PSA: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
Ever wonder how grapes become raisins? Workers cut the grapes & lay them on paper sheets to sun-dry. Then workers like "Joel" walk on the burning sand to roll up these sheets. This is hard grueling work to do one sheet after another. It was 102° in Tulare on this day. #WeFeedYou

Yesterday I tested positive for COVID, after spending a couple of days thinking it was hay fever and then realizing it wasn't. Largely due to the expertise and decades of hard work by this man, I am at home, in decent shape and not going to end up dead or in the hospital. Thank you, Dr. Fauci.
The Endangered Species Act is the best tool we have to protect vulnerable plant and animal species. We know it works; it has a 99% success rate. But instead of protecting our wildlife, the Trump admin is dismantling vital Endangered Species Act protections. Earthjustice is fighting back in court.

🚨 OCEAN HEAT: We are entering uncharted territory. Record-breaking ocean temperatures are pushing ecosystems closer to dangerous tipping points. Fossil fuel corporations and big polluters are gambling with a liveable planet for profit.
Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels
