From my partner who works in West #Berkeley: Before the #Tsunami warning was lifted, he and his colleagues were evacuated to the top of a parking garage with several dozen preschool kiddos (who, from the sounds of it, totally kept their cool).
For @guardian, I spoke with @KamilahVMoore about the fight for #reparations in CA. She told me that despite legislative losses, the movement has "truncated the hope gap" of Black Americans — reparations are no longer some nebulous idea, but a real possibility.
Mind-boggling investigation by @highcountrynews & @grist finds at least 5 tribal nations are paying states for access to more than 57,700 acres within their own reservation borders. Part of a much larger problem of state trust lands on Indian reservations: https://t.co/ucpsCHfanz
Absolute wildest finding here: Princeton University appear to own (or have owned) a Houston-based fossil fuel company that's earned the school nearly $140 million over the last decade. The university declined to comment. https://t.co/2cO06KEbfy via @dharnanoor

If you're up for chatting, plz reach out - DMs are open.
I started reporting this piece before giving birth to my son last spring. Needless to say, the topic holds new resonance for me today. I am beyond grateful to the moms who took the time to speak with me about their grief and hope for the future.
I follow several cooking accounts on TikTok (shh...) and one of my faves is a Cambodian former refugee who shares beautiful, accessible recipes in English and Khmer.
After months of watching her videos, I noticed she lives in Oakland.

i wrote about something weird and counterintuitive that's happening to our planet: it's turning green.
earth is a lot greener today than it was 4 decades ago, even though we've lost a third of our forests, half of our grasslands, etc. how can that be?

Remarkable. The University of Iowa's student-run newspaper purchases two area weeklies. This is what higher ed -- as institutions serving communities -- can do and should do. https://t.co/uvBEHJyVh4
