GJ boards @GreatHwyPark to de-stress from school.

"It's a peaceful way to get me out - I go to school and get a bunch of stress from what's happening over there. This just takes me out of it."

Prop I would permanently remove Great Highway Park. #NoOnI #YesOnJ

@razibkhan Maybe n of 1 but my husband (German) grew up under the specter of Chernobyl. Hearing him tell it, a lot of Germans became pretty skeptical of nuclear as a result. Also stuff like this https://t.co/7BPXyyG4zW

In this example from San Francisco, the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater is in blue, and publicly reported cases in red. The red curve might lead you to conclude cases are much lower than in January, but the wastewater values are as high or *higher* than back then! (2/4)

Against hundreds of years of congressional action, against solid #SCOTUS precedent, and hundreds of years of history, the Supreme Court held today that states have jurisdiction over certain crimes in Indian Country by judicial fiat. A devastating result for our democracy.

This #SCOTUS opinion in #CastroHuerta is an act of conquest. Full stop.

The right and power of tribes to rule themselves is being dismissed in favor of state power.

Tribes are…I can’t even write it…part of states.
