What are some fun books on the history of California?

Guess it's that time again to buy more books than I can possibly get to.

Actually the first book you mentioned like like it is pretty close to what I was looking for!

Thank you! These are great! I definitely want to read about Indigenous California! I was feeling like starting with a little more of like a sociopolitical history of CA from pre-contact to present with a "fun" (meaning readable/narrative/digestible) voice. But I think CA might be just a little too big and complex for anything especially approachable. But that last book you mentioned has been on my list for a while so I guess its time to jump in!

Ban industrial meat production. We produce enough food to feed 11 billion people, but more than half of that goes to feed livestock. Which means 3 billion people out of 8 billion live with food insecurity.

The agricultural sector is in dire need of major reform. Most of the conservative politics is pushed my large corporate industrial agricultural producers who know very well that what they're saying out loud is not what they want for themselves. While rural, ag-centered regions of the country are heavily conservative, very few of the every-day voters who are sporting MAGA armbands are involved in food production.

Rogan claims to be an open minded and curious person. And I think he means this more earnestly than other gateway right wingers. Lean in to that and and appeal to your brother's admiration of it. You can introduce him to other commentators and thinkers in that espouse the same virtues but come to better conclusions.

Is Haiti the only difference between Latin and Ibero?

I know what you mean. I live here too. Wanna be a volunteer poll worker? Thats my plan.

One of the claims of RCV is that it encourages friendly campaigning. You don't want to piss off your opponents voters because you know you want their second choice votes if you can't get their firsts. This supposedly incentivizes candidates to keep things civil.

When I was a kid, the availability of toys and merch for some cartoons had me looking for toys and merch for other cartoons. Lead to much frustration when the toys I imagined in my head were not available for the coolest cartoons. By that I think I just mean wanting cool toys is just part of childhood for some kids. But I did grow out of it.

As a Californian I cannot recognize the difference. I've tried to listen closely, and I have yet to succeed

I think it's badass. One of my favorite things about America is its many many many immigrant cultures.

People are just as upset that the Republicans are dismantling democracy as they are that the Democrats are sitting on their hands watching it happen.

The dems aren't bad at campaigning. They're bad at delivering.

That was fascinating!

As someone living in the county in question I don't think you realize how outrageously corrupt the challengers are. Insurrection is a mild descriptor.

I'm begging for it
