With return of algebra to San Francisco schools, Oakland Unified is now the only Bay Area school district to systematically deny all 8th grade students algebra instruction. Students have to take it externally if they want to take Geometry in 9th grade.

Hamas's latest revision of the fatalities list not only debunks the 'genocide' accusation but suggests the West was subject to another Big Lie about the Jews that made the implausible seem plausible

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

One reason the Palestine activists yell "genocide, genocide" all day long is that *they want to commit genocide* against the Israelis. It's the old "accusation as admission of guilt" thing, like when Trump calls his opponents "crooked".

The ferries on the SF bay generate $12M in passenger fares and have $145M in expenses. Ride them while you can, they are amazingly fast, clean, and almost always empty.

Oakland (presumably the East Bay) is just behind the second* tier of US cities for public transit use.

*NYC is in a league of its own.

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

New 2023 Census data lets us rank transit use by city, a solid proxy for urbanism.

NYC is the undisputed champ. Tier 2: SF, Boston, DC. Tier 3: Philly, Chicago, Seattle. After that there's a huge fall.

@TheRealMegJon That's what OAK is for - last-minute Uber rides!

[dto510 @dto510]

@TheRealMegJon That works!

@Most One of Miranda's great outfits too.

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

the fact that Kansas City’s publicly owned grocery store is struggling in part because it closed its jail so criminals immediately get released and then come right back using its free bus is so on the nose lmao

[Armin Rosen @ArminRosen]

This is such an obvious and banal point, but no one claiming Israel is committing genocide is behaving as if that's really true, or else they'd be demanding Egypt accept refugees, they'd be furious at Hamas threats against the GHF and its weaponization of aid, they'd be in favor of Hamas's surrender etc.

Instead it seems like the genocide people just really hate Israel

@about_dave @CAGOP Are they planning to increase the income ceiling for the credit? It's well below the media income in the Bay Area.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

To be abundantly clear: we did not change the rigorous standard for becoming a certified air traffic controller. Those claiming otherwise are mistaken or lying.
We did increase funding & training, and grew the ATC workforce after years of declining numbers, including under Trump.

[Oakland Report @oaklandreportca]

Oakland directs all city workers back to the office at least four days a week. The telecommuting policy has ended.

BREAKING: The next Alameda County district attorney is Judge Ursula Jones Dickson.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

we literally just had discourse over whether wearing an overcoat is "gay" and "affected." buddy you are about to be affected by PNEUMONIA

[Greg Shill @greg_shill]

In @TheAtlantic today, I argue the safe streets movement has taken an odd turn. Under the banner Vision Zero, not only is there just 1 acceptable solution—costly road redesign—but reformers now dismiss the importance of enforcement. Expedient, but deadly.

Gov. Newsom comes to Oakland to pressure the city to scale back pursuit policy, allow more police chases in town https://t.co/h2oHrpKuND

[Oakland Report @oaklandreportca]

Oakland's public safety staff declined by 206 employees (-12%), and other departments grew by 336 (+13%) over 5 years. Police will bear the majority of forthcoming cuts.
