The Governor signed my free prison phone call bill (sb1008)!!!!! Thank you @GavinNewsom and thank you to all the thousands of advocates across the state who worked on this!!!
For decades, families have skipped rent, meals, dr visits to afford a call with a loved one inside. It would cost $13M, or just 0.09% of CDCR’s $14B budget, to make calls FREE, connect families, improve reentry, increase public safety. @CAgovernor@GavinNewsom sign SB1008 today!
Every day I pick up the phone and make a call—to my wife, my kids, my neighbor, a fellow Senator…
Yet, there are people in California who can’t do the same because of the exploitative prison telecom industry.
We can change that @CAGovernor, please sign #SB1008.
Day 1 strike. It didn't have to be this way. Administration forced our hand. For many Faculty, this is their first strike. They are scared, but are fighting for themselves and for you...our students. Justice will prevail.

We are witnessing a judicial coup in process.
If the President and Congress do not restrain the Court now, the Court is signaling they will come for the Presidential election next.
All our leaders - regardless of party - must recognize this Constitutional crisis for what it is.
the next @UCBerkeley administrator to vaguely suggest my raise/labor victories like @UCAFT's amazing new contract are the cause of inflation will receive a beautiful gift bag full of barf

New in @LATimes: @AnneStuhldreher asks, what's the best way for @GavinNewsom to invest in low-income Californians with our $31B budget surplus?
It's simple: wean California off our reliance on fines & fees to fund gov't.
And here's how we can do it:🧵
