Four years ago I inherited a site from a retiring male engineer. Now I’m leaving and a new male engineer is getting the site. Except today I was notified the site’s “too complicated” and instead going to a female scientist.

CAStateScientist PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me they wrote that in an email and didn't just say it verbally. THIS is exactly what we're talking about. Engineers (80% male) make 30-40% more than their scientist counterparts (45% male), yet they give the more difficult work to scientists. #EqualPayCA

Late last night, we reached a Total Tentative Agreement! This TTA provides many hard-fought wins for State Scientists in terms of compensation, gender equity, healthcare, worker rights, and more. Check out your inbox for an email with the details.

Solidarity and love for our UAW Union Siblings in CAPS, UAW Local 1115‼️ Congratulations!

A big congratulations to #CaStateScientists on their contract! This long overdue win means better compensation, healthcare, and more! #ValueScientists 💪🏼 CAPS, UAW Local 1115

After 4+ years of bargaining, CAPS, UAW Local 1115 may finally have a contract with CA. In the last year, the scientist went on strike and affiliated with UAW. The TA includes important provisions like longevity pay and 8w paid family leave. sacbee.com/news/politics-…

BREAKING: Lawrence O’Donnell just demolished Donald Trump for speaking for 60 minutes straight and telling a lie for every sentence he uttered. Everyone in the media needs to call out Trump’s BS. Retweet so all Americans see this vital video.

HOLY SHIT, I can’t believe we missed this incredible speech at UAW by Kamala Harris, because networks were busy letting trump lie his ass off. This is our next President.

The UAW has responded to comments by Trump and Musk last night by filing federal labor charges against both after Trump praised Musk for firing striking employees. Story. meidasnews.com/news/uaw-files…

This is basically what bands see from the stage when they look down into the photo pit at a show:

Hey Gavin Newsom I’m a constituent and I support #SB1090. SB 1090 is a small but needed change that will reduce stress and provide working families with timely access to #PaidFamilyLeave and State Disability Insurance. I respectfully urge your support!

I've had too much to drink already!! It's only 30 minutes!!! *Hic... Too many shots taken for every lie ...... #Debate2024. #KamalaAkka #momala for the win.

Hit BINGO... 2x ....across the various boards. I'm drunk!

Let’s do Peter’s Pocket next. It’s next-door to Lookout Slough, is at the perfect elevations to support tidal marsh, and will require far less earthwork (no high-voltage transmission towers to protect!).
