Many companies' abandonment of Pride and other diversity commitments has me thinking more about where I shop. Those that still support issues I care about are going to get my money, and I'm thinking harder about how to better support smaller local merchants, too. Choices matter.

Truly historic to be present today as Alameda County Board of Supervisors considers #MeasureC 5 year plan to invest in the early childhood system. In honor of the late Wilma Chan and for the future of the county's children!

Many of Padilla's fellow senators, Republicans and Democrats, have been watching the video and are disturbed by what they say. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski said "It's not the America I know." DHS says there is no issue with any of the actions.

I absolutely stand with my Senator. Everyone should respect the right of a sitting U.S. Senator to attend a press conference in his home jurisdiction and ask a question about the unreasonable use of the U.S. military against peaceful protestors in that jurisdiction.

Friendly reminder from Gavin Newsom about the times Pres. Trump *didn't* federalize the National Guard. Even when *asked* to do so on Jan 6 2021 after insurrectionists he incited to violence took over the Capitol. gov.ca.gov/2025/06/12/six…

Nearly two-thirds of adults oppose President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill”, according to a KFF poll. And even Trump’s most ardent supporters like the legislation a lot less when they learn how it would cut federal spending on health programs. kffhealthnews.org/news/article/t…

Saying 'happy' Juneteenth hasn't felt quite right especially in this moment of so many assaults on efforts to achieve equity, equality, and belonging. I appreciate the way Pete Buttigieg says it here: I hope you have a meaningful Juneteenth.

This provision breaks the promise by the federal government that no one should go #hungry. It threatens the very future of #SNAP which is proven to make life-long improvements to children’s lives The Senate should abandoned this disastrous idea! #HandsOffSNAP #SNAPmatters

Susan Collins could have voted to stop this bill from proceeding. We guess she wasn't THAT "concerned" about the 400k Mainers who rely on Medicaid or the 172k that rely on food assistance. #MESen

And with that, the marathon Senate session volleys the bill back to the House. I hope the people who voted to install this Congress and this President grow to understand what they have wrought on their fellow Americans (and quite possibly themselves).

Through a new initiative with our partners at ideas42 and Catbird Strategies (Cathy Senderling-McDonald), we're researching how helping students meet their basic needs, like food, housing, and medical care, can get them closer to their educational goals. Learn more: calbrig.ht/4llIMdR

I could not be more excited about the work we've already done and the next steps will take student service connections to an even higher level. Thanks Calbright College and ideas42 for the opportunity.

Illistrating the dichotomy of the group AARP is reaching - so you might want to get high on gummies, but don't fall for that unpaid toll text scam! And yes this is our personal copy. #proudaarpmembers #hubbygotto50first

I do wish Jandel would consider making it impossible for other players to steal your stuff in #growagarden - just accidentally went into a public server and one of the other players stole my 130b grand volcania I've been nurturing for the past few days. Why is this allowed?

So this is a game my kiddo and I play a lot - other than this stupid feature where people in public servers can steal your stuff, it's a really fun game and no one gets shot, unlike the other main thing we play together (Fortnite). And we're Chiefs fans ... so this is fun!

📢🏥 Attacks on health care = more people in CA with medical debt. Unless CA leaders step up! #AB1312 gets ahead of the problem - requiring hospitals to make assistance available *before* the bills roll in, rather than sending patients to collections. apnews.com/article/medica…
