill someone in front of a cop to be detained pre trial.

It stuns me that we let farmers confine 20K sentient pigs inside a single factory farm—just imagine their terror at burning alive inside a miserable warehouse. Please take a look at your food choices and consider opting out of this system. cbc.ca/news/canada/lo…

This week 20,000 pigs burned to death in a factory farm fire in Ontario. They haven't let photographers inside. But here's what another pig factory farm looked like after it burned. It's hard to imagine the suffering of these intelligent, sensitive animals — trapped, without any means of escape or hope of help, as the flames engulfed them. It's harder to imagine the greed of an industry too cheap to even install sprinkler systems.

It's remarkable how this looks like an inverted rents vs. permits chart Places that permit many apartments have lower rents. Places that permit lots of power generation have lower electricity prices Places that fail to permit things have higher both! It's not the data centers!

Data centers haven’t been raising residential bills. The sharpest increases are found in states that have pursued the country’s most aggressive climate policies, not those with the most data centers. California, with some of the nation’s fastest-rising electricity rates, has

Under California SB 143 (2023), goat herders have to be paid ~ $17,000 per month effective July 1. That's because they are now entitled to minimum wage 24/7 plus applicable overtime. Unless this is fixed, goats which protect us from wildfire by consuming grass in danger zones will be slaughtered because it will too costly to keep them. Just another instance of sloppy, union-driven legislation in California! abc7news.com/post/south-bay…

Governor Gavin Newsom has spent more than double the cost of the new White House ballroom on an unfinished renovation. When questioned by reporters his response was to stop releasing records.

Can’t afford your rent or mortgage? How selfish. The President has a ballroom to build.

The idea of a phone book was actually wild when you think about it. They printed everybody’s full names, phone numbers, and home addresses in one giant book and then just gave it away for free.

This is nuts!! Voters chose @realSonjaShaw for State Superintendent in the primary, but instead of respecting the fact she may win, Newsom is fast-tracking legislation to shift key powers from the independently elected Superintendent of Public Instruction to a governor-appointed official. That’s an end run around the voters.

We never talk about how being a strong, wealthy, capitalist country gives us the ability and abundance of resources to come to the rescue of socialist countries as they're overwhelmed. I'm so proud of this country, and our local firefighters...the best ambassadors imaginable.
