Something to celebrate in CA:

9 of @EqualRightsAdvocates bills were signed by the Governor!!

The new laws, all 2025 priorities of our Stronger California Advocates Network, guard against:
- federal attacks on medicated abortion, trans people’s rights, and immigrant families; and
- advance proactive economic policy reform

We are keeping California at the forefront in advancing policies supporting women and families!

SB 79 unwinds decades of overly restrictive land use policies that have driven housing costs to astronomical levels, forcing millions of people to move far away from jobs and transit, to face massive commutes, or to leave California entirely” #transit #housing #CA #CALeg #SB79 #YIMBY #jobs

It appears that California is similar to Virginia, but in a much more confusing and frustrating way.

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).

Read Senator Niello’s complete statement in the Sacramento Bee here. #DitchTheSwitch #CALeg #DaylightSavingTime https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/article294891724.html

California State Senator Roger Niello (R) is working with other West Coast senators to #DitchDST for health and safety (thank you!). Please tell your #CALeg state senator and assemblymember to join him!

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/

California SB-1413 needs to pass its second committee this week to ditch Daylight Saving Time this year. Please remind your state legislators to support! https://www.votervoice.net/ditchDST/Campaigns/112508/Respond #DitchDST #CALeg

Tip for getting stuff like this out on Mastodon --- use more hashtags, especially for cities and states. Mastodon's searching function is pretty weak. It can be annoying but throwing in #HashTags can help to get a bigger readership, especially on topics like #Conscription.

And speaking of that: for folks in #California or who follow the #CALeg , please be sure and read the original post about an opportunity for action for #Californians who care about #Peace and #YouthRights.
