Hundreds of police @UCBerkeley’s People’s Park as trees are cut to make way for a perimeter to be installed. Kitchen razed and a few people arresred. UC says it’s a safety issue. #peoplespark #berkeley @EastBayTimes

TY @LilyJaniak for piece on importance of transit to Bay theaters. I take transit to SF theaters including @ACTSanFrancisco. TY ACT & @ShotgunDooley for strong support of transit riding artists, staff, & patrons like me. Plz support us all w/ better transit funding, @GavinNewsom!

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

Diminished BART, Muni and AC Transit agencies could also devastate Bay Area theater, writes columnist @lilyjaniak. https://t.co/6JYZDnsN0j

There is so much support for Evan at his alma mater, @BowdoinCollege. He was again everywhere at the class of 2013 10-year reunion (he is class of 2014). @_tessakramer @biettetimmons @lindakinstler #IStandwithEvan

Mainers should make note of what's happening in Nova Scotia. The fires there are more than 100 miles away, with most of that distance being open ocean, but their conditions haven't been too different from what we could face here (i.e., we need the rain) https://t.co/a5RDTzmR3X

Our Wall Street Journal friend and colleague @EvanGershkovich has been detained by Russia for five weeks. On World Press Freedom Day, we continue to call for his release #IStandWithEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime

[Erin Ailworth @ailworth]

I can't think of anything more fitting on #WorldPressFreedomDay than advocating for my WSJ colleague Evan Gershkovich, who has been wrongfully detained. We stand with Evan today and every day. Let him come home. #IStandWIthEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime #FreeEvan

[Mike Berry @mlberry]

Inspiring, indeed! Thanks to all who helped out (including canine friends) at @OurCityForest #ArborDay celebration

[Councilmember David Cohen @D4SanJose]

It’s inspiring to see so many volunteers planting trees to celebrate #ArborDay. Residents, elected officials from the city, county and state, and most importantly, adorable pups were all in attendance. We’re getting closer and closer to our goal of planting 1000 trees!
