This is one of the acute reasons we must build more housing in San Francisco, and California more broadly. I’d love to live in a country where trans people don’t have to flee their home states for ones with better protections, but we don’t and in the meantime we need to live up to our values here

They told us in Project 2025 they wanted to kill public transit, and they’re now working overtime to do it. They’ve not signed a single capital grant agreement for transit, in an effort to kill major rail, subway, and rapid bus projects across the country.

I just read an apparently serious claim that the Hopkins bike/walk/bus project will “gentrify” that North Berkeley neighborhood. Said neighborhood was developed on a history of racial exclusion, the effects of which are still apparent today.

The deadly terror attack against Berlin Pride yesterday is yet another reminder that LGBTQ people are under threat globally.

Today is your last chance to fill out a postcard for Hopkins! Find @prinzrob.bsky.social or @rosszb.bsky.social at Bike East Bay's Summer Brake event 5-7:30pm today. bikeeastbay.org/event/summer... It looks like it's going to be a blast and I'm bummed I'm going to miss it.

Make Hopkins smooth and safe for all!The bottom line: On July 28, Berkeley City Council will vote on whether to repave Hopkins Street with pedestrian, bicycle, and transit improvements (including protected bike lanes). Please send them ...actionnetwork.org

"Road rage" is what they call murder when a car is involved. It waters down the reality of the violence and the crime. When someone murders a fellow human with a gun, it's rarely called anything other than what it is: murder.
