I'm really proud of the @KQEDnews team's coverage spanning so many different interests and needs related to #SuperBowlLX, which is coming to Levi's Stadium on Sunday, but has been affecting residents and cities for some time leading to this week. Strap in for a thread!

Spending against Proposition 50 has dried up in the campaign's home stretch.

Does the No side's top donor still think Prop 50 can be defeated?

"The short answer is yes," Charles Munger Jr. tells @bymadibolanos on @KQEDnews

“There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the US… I enjoyed connecting with Latinos who have been living in the US. But there was the issue of—like, fucking ICE could be outside [my concert].”

@KQEDnews Judge Breyer ruled today that the Trump Administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act by using the National Guard and Marines in LA and prohibits such deployment in SF and Oakland, as Trump has threatened. This is likely to make its way to the Supreme Court.

“In the nearly two years since Newsom launched CARE Court, it has reached only a few hundred people. That’s barely more than the law he criticized, and certainly not the thousands he promised.”

A tense encounter in #SanBernardino caught on video shows immigration agents firing at passengers inside a pickup truck. DHS says the driver tried to run over agents during a targeted operation.

[Mission Local @MLNow]

We're very happy to voluntarily recognize the Mission Local Guild!

We'll work in good faith with our staff on upcoming negotiations, & look forward to ironing out a contract.

Fresno County takes first steps toward cutting ‘woke’ celebrations. Here’s what happens next. https://t.co/lRTiCZL9X9

[Alex Padilla @AlexPadilla4CA]

Trump’s cruel ICE raids aren’t just hurting families, they’re hurting local economies.

In LA’s Boyle Heights, businesses reported losing 50% or more of their customers or revenue over the last several weeks.

Protest with your wallets. Support small, local, and immigrant-owned businesses in communities targeted by ICE raids.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

This statement from @USAttyEssayli comes one day after an @latimes report that prosecutors in his office are getting multiple cases denied by grand juries, which anonymous prosecutors attributed to claims of assault which weren’t holding up when the footage was reviewed.
