Trump has gutted the agencies that help us brace for extreme weather, leaving us unprepared for one of the strongest El Niño events in history. Read what a former NOAA staffer has to say about it: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rather than spend $2.7 billion on the proposed Hostos Project in Puerto Rico, we could fund thousands of solar energy systems and community-based microgrids that are more resilient to climate disasters than yet another fossil fuel megaproject. Add your name: act.350.org/sign/may-26-...

Then why did you increase the # of leases for oil drilling on your way out of office? Why did you let your CPUC set solar back 10 years (#of annual installs)? Why are you fighting Prop 40? We need to tax the rich. You support technofacism that supports DJT 47 regime. Why did you veto SB954?

Newsom (and Bonta) is a corporate Democrats. Full stop. He lost my vote when NEM 3.0 happened along with his moves to support more oil drilling. Those of us in the environmental movement have our work cut out for us as we face a new governor next year.

The frustration in yesterday’s Sierra Club ECC meeting was clear. Why can’t they quickly dissemble the battery? If we have any chance of getting Beccerra on our side, we don’t need setbacks like this. He is pro fossil fuels.

Tom Kunhardt @tomkunhardt.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
It did. There is resistance to battery installations as a result. It’s a challenge to convey the type of battery at this location is old tech and no longer used. We talked about this on the Sierra Club California Energy & Climate weekly meeting yesterday. Horrible timing for shifting our next gov.

He's been a corporate democrat for years now, trying and failing, at walking the tightrope. He will not have my vote if he runs. I like the idea of Ro Khanna and AOC running. Back to basics, support working class. Like Robert Reisch says, our economy is built from the bottom up, not top down.
