I am a liberal atheist and humanist who cares about my children, running, politics, democracy, science, nature, the environment, the cosmos, books, history and writing (not necessarily in that order). I believe in the humanity and equality of all people.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Although I didn’t realize it at the time (I was only 16) Sinead O’Connor was incredibly brave and should have been commended rather than condemned!

Trump‘s cash gifts to government employees, violate ethics rules, which exist to promote loyalty to the United States over loyalty to one person. He doesn’t get to break the law just because cash bonuses were “his longtime practice” in the private sector. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump gave $45,000 cash gifts to Natalie Harp, two other close aides
Financial disclosures show the sums were equivalent to nearly one-third of each of their salaries. Experts say the gifts are without precedent and may violate the law.
