so, uh, Governor Kathy Hochul can we please do congestion pricing now before Trump gets into office and kills it forever

California should be getting the same level of general scrutiny that Texas gets

In recent years many states have outlawed ALL forms of slavery — including Alabama, Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont. It looks like California will not be joining this list, and we should be ashamed.

Another one for the reckoning folder…

Well worth a read!! Tar balls are actually from fatbergs! Congratulations to all my colleagues at UNSW and UNSW Chemical Society involved. #ozchem

Someone needs to do a legal challenge against fees that are a percentage of project value. These fees should reflect the actual costs to review the project

Let’s talk about Direct File. It’s a free, easy way for people to file their taxes directly online with IRS. You keep your tax refund — rather than paying $150 to a sleazy tax prep company. It’s more efficient! But these Republicans want you to keep wasting money on TurboTax.

REMINDER: Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry signed a bill in May 2024 making it LEGAL for drivers to KILL PEDESTRIANS who block their way in the road. #neworleansattack

Devastating news. Helen was fierce and sassy and full of energy and hilarious- it’s unimaginable that she’s no longer here. She touched so many of us even though we didn’t know her real name, or see her face. Her personality came through in droves. Her videos on her bike ../1
