A native of the Mojave who spent her adulthood in Oakland, I am interested in desert protection, Oakland and CA history, social criticism and American lit.

No, if you want more pastors like Fr. Martin, then you need to practice your faith. We are the Church, not the clergy.

California has gotten too damn expensive.

Healthcare, housing, electric bills.

Working people have built this state, and they should be able to enjoy living here without worrying about these rising costs.

I am dedicated to lowering costs for California's working people, who give their time, their energy, and their dedication to our state, only to be rewarded with peanuts.

SEIU makes this state run, and I'm so grateful for their endorsement.

@samsinger Had you ever eaten at Plank? It was not a quality operation.

@katieporterca Now is not your time. Drop out!

@katieporterca Please drop out and support one of the other Dems. You are splitting the vote! It is not your time.

@lorenmtaylor Will he have the guts to regulate AirBNB?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

[Lisa Hire @LisaHire]

@TomSteyer What will you do to regulate AirBNB in CA? Short term rentals are illegal and are stealing middle class apartments. They are also harming legitimate hotels. Do you have the guts to do anything?

This is a truly great cartoon

It questions why the beliefs of America's Evangelical Christians are so often further to the right than the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ

Conservative Catholics must reckon with the fact that it is they, not the pope or Cardinal Cupich, who need a course correction. -@MichaelSWinters https://t.co/ylcA4QIt9G

Establishing a performance dashboard for the City of Oakland was a core part of my campaign platform because we can’t improve what we can’t (or are unwilling to) measure.

Congrats to @MattMahanSJ/ @SanJoseCA on this launch. Now it’s @Oakland’s turn! #GovernmentAccountability

[USS Hornet Museum @HornetMuseum]

The USS Hornet Museum will remain open during the government shutdown. We want to remind the public that the museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and does not receive regular recurring government support outside of grants.

We're Sons of California
Fair mistress of the sea;
And we'll win for California,
Her glorious destiny.
Then raise the joyful chorus,
As her colors we unfold
For we'll win for California,
And for the Blue and Gold!

On September 23, 1869, the University of California held classes for the first time, at its original campus located between 12th & 14th Streets and Harrison & Franklin Streets in downtown Oakland. The campus had previously been the site of the private College of California.

The California Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Thursday that state regulators were given undue deference in deciding to roll back rooftop solar credits for homeowners, reversing an appeals court ruling that upheld the regulators' decision. https://t.co/Xyvr9XDBk8

#TrumpTariffDay is here again as new #tariffs are slapped on products from 90 nations. The cost to the average household is estimated to be $2400/ yr
💰Poor & low income families will be hardest hit because their estimated $2000/yr cost is 5.1% of their income
💰If you were planning to buy a house or car, tariffs on lumber, steel, & other supplies will raise prices 5-8%

[Jean Quan @jeanquan]

Trump now wants to dictate to other nations,too. He’s punishing #Brazil with 50% #tariffs to help his rightwing ally #JairBolsonaro, accused of plotting a coup after he lost the last presidential election. https://t.co/gDd3sdMvKv
We’ll pay for it by paying more for coffee & #hamburgers.
✔️Brazil is our 2nd largest trade partner
✔️For over a decade it has had a #tradesurplus with the US
✔️We buy 30% of our #coffee & 14% of #beef fr Brazil
