🏳️🌈🖖🏽The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza as part of its campaign to stamp out Hamas terrorism. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. It is what my community once endured in World War II, all because of the actions of others who happened to share our ethnicity. Have we learned nothing? How will this possibly help deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.

The excessive heat warnings across the country today, and the people relying on Twitter to get information cooling centers, free water, etc.
If you run a social media account for an elected/agency, please bring up to your bosses that now is the time to start building up your platforms outside of Twitter too.

I hope they can find a good home here.

Support SB 423: Build more housing!
California needs to pull out all the stops to build as much housing as possible. SB 423 will turbo-charge the construction of mixed-income housing – just as SB 35 did for subsidized affordable housing. But its passage is no sure thing. Help show the legislature Californians want to make it easier to build housing and solve the affordability crisis: Contact your State Senator now and urge them to vote for SB 423!
PBICNew "Arrested Mobility: Barriers to Walking, Biking, and E-Scooter Use in Black Communities in the United States" report from Equitable Cities looks at transpo-related policies and practices that limit mobility, opportunity, and access for Black Americans and other people of color. It surveys laws that concern walking, biking, and rolling that also enable racially discriminatory policing, including laws related to jaywalking, bicycle equipment, and more.
