California ALONE has the 5th highest GDP in the world. Yeah you read that right. This single state generates more wealth & has a bigger economy than all but three other countries on Earth.
As Uncle Marx said: Accumulation of wealth at one pole is, at the same time, accumulation of misery at the opposite pole
List of countries (and CA) by GDP:
1. US: $19.5 trillion
2. China: $12 trillion
3. Japan: $4.8 trillion
4. Germany: $3.6 trillion
5. *California: $2.7 trillion
6. UK: $2.6 trillion
7. India: $2.6 trillion
8. France: $2.5 trillion
9. Brazil: $2 trillion
10. Italy: $1.9 trillion

In 2018 I said goodbye to my best little buddy, Mulder. Wanted to share how great a pup he was. Here we are in 2006—found him right after I got out of the Army
Mulder was a half-Corgi Hurricane Katrina rescue who I noticed at the dog shelter cuz as every dog was going nuts he was on his own, sad and sulking in a corner. Completely shy, as soon as we got in the car he climbed on my lap and stayed there the whole hour+ drive from Miami
While he eventually got over his trauma of whatever happened to him the 3 years before I found him, he always stayed glued to my side for the 12 years we were together. Never had to worry about him running away because he was always looking for me instead!

Troops out of Syria is great. But why praise the guy who deployed a record number of troops to Syria, occupied a record amount of territory & killed a record number of civilians? Like Obama in Afghanistan & Nixon in Vietnam, a withdrawal after a massive expansion isn’t “anti-war”
Trump deployed about 10 times the number of troops to Syria than Obama did; occupied 1/3 of the country; bombed the Syrian government for the first time; and not just increased airstrikes by 50%, but greater “freedom” he gave US generals increased civilian casualties by 250%!
Don’t be too quick to trust the “anti-interventionist” sentiments of an emotionless sociopath who campaigned on expanding military power, war with Islam and “finally getting Iraq’s oil”

There used to be a communist rockabilly/“death folk” band in LA called Los Duggans and they were great

They also brought Lenin & anti-imperialism to Sundance Film Fest with experimental filmmaker Travis Wilkerson, performing the scathing live political performance ‘Proving Ground,’ which critics called “the only act that wasn’t for sale” at the festival

"Excuse me everyone for tagging you.  I am reaching out to many as possible in re: to "wildfires in California.
The recent "wildfires" in Paradise, California 1000's of people died and 30,000 + homes destroyed. What most people don't know the "wildfires" are man-made. I will provide clips, links of evidence, what we're up against and a solution. The mainstream media has been downplaying...
...on the "wildfires" to keep us all ignorant for not knowing the truth.  This is a 4  part thread."

Today @SynapseEnergy released a new report commissed by @NRDC on the opportunities and challenges for decarbonizing heating in #California buildings. Here is a quick summary thread.
CA's buildings are responsible for 25% of the state's #GHG #emissions and more than half of those already come from combusion furnaces and water heaters.
Switching to efficient electric heat & hot water will have a significant impact on reducing gas use in California buildings. As CA’s electric grid shifts toward clean, #renewable energy sources, #emissions from electric heat will continue to drop.

1/ on this thread i’ll try to explain our current line of research at @DemocracyEarth that led us to the model described in token.democracy.earth on how to use the blockchain for a borderless democracy.
2/ a fundamental requirement for *any* voting system is having a consensus on who gets the right to vote on an election. without that, any election can be manipulated (eg “dead people in voter registries” or “db admin delaying registrations”). so identity becomes a key aspect.
3/ if we rely on identity by piggybacking on legacy systems —government issued ids, banks with their kyc/aml practices— then it is very likely we won’t be able to address the vast majorities excluded by them. eg: the world has 65 million refugees, not a single state ids them.

(1) The #California Legislature is panicking tonight. They're currently presented with a watered-down #ConsumerProtection bill that would require tech companies to disclose the data collected on users, and delete the data collected on them at request. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavC…
(2) This bill poses a huge threat to the profits of FAANG corporations, and it poses a threat to the companies who rely on this data to sell advertisers and political groups analytics on prospective consumers/voters.

Why is it such a problem, though?
(3) The #CCPA is actually quite milquetoast, as it's written now. But if they don't pass this bill, California has a much bigger problem coming for them in November: the will of the people.

@naomirwolf @bookofoursjulie If you're not worried that in #California alone Trump wants space for 94K in his concentration camps

Why?

He's supposedly deporting ppl back to their country of origin ASAP

Just "who" are these camps for?

The camps aren't fit for children

It just doesn't make sense

Ask why
@naomirwolf @bookofoursjulie One site in Concord, Calif is an abandoned nuclear site that's minimum 600 miles from Mexico border.

In a congested suburban area.

Are they going to put ppl in there that they pick up in ICE raids or are they shipping ppl up from the border?

None of this makes sense.
@naomirwolf @bookofoursjulie On the Concord Fed military property they can do "anything" & call it classified.

Will political activists start disappearing?

We won't get answers this much we know.

But somebody has to keep asking what this is all about.
