My fave assignment for #OaklandMagazine was writing a piece on Oakland’s 7th Street history as simulated by #Cal architecture & journalism students.

Rereading now while writing a #creativenonfiction book.

Have you played this game? If so, LMK:

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

E.P.A. Canceled $20 Million Flood Protection Grant to Alaska, Parts of Which Just Flooded

The remote village of Kipnuk planned to use the money to protect against flooding. On Sunday, it was inundated.

University of California & Cal State campuses have together shared the names of thousands of employees with the Trump admin as it probes antisemitism allegations. Faculty are demanding schools, which say they are legally required to share data, push back:

Or people could just, you know, run for office.

20,000 uncontested seats in 2024. Republicans won almost 80% without an opponent. In state and local offices. Where elections are decided.

I just reported the ad on YouTube as “violent,” but someone might also flag as “misleading.”

A circular emblem featuring a cartoon frog styled like an American revolutionary figure. The frog has a green face with black spots, white lower jaw, and wears a powdered white wig tied with a yellow bow. Around the edge of the dark blue circle, white text reads “GIVE ME RIBBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH,” parodying Patrick Henry’s famous quote.

Have you taken the #Shellmound freeway exit off I-80? Maybe you remember the protests when developers razed what remained of this Native American landmark.
