Thank you to Ms. Amelia Stafford for sharing your powerful story to promote ebike safety!

[David Colapinto ⚖️⚾️☕️🦋 @dcolapinto]

E-bike safety laws and regulations are needed.

Thank you, ⁦@JohnMaaMD⁩ for highlighting this case and the need for e-bike regulatory action to prevent severe brain injuries and deaths.

E-bike crashes sent over 150 patients to Sunrise Hospital in 2025, including two fatal cases involving minors.

@JohnMaaMD urges stronger safety measures, starting with motorcycle helmets for higher speed e-bikes.

This should be a wake-up call to Democrats fighting for the cause of urbanism and well-governed cities: if our party won’t solve the problems of drug-driven lawlessness and disorder consistent with OUR values, MAGA Republicans will solve them consistent with THEIR values. (1/2)

Proud to share that the San Francisco Marin Medical Society, where I serve on the board, officially endorsed an abstinence-first recovery goal for San Francisco. Huge thanks to @mattdorsey for having the courage to push for real change.

For too long, San Francisco’s drug policy clung to the fantasy that enabling addiction was compassionate. It was not. It was cruelty dressed up as virtue.
I saw the consequences firsthand, day after day, covering neuro trauma in the ER.

We are finally moving back toward common sense and putting recovery over ruin.

[Barbara Lee @BarbaraLee_CA]

As we head closer to April 15 – Election Day – I want to thank everyone for all the enthusiasm. I hope you'll continue to support Team Lee and donate to help our campaign for One Oakland: https://t.co/jzODGiYgrU

In conversation with Oaklanders, it's clear to me that people are ready for a united Oakland. But this campaign relies on everyday folks chipping in what they can, so please pitch in today: https://t.co/jzODGiYgrU

In their new Forefront article, @JohnMaaMD and Michelle Zhang from @SFMarinMedSoc and @AmericanCancer discuss how mandating the sales of reduced nicotine cigarettes to non-addictive levels, in coordination with adopting the WHO Intense method to accurately measure their emissions, has the potential to save millions of lives. https://t.co/KBZ3xCvL55

E-bikes promise to reduce traffic congestion and improve mobility. Unfortunately their appearance in California has been associated with a surge of e-Bike injuries, with many traffic violations. Children have most injuries @JohnMaaMD @RomeoIgnacio18 https://t.co/4IWtzJLAwd
