In 1973 Teamsters Local 888 in SF called for a boycott of Coors beer. By the fall of 74, the boycott included much support from the LGBTQ community. This photo from an SF gay pride parade years later features not only a lot of drip but a boycott Coors sign directly in the center.

@Badass when I first met her at the now @NUHW. After meeting, Johanna, everyone knew at least two chants in Tagalog and all the names of the knives. #Sheros

" I'm 87 years old...I only eat so I can smoke and stay alive.. The only fear I have is how long consciousness is gonna hang on after my body goes. I just hope there's nothing. Like there was before I was born. I'm not really into religion, they're all macrocosms of the ego. When man began to think he was a separate person with a separate soul, it created a violent situation.
The void, the concept of nothingness, is terrifying to most people on the planet. And I get anxiety attacks myself. I know the fear of that void. You have to learn to die before you die. You give up, surrender to the void, to nothingness.
Anybody else you've interviewed bring these things up? Hang on, I gotta take this call..... Hey, brother. That's great, man. Yeah, I'm being interviewed... We're talking about nothing. I've got him well-steeped in nothing right now. He's stopped asking questions."

You heard it from @POTUS tonight — we've got to tackle the child care crisis, and soon!
The lack of affordable child care options is hurting families, businesses, and our entire economy. Let’s pass the Child Care for Working Families Act. #StateOfTheUnion
.@POTUS just called for capping out-of-pocket prescription costs for all Americans at $2,000 per year.
I spent my career studying why people go bankrupt, and a top reason is health care costs.
This action by President Biden would change the lives of millions of people.
MONDAY: the #CAleg will celebrate 8 remarkable women as our 2024 CA HERstory Makers! Assembly ceremony starts after the 1PM floor session followed by Senate after the 2PM floor session. #WomensHistoryMonth2024#WomensHistoryMonth
Tonight, the CA Assn of Black Lawyers honored me with the Willie L. Brown Jr. Advocacy Award for my work in the Legislatire last year. While much is still to be done, I’m glad I can work alongside one of my favorite advocacy groups to make California a better and more just place.
Women’s history month has just begun & @CaitlinClark22 has already become all time top scorer in college basketball. Add @Stanford Coach Tara Van Derveer, most winningest coach in college basketball history, and you get what we already know: Women Rule! #girlscan
