@CalBearsHistory @The_Campanile That foundation has held up well over these years. We have those workers and a few others to thank for that :-)

@CalBearsHistory @CalFootball @Cal @CalAthletics @JoeRothFilm Joe Roth's heroic life is a reminder that melanoma lives on - and that the game is not over. Be smart about the sun and get checked. #melanoma #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth @UCSFHospitals

“I live many lives, but photography is my own personal life.” 📸

Photographer Dorothea Lange was born #OTD in 1895.

Her work below shows San Francisco schoolchildren reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in 1942, shortly before the forced removal of families of Japanese descent.

Their ordeal might have remained largely unknown, like those of so many other asylum seekers. Only on this occasion, it was captured in its entirety on video. Harrowing evidence of Greece’s actions @MatinaStevis https://t.co/cTnooSMdg9

NEW: Clarence Thomas secretly accepted lavish luxury travel for decades from a billionaire businessman/GOP donor, in apparent repeat violation of ethics law.

Fmr judge: “It’s incomprehensible to me that someone would do this."

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” #DonaldTrump actually wrote today (12/3/22).

Can one use the word “unfuckingbelievable” on Twitter?

The Free Speech Movement in Berkeley began on Oct. 1, 1964 when Jack Weinberg was arrested for sitting at a table in Sproul Plaza supporting the Congress of Racial Equality. 3,000 students surrounded the police car. A 32-hour stand-off ensued, people speaking from the car's roof.

@alisonmartino Now, if only, you had a photo of Jim Morrison going down Main St. (Santa Monica) in one of these Santa Monica Transit busses in 1967, just as their first album is released (including the song that speaks of a Blue Bus like this). :-)
