I don't know about secession. But let's at least stop pumping all that money back to the federal government and keep it for ourselves (or maybe just share some of it with Oregon and Washington State). That would be a really fucking powerful message.
Let's see how those whiney anti-Californian red welfare states cope without us subsidizing their toxic bullshit.
Ahh, so we're into the 'threatening the opposition for contrived threats' stage of the new fascist regime. A little bit earlier than I was expecting. But not a big surprise, considering the state of this speed run to democracy's end.
If you have a color printer you could try printing out an image from [this website](https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/( in front of your face and let it take that photo. Might be more hassle than it's worth though.
I'm convinced they are doing this in preparation for the negative impacts of climate change (which of course they publicly claim doesn't exist). It's flagrant theft from and disenfranchisement of the working and middle classes. The mega rich are hoarding as much stolen wealth as they can, so they can live in secure ivory towers.
They don't give a shit about anyone else. Including their own descendents when it comes down to it.

Good to see Haaland is staying humble.
Can you imagine how much baying and howling with rage Fox News and all the other right-wing outlets would be doing if this happened on a Democrat president's watch? And the subsequent screaming many GOP voters would be doing?
It's not hard to imagine, because they routinely freaked out about stuff much more trivial than this. (Remember Obama's white suit?)
And Russia has zero interest in working with Biden. Because they knew that between their election interference, their US-based puppets, and general voter dissatisfaction with Biden (and Harris), all they had to do was wait it out to get a much more favorable administration who will acquiesce to their demands.
My first car was a Nissan too. It was an unreliable piece of shit. So based on that palpable experience, I'm glad this merger is off.
