Can poor people get in for free. Commercializing public space in Oakland is a growing problem.

@PhilTing @CFTunion What is a classified employee and why don't we need $100,000,000 worth of security services?

With @WOEIP at Rosten Woo’s ‘Mutual Air’ launch on Sun. Cassandra demo’ed the DustTrak used for #citizenscience air quality measurements. They are integral partners in the @exploratorium outreach Annette and I are doing. Go to @oaklandmuseumca to view 1st sculpture in Oakland

Wow! A six billion dollar bridge with bad bolts. A two billion dollar bus station with broken beams. This is really not the region that knows how to get it done!

#ICYMIThe only asset Henderson had left was his house, purchased in 2014 for $1.4 million. The SEC alleged that he used $346,000 in investor funds toward its purchase. https://t.co/H6oG6lU2l0

@fuqhare @celaiwest Why? No a good life for a child.

@danbrekke @queenasookkim Use headphones. That's what they're for. People are right on the edge these days. It's best to be overly aware of our own behavior. Not to excuse these two fools. They went way out of bounds.

We're designing the democratized data platform of tomorrow.

[Ramy Kim @ramymik]

An @OpenOakland contingent who works on the #WOAQ project with community partners @WOEIP are here today here at their HQ. We are excited to share findings with Brian & Jay from the listening sessions led by @sDesignLabs a few weeks ago with staff & volunteers

Answers to FAQs:
1) Yes, the sun's output varies slightly
2) Yes, the climate has changed before
3) Yes, we've considered that
4) Physics
5) No, we're not getting rich from this
The answer is still: humans are responsible for nearly all of the warming over the past 150 years

@CynthiaNixon @OurRevEastBay The DNC can't claim any moral high ground because their approach lacks integrity. They can't build a new future on a corrupt past.

@KumarsSalehi Maybe not be so cheeky. Those old people we're around for 20th century Iranian history. I remember the Shah and how that went down. Do you? Some very bad acting by this country. If the new generation of Iranians like us again that's good news, even if we don't deserve it.

[Ali Abunimah @AliAbunimah]

You won’t find the names of these two boys, killed in Israel’s bombing of Gaza on Saturday, in @halbfinger’s @nytimes report. They are Amir al-Nimra and Louay Kuhail. But to @nytimes their lives don’t count. https://t.co/JAXBkomO6g

Tonight the Arvin City Council approved changes to the city’s oil and gas ordinance! They voted to protect the health, safety, public welfare, physical environment and natural resources of the City of Arvin! Si se puede! #WeAreArvin #NotABan #ArvinOilAndGas #PeopleOverProfits

@guelo People move. Isn't that what social media is about?
We're no longer bound by geography. Don't fret. Friends are friends and we stretch our power.

Port jobs shrank by 80% with the introduction of containerized cargo. If we can save the remaining jobs and make them safer, while improving efficiency and reducing pollution, that could be a good thing for all of us. Bit it's a lot of "ifs". https://t.co/hXUYZajaEp
