"Residents compare it directly to mountaintop removal mining — different industry, same extraction logic, same pattern of outside companies reshaping the land while locals shoulder the consequences." Same as the Central Valley of CA. @kevinhall.bsky.social

‘This was a righteous case. A holy war’: the lawyer who took on Meta and Google – and won

‘This was a righteous case. A holy war’: the lawyer who took on Meta and Google – and won

When Mark Lanier and his young client Kaley faced the tech giants in an LA courtroom earlier this year, it seemed a bigger battle than David v Goliath. But they scored a landmark victory, proving that the social media giants had created ‘addiction machines’ that harmed mental health. How did they pull it off?

Why Silicon Valley interests spent $2m against Sandra Celedon in #ad31 primary with dematory attacks thru a PAC and supported Perea 3.0. Perea 1.0 sits on the HSR board,. that's some Trump-level inside advantage, albeit through Blue MAGA rather than red. #Fresno www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...

"She's just getting started." She's been at it for years, the lying that is. #annalisaperea #ad31

"Imma lie to you." -- #annalisaperea #ad31

Two lines, two lies! #annalisaperea, you are your industrial lobbyist father's daughter, your oil lobbyist brother's sister. "Eviction Protections" were enacted before you took office and you voted to cut funding by 25%. She's not capping rent while lying about passing eviction protections. #ad31

Guess Who Can't Stop Lying (pro tip #annalisaperea) 1,719 (79%) were for "Above Moderate" homes, the most expensive category. 311 *15%) were in the "Extremely/Very Low" category. That's a 5:1 ratio.

$1.2 million in independent expenditures #annalisaperea is the corporate candidate. California Leads is Meta and Google. Dyer backs her, too, as do realtors. #AD31

Why does #TomSteyer keep lying about his environmental endorsements? He again made the wild claim that literally every environmentalist in California has endorsed him. Get a grip, Steyer. You've achieved Trump-level delusions, or is it billionaire-itis? At the 16:25 mark youtu.be/WC_mknOsjOk?...

Tom Steyer just said he has the support of every environmentalist in the state "to a person." That's a desperate exaggeration. The man is flailing.
