Update: sister isn't coming at all, missing big birthday/anniversary party, vacation cancelled, niece missing her first chance to visit CA, after spending two days in the airport for nothing and hours on the phone. Moral: NEVER fly United.

[Laura McCamy @lmcwords]

My sister planned to fly from EWR to SFO on Tuesday to be with us for a big event and party on Saturday. #unitedAIRLINES canceled, rebooked for today, canceled her flight today, and rebooked arriving after the party. If it takes off. Way to ruin a holiday, @UnitedAirlines_

@GavinNewsom #California needs the slate of 16 bills that will make biking and walking safer. Sign the Active Transportation Slate: https://t.co/8RW7SVcKWI Supported by @CalBike & me!

@GavinNewsom Critical: VETO AB 371, the Kill Bike-Share Bill! The insurance requirement in this measure could end scooter and bike sharing that millions of Californians rely on. Don’t torch this climate-friendly transportation option. @CalBike

[Laura McCamy @lmcwords]

@GavinNewsom Please sign AB 1909, the OmniBike Bill! It will require cars to change lanes to pass bikes (when possible) and update the vehicle code to work better for people riding bikes. #ChangeLanestoPass

[Laura McCamy @lmcwords]

@skinner4senate The Bicycle Safety Stop (AB 1713) makes biking easier and sharing the road safer. It’s already on the books in 8 other states. It’s time for California to adopt the Safety Stop. Vote YES on AB 1713. #BicycleSafetyStop

@Portantino California needs shared bikes and scooters! Please don’t let AB 371, the Kill Bike-Share Bill, get out of Appropriations unless the author removes the insurance requirement.

I'm working on an article about the financial burden of getting abortion services for people from states where it's illegal and I'm looking for sources. Please DM me if you're willing to speak about your personal experience with this or if you are with a group that provides aid.

Until we reckon with the past, it will distort our present. I spoke with a group of tax lawyers crafting a proposal to begin funding government reparations for slavery and take a step toward closing the racial wealth gap. via @BusinessInsider https://t.co/SStbijgwln

I am 34 years old and I’ve had three abortions. Yeah, three. #aThread

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Abortion, which is lifesaving in cases of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, etc, will now be illegal in many states & even criminal in some & women will die as a result of this decision. So don't tell me you're pro-life.
