The City of Fresno blasted out a $708K claim to smear us—now, under pressure, they admit it’s $81K. That’s a 600% lie. We prepaid rent. No rent is owed. What's next? @GraniteParkSC
Since my early days as a County Supervisor, I’ve been fighting against Big Oil. Companies can’t be allowed to rake-in billions of dollars in oil profits while hard-working Californians pay record prices at the pump. My absolute priority is lowering the cost of living, and I appreciate the Governor calling a special session to reign-in soaring gas prices. While I respect the Pro Tem’s position, the Assembly is united. We want the public to have a voice in this process, and that hasn’t happened yet. We need to get this right.
Fall Ball is so important in college but not in high school? I don’t get the disconnect. Fall is where you learn the most but you’re just going to skip it because you’re burnt out after only playing 5 months. Oh okay… you’re a serious baseball player. Sure
California spent $24 BILLION on the state’s homeless crisis

Please don't confuse local independent journalism with "astroturf" sites run by political consultants who reward clients and punish political opponents with faux news. This @Fresnoland story raises these ethical questions. https://t.co/LRqxe2HOEL @CityofFresno@MayorJerryDyer
Grandpa Corporal Wiley, we honor your sacrifice to this great nation. Your Spirit lives within me, and I will continue your legacy of fighting for the injustices of all people. To my great-great-grandmother, NATIVE AMERICAN Ann Foster, I will continue recapturing our stolen land.
In 1964, a white hotel manager named James Brock poured acid into a whites-only pool at the Monson Motor Lodge after Black activists jumped into the water during a "swim-in" protest.
—On June 18, 1964, motel manager James Brock poured muriatic acid into the swimming pool at the Monson Motor Lodge in St. Augustine, Florida, in an attempt to force out black swimmers who were protesting the hotel's whites-only policy. The incident was part of the St. Augustine Movement, a civil rights campaign that used nonviolent protests to challenge segregation in the city.
Brock's actions were met with outrage from the civil rights community, and they helped to galvanize support for the St. Augustine Movement. The incident also led to a national debate about racism and segregation.
The Monson Motor Lodge is no longer in operation, but the site of the pool where Brock poured the acid is now a memorial to the St. Augustine Movement. The memorial includes a plaque that tells the story of the incident and its significance.
