Protesters gathered after an ICE officer fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican immigrant in Houston, on Tuesday during an attempted traffic stop arrest.

Investigations into the shooting are underway. https://t.co/Xa8NnXGOHH

Very disappointed that @Scott_Wiener cancelled our interview. I had hoped to give him what the hecklers at the Trans march didn't: The chance to thoughtfully answer people critical of his views on Israel-Palestine. On an issue this weighty, avoiding hard questions isn't good politics. Nor does it show moral courage.

I'm not really understanding the tactical political value of Wiener not speaking to JC.

@GavinNewsom @CAConservCorps The Conservation Corps are *VITAL* to California and to the youth who are leaving foster care and trying to enter the workforce. Thank you!!

[Flowers of Capp Street @FlowersOfCappSt]

love them. The Conservation Corps actually employ, pay, hire and train California youth and get them started in the workforce.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

For five decades, the @CAConservCorps has empowered young Californians to leave our state better than they found it.

Corpsmembers have protected California's natural beauty, answered the call in times of crisis, and helped build a more resilient state.

California is stronger because of every Corpsmember who's answered the call. Thank you for your service.

be safe and stay alert!

and kudos to ABC7 for using the correct name "SF General"!

[ABC7 News @abc7newsbayarea]

According to Dr. Colwell at SF General, four people lost eyes, five lost hands and at least 15 people suffered serious injuries related to electric scooters over the 4th of July weekend. ABC7's data team reviewed San Francisco EMT data and found that medical incidents on July 4 and July 5 were about double the number reported during the same period in 2025.

Ang Lee is using the sierra foothills of Amador county for his new film, Gold Mountain, and filmmakers get tax credits for filming in CA thanks to @FilmCalifornia

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

Had an amazing tour of the set for Oscar-winning director Ang Lee's upcoming film, Gold Mountain.

Thanks to our expanded @FilmCalifornia Tax Credit, more projects can be filmed right here in California, turbocharging our status as entertainment capital of the world.

California is returning a stretch of rugged Mendocino County coast to the Indigenous nations whose ancestors once stewarded its shores. https://t.co/e1QDoMacUw

@48hills reminds me of Kamala Harris

[48 Hills @48hills]

The office of District Attorney Brooke Jenkins sought felony charges against a man with substance issues who stole four jackets from Macy's.

A Superior Court judge essentially ordered that a case be dismissed before it went to the jury.

@internetarchive but also here in the bay area we have:
1. The Jepson Herbarium at Cal
and
2. The library at Strybing Arboretum
Why sit on your ass indoors staring at a screen when you can go to a local bay area institution committed to CA plant diversity and preservation in person?
