A new wave of women in leadership @OPC_California, @CA_Coastal, @CAStateLands & @CalNatResources is shifting the tide on coastal management through equity, collaboration, & a softer approach to work/life balance. Listen 🎧 to the @KneeDeepTimes podcast ➡️ https://t.co/r7hN3ynLAa

Big climate challenges call for big picture thinking...but as always, the devil is in the details. Our stories this month dig into money, leadership, legality, and little changes that make a big difference. 1/5 🧵 https://t.co/Gp8AjjbBxD

California’s swings from drought to deluge may continue to get wilder as the climate changes. Can new policies make water allocation equitable as we adapt? Robin Meadows reports. @noka_oi  https://t.co/85SEQ6haBW

A few weeks ago, we reported on a public art installation along Chevron’s fenceline in Richmond, CA. The art was stolen; now, Chevron has admitted that the company took it down. #RichmondArtCenter https://t.co/ies3NnfBa1

This is such an astounding story about these incredibly resourceful and capable children. I told it to my 14 yo…how to even put it in perspective? via @NYTimes https://t.co/56Tlomhafg

With support from the @co2foundation and the @pulitzercenter, we've been reporting on the ways climate change is reshaping lives and locations in California. In part two of this special series, we reflect on a winter of water extremes. https://t.co/UQPTIZhhhN

Wander down to the edge of the Bay, and good odds you'll be standing on a seawall or a pile of broken concrete rip rap. Hardened to deflect waves and prevent erosion, these concrete shores are also inflexible in the face of rising seas. 🧵1/5

@alexisohanian @Lakers It’s definitely just you

[Allison Brooks @AllisonMetro]

@resnikoff Claiming you are moving to Emeryville because it’s safer for cycling is a ludicrous statement.

It’s hard to believe that the #OUSD teachers strike -now in Day 6!- is being done in the best interest of our children. It’s an understatement to say more days lost of learning and socializing in school is devastating for Oakland kids via @NYTOpinion https://t.co/o2vOwpHLI5

@NPRinskeep I always say Gen X is a little like Prince Charles. Mom just won’t quit and the kids breathing down his neck ready to take over.

This was first reported by Mission Local, but goes uncredited here. We are a small, non-profit newsroom, and we work hard to break news.

This is bad form.

This January, our stories match the weather: water from the sky, water from the sea, water bubbling up out of storm drains, and water that is no longer, "Someone Else's Problem." In our new issue, read about communities preparing for a wetter world. https://t.co/FWYdZMo45R

@ThinksTracy @chrislhayes Maybe call someone, do work of piecing things together. We all see the stories based on someone’s comment off someone’s comment on Twitter. It starts to not feel like real journalism. No wonder everything is so polarized. Everyone’s in their curated informational mind melds.

Check out this new report from ⁦@rebuildbydesign⁩. 90% of US Counties have declared at least one federal disaster since 2011. Lesson: most of us already experience and pay for climate change ⁦@nytimes⁩ https://t.co/H8zSzCbPRU

@ClaraJeffery I would argue that journalists relying on this website as their primary news source is producing some highly skewed reporting that has contributed to increased polarity in public discourse.
