I’m so incredibly honored to have the endorsement of California Working Families Party 🐺 and proud to continue working in partnership to create a California that works for us all, not just the billionaire class!

Ok I’ll bite. This was clearly during the Milliken Conference this week so my question is who was the interviewer and who was in the room. Did know one ask a question or challenge this assertion? 🤔

The Biden admin notified the Hill in an email that it wouldn't release the report today on Israel’s conduct in Gaza — and didn't give a clear reason why, Congress aides told us. politico.com/news/2024/05/0…

The Biden admin has indefinitely delayed its report on whether Israel has violated humanitarian law in Gaza.

The State Department was supposed to issue the report today. If it had concluded there was a violation, the U.S. would be expected to stop sending Israel military aid.

TY The New Republic Michael Friedrich for shedding light on the harms of #YIMBY policies! 48 Hills notes: “It's rare that national publications not known as left-wing outlets take a serious look at whether the YIMBY agenda actually leads to lower housing prices.” 48hills.org/2024/03/nation…

It's been months of high-pressure negotiations but our economic recovery's a top priority.
That means taking a hard look at business tax reform. This will cut taxes for restaurants & small biz while protecting key sources of tax revenue for essential city services benefiting all.

Thank you to SFPD Tenderloin for arresting known perpetrator and SFPD Central Station and Community Youth Center of San Francisco for following up with victim and their family to provide support and resources on next steps.

I was proud to be on this letter as we are currently learning that the IDF’s offensive in Rafah has started. There are over 1.4 million Palestinians - including 600,000+ children - stuck in Rafah with nowhere to go. For the sake of humanity, this offensive must not continue.

Incredible. The ceasefire mandated release of ALL Israeli hostages, a permanent & indefinite ceasefire—meaning Hamas could never offensively take up arms against Israel again—and Qatar, Egypt, USA, & the UN serving as Guarantors.

Israel still said no.😐

This is why I wrote about how Black professionals are expected to accept fake/half assed apologies after being disrespected in the workplace.

What happens if they don’t? They’ll swiftly be labeled unprofessional.

Follow the money.

Journalists and several others were arrested at UCLA this morning in a parking garage.

Our campus isn’t a war zone, and we can’t continue to treat students like it is.

They should all be released.

As a writer who was hit with a smear campaign and threatened with “Gawker-style” litigation (and worse!) last week, I understand why journalists avoid certain stories. But we can’t let the bully tactics win.
Thoughtful read from @JackShafer on how journalism lost its “swagger”

July 18th, 1986, the UC Regents met in Santa Cruz and voted to divest $3.1 billion from South Africa-related stocks and bonds, the largest campus divestment of the anti-apartheid movement
