Australia has barred social media from everyone under 16. The bill passed the Senate on Thursday (today, technically I guess) with bipartisan support. nytimes.com/2024/11/28/wor…

California is ready to fight.
I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration.
Whether it be our fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, or climate action -- we refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked.

Today's Lancet climate and health report presents 56 indicators of health and climate change across FIVE domains. (Download the report for free from the Lancet website). Here is a thread of some of the key findings. #Lancetclimate24 (1)

@ChrisWalkerCBC Well, after reading that, Chris, I couldn't not ask!
Though, full disclosure, I was potentially a little less chill than your ChatGPT guy on election day.

…except for the young guy who voted how ChatGPT told him to. He was chill.

I can’t stop thinking about the voters I met last night at a polling place in Kelowna, and how angry they all were.

It'll be a tight race! Please get out and vote if you can.

John McCain and I didn’t always agree, but he understood that some values transcended parties. He knew that if we got in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, our democracy will not work.
John McCain had character. That’s what I think about so much these days because it’s so different from what we see out of the Republican nominee.

My message to billionaires who don’t want to chip in their fair share is: I’m not your guy.
My message to British Columbians is this: Let’s stick together.
Let’s work together to build a brighter future for everyone, not just those at the top.

@BlackwellMerlin It would have been great to hear your answers! I had a similar set today, with a group of students from schools in the Boundary (hosted in #GreenwoodBC). They ask the best questions. And it's my most rewarding engagement. I love it and it refills my cup.

Got a report of some sign damage (a dog gave it a nibble), so our sign crew brought the Nelson street Gnome Home a new one. Happy voting!

This is a good idea - free transit for folks on election day to make sure everyone has a chance to vote.

Just unbelievable that John Rustad announced a "reproductive health" plan that doesn't mention abortion access or contraception. Not once.
Our rights are on the ballot this election.

This meant taking resources away from aid and first responders, and giving it to a team to counter false claims.

Misinformation + lies cost us in both money + lives. It is not OK.

John Rustad’s plan: tax breaks for the top 2%, while the rest of us get left with the bill. He apparently thinks trickle-down economics works better than the economic experts do. #OnBrand
Spencer Chandra Herbert@SChandraHerbert
An important watch: Rustad's star candidate Yuri Fulmer is openly pushing tax breaks for the top 2%. The tax rate he's talking about here is the top bracket - everyone else in BC pays the lowest income taxes in Canada. This is important for unpacking Rustad's agenda. 🧵

Wow! You make that all by yourself from your perch in WestVan? 🎨
While you were off getting rich from your global mining escapades, I was here serving people in NorthVan and supporting communities facing climate disasters with a baby strapped to my back. But u do u, Big Man.

Under @BowinnMa and the NDP, the housing crisis has worsened, traffic remains a mess, hospital wait times are up, and taxes are rising. North Vancouver-Lonsdale deserves better leadership. The NDP has failed. It’s time for change. #NDPmustGo #NorthVancouver #bcpoli
