"Yesterday, #California regulators voted to establish #heat protections for indoor workers for the first time.

#Florida proactively passed legislation that would block any future local #HeatProtections for workers, and #Texas passed a law to eliminate the bare minimum form of protection, mandated water breaks for construction workers.

Most states, though, simply have no laws on the books to address the risk of work-related heat illness."

"As the climate warms and the threat of #ExtremeHeat spreads, #California is poised to protect people who work in poorly ventilated warehouses, steamy restaurant kitchens, and other indoor job sites where temperatures can soar to potentially dangerous levels. The state has had heat standards on the books for outdoor workers since 2005, and indoor workplaces are next."

Iron Gate Dam is now under demolition on the Klamath River in Northern #California.

"We make this place all new again in service of all the spirit people that exist on this earth, both human and non-human ancestors and relations," said Karuk elder Leaf Hillman.

Just a reminder that dam removal efforts began two decades ago with #Indigenous people having bake sales and getting laughed at in the face of monumental economic and political forces.

Kamala Harris's record on #Indigenous issues is mixed.

As the #California AG she opposed tribal applications to put land into trust, and argued a case against the Big Lagoon Rancheria which could've opened past land-to-trust transfers across Indian Country to litigation. Then she pivoted, and during her 2020 presidential campaign she promised to assist tribes in restoring their lands. She also created the first #ICWA Compliance Task Force to protect Native kids.

Already, we can see the early tremors starting to rattle the global #food system. As #ClimateChange permanently alters #weather patterns, #farmers are struggling to produce #crops in the same huge volumes they once did. In #California this month’s #heat wave turned lettuce yellow. In #Vietnam #ExtremeHeat has damaged the #coffee crop, sending #prices worldwide soaring. #Consumers will soon see even higher prices & less of the foods they have come to know & love….

" #Harris is nobody’s “hire.” She was elected district attorney of #SanFrancisco, elected attorney general of #California, elected #US senator & elected vice president of the #UnitedStates.

...She put her vision, skills & judgment before the voters & let them decide. And, yes, like other achievers of a darker hue, Harris has had to overcome the odds & obstacles thrown in her way, such as Conway’s hoary slur"

#ElonMusk Says He Will #Move X & #SpaceX Headquarters to #Texas

The #SocialMedia & rocket companies are headquartered in #California, which the billionaire criticized for its recent #transgender #legislation.

The CA #law, signed on Mon by Gov #GavinNewsom, a #Democrat, bans #school districts from requiring #teachers to notify parents if their children change their #gender identification.

“This is the final straw,” #Musk posted on X. It is “attacking both families & companies.” He added that he had previously warned the #California governor of such consequences.

Little-known made-up facts: the Avenue of the Giants in the Humboldt Redwood State Park, was originally named to honor the giant banana slugs in the park.

Honoring the slug did not work out as a good business plan so later they changed the branding to be about giant trees.
