Love eating, resist tweeting, mediocre at rhyming. I report on a variety of topics in San Francisco and the East Bay for KQED, but this is all mine.

Last 43 evacuated homes expected to be able to return today in Oakland. Firefighters putting out final smoldering/hotspots like this one. #kellerfire @KQEDnews

@RadioBWatt It is quite cute--shiny and yellow and nicknamed Woodstock like the yellow bird in Peanuts AND oldest neighborhood in Alameda!

Starting tmw—you can take this former party boat from Oakland at the foot of Broadway to Alameda & back for free! Bikes too! Wed-Sun https://t.co/0q0BhFQGBq @KQEDnews

Last day of Berkeley horse racing at Golden Gate Fields after more than 80 years. Some are wistful, others elated. @KQEDnews

About that complaint: https://t.co/xjoIDgCQjr @KQEDnews

[Sara Hossaini @MsHossaini]

BREAKING: CAIR and ADC have filed a US Education Dept's Civil Rights Office complaint over allegations of severe and pervasive anti-Palestinian racism in Berkeley schools. On behalf of Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim staff and students. @KQEDnews

[Sara Hossaini @MsHossaini]

Complaint alleges: "terrorist" taunts after lessons referencing terrorism, a student's hijab ripped off, false accusations of hateful slogans during Ceasefire walkouts, being told Palestinians are "not a people" and "can't be discussed" by outside club facilitator.

Happening now: People from multiple Bay Area orga are protesting against Google's contracts with Israel today at the tech giant's annual I/O conference in Mountain View.

@HollyMcDede congrats, Holly--you'll have to teach me all your writerly ways!

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

We regret cabinet decision to close Al Jazeera in Israel. A free & independent media is essential to ensuring transparency & accountability. Now, even more so given tight restrictions on reporting from Gaza. Freedom of expression is a key human right. We urge govt to overturn ban

[Sara Hossaini @MsHossaini]

@DarwinBondGraha I would be embarrassed if this became the story because I couldn't get the story.

Several hundred San Francisco State University students and faculty rallied on Monday in a central campus plaza to demand the California State University system disclose its financial ties to Israel and divest from those holdings.

Administration hasn’t taken any position, but say the campus has a tradition of honoring peaceful protests while keeping folks safe. Says its investments reflect social justice bent but don’t address single issue geopolitical issues.

[Sara Hossaini @MsHossaini]

Tents going up at SF State, record breaking history of protests over the years. Today joining call for divestment from Israeli occupation @KQEDnews

[Sara Hossaini @MsHossaini]

How’s it possible I’ve never been to Glide Memorial Church in all my years in the Bay? Minister tells us “I hope you’re not here for a funeral because we’re here to celebrate the life of Rev. Cecil Williams”! @KQEDnews
