Why it matters:
When clinics lose a third of revenue, the people who suffer first are the poorest: pregnant folks, disabled patients, immigrants. Politicians passed policies that pull money away then act surprised when care disappears.

It appears that California is similar to Virginia, but in a much more confusing and frustrating way. I like this bit: "In practical terms, nearly anyone can sue once a project has been approved." https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=GOV&division=1.&title=7.&part=&chapter=9.3.&article= #CALeg

We managed to go 7 years since the last proposal to partition California. I just updated Wikipedia with a map of the latest Republican plan to split off inland California from the coastal counties. (And no, it's never going to happen).

Plastic grocery bags "aren’t being reused in any meaningful way, and they can’t be recycled,” writes the LA Times. “We need a do-over — a second plastic bag ban that fulfills the promise that lawmakers made in 2014.”

California Senate approves the amended SB-1413. Originally filed by Senator Niello to #DitchDST, #DitchTheSwitch, and restore permanent Standard Time, it was amended by committee only to study energy effects of such action. It next goes to #CALeg Assembly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZjjkyLq2QE

Was just thinking about how disappointing it's been that no Democrats have really pushed back on the arbitrary new return to office policy Gov. Newsom laid down. I don't know if Hoover, a Republican, actually gives a shit about CO2 emissions from commuting, or if he sees an opportunity to pick up some suburban state worker votes, or if he's just trolling. But I'll take it.

California (#CALeg) Senate’s Energy Committee and Appropriations Committee have rewritten SB-1413.
Originally filed to #DitchDST, #DitchTheSwitch, and restore permanent Standard Time, in 2024, at no cost—it would now only *study* Daylight Saving Time, in 2027, for $600,000.
California’s rewritten SB-1413 would only study energy effects of DST—while ignoring health, safety, education, and productivity.
DST has already been studied hundreds of times. It does not save energy. Even if it did, it would not justify its many greater harms to public well-being.
Please contact California Senate leadership, ask them to restore SB-1413’s original wording. 👉 https://www.senate.ca.gov/senators/senate-leadership
Also contact your own state senator, tell him/her to support permanent Standard Time. 👉 https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/
