I can’t believe in California we just accept that 120 members of the state legislature represents roughly 39.5 million people. The assembly consists of only 80 members. If you do the math, that means 1 member of the assembly represents roughly 493,750 Californians!
Gorgeous trains like this that are fast, frequent, and operate between major cities, are what I want my tax dollars going to.
Big news! The new Amtrak Cascades trainset is on the move! It's en route to Pueblo, Colorado! Many thanks to rail fan Hudson Sheats @centralvalleyrailfan8311 who captured these amazing images! More info in comments. #AmtrakCascades #NewTrains
The U.S. DOT is ending rail projects in the same state where it's spending tens of millions to add another highway lane:
Through the BUILD Grant, @SecDuffy has awarded Placer County with over $22 million to construct additional lanes along SR-65 to I-80 allowing for better traffic flow and help reduce congestion. Now every commuter can get behind this!

Not acceptable. No excuses.
Catholic priests have been barred from providing religious services inside Florida's controversial new migrant detention facility — dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" — nearly three weeks after it opened deep in the Everglades, the archbishop of Miami said. bit.ly/3IFk8qd
Gerrymandering is one of the worst political stunts impacting the United States. We can reduce gerrymandering by implementing multi-member districts with a #ProportionalRepresentation system like Proportional STAR Voting: starvoting.org/star-pr
This is not democracy.
Gerrymandering creates "safe" districts that often elect extreme candidates. #ApprovalVoting can help! By letting voters approve multiple candidates, it favors broadly supported, consensus winners, even in redrawn districts. A step towards fairer representation! #ElectionReform
This is not democracy.
This is true in many ways, but in every single year, we have as many @GreenPartyUS candidates running for office from School Board to Congress, in as many states as possible. If we allow the two ruling class parties to hold their offices, the rot will never be healed.
Every 4 years Americans are told to choose which ruling class party will run the government and exploit workers. This is not democracy as the people have no say whatsoever over the policies of either party as both parties are controlled by the monopoly capitalists that fund them.
Gabbie's poem about how score voting can kill the Centre Squeeze Effect and save the world:
How the Condorcet cycle breaks the chokehold of compromise: A single honest score, unshackled from ranks, lets the lukewarm center swell— but the moment three camps orbit a perfect split, no midpoint survives the circular fire. Yet the same honest ratings, when tallied by…

Just because Trump is reported to be in the Epstein files doesn’t mean he was in his list of clients. They obviously had run ins in the past. However, Trump’s recent call for his followers to stop talking about it, hesitation to release anything, attacking Massie, and acting…

One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. Shortly afterwards we…
