And vote against their own interests, like prop 33 (rent control).

Interesting to watch the numbers change as ballots continue to be counted. There's still a huge amount of uncounted mail-in ballots.

Newsom may like to show up as a liberal crusader, and he does like to defend rights on social issues, but the guy has been selling California down the river to his corporate masters since he was mayor of San Francisco.

The fact that he heavily campaigned against prop 33, which would have made rent control legal, says everything.

Not state level offenses, only federal crimes, at least as the law stands now.

He can't pardon himself of state charges, only federal, at least for now.

Cats, even domesticated species, are still obligate carnivores, as in they will die of malnutrition eventually if they are put on a non-meat diet.

They 100% need to eat meat to survive. Vegan cat food will kill them slowly as they can't properly process the proteins in plants.

The way you write your argument out as questions makes you sound like Tucker Carlson or one of his "I'm jUsT aSkInG qWesTioNs" deciples.

It comes off as condecending and disingenuous, even if some of your points may be correct.

Cats are carnivores.

Michigan doesn't do cash bail anymore, so unless a DA pushes for a hearing to hold him as a danger, he may be out later today in time to vote.

This move is specifically described in Project 2025. The next step is that he will gut the DOJ, appoint his people, and have them pressure, remove, and prosecute any local DA who doesn't get in line.

The goal is to force very part of the legal apparatus to get in line with the fascist agenda.

There are other types of batteries that don't involve volatiles, like water batteries or metal-air batteries.

That's a good strategy to ensure you die: a mooses torso is already higher than the hood of a lot of SUVs, so you're taking a moose to the face.
