This must have been quite the hubbub: Candy companies will start to use chocolate again!! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

There is nothing so appropriate as Donald Trump speaking on April Fools’ Day.

More evidence that the supply/demand argument for perpetual building is garbage. Developers & their investors profit from need. Politicians promote density without considering utilities, sewage, & the cost of infrastructure knowing taxpayers, not developers, will pay. www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

Capitalism is only too happy to accommodate and absorb cultural challenges that don’t alter its foundations. Without economic transformations, the gains of identity-based politics are narrow — and reversible.

This is Jesse Owens at his gold medal ceremony after defeating Nazi Germany’s Luz Long at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The call is coming from inside the house.

I started covering this last year, and I can't overstate how important this is: the Trump administration officially labeled some of the most commonly-used forms of birth control as 'abortion' jessica.substack.com/i/173447780/...

"American whiteness is conditional the same way American maleness is conditional. Which is why the so-called manopshere is chockablock with shallow, MAGA-coded masculine caricatures." michaelianblack.substack.com/p/white-nois...

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

"Canites and Lagman, both 36, met several years ago in Las Vegas at WealthCon..." Dudes, the grift is in the name! www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

The push for sex verification tests is rooted in racism and they're explicit about it. Not a surprise they want to eliminate the 3 Black women in this photo.

This 50 yr old woman spent 5 months in jail accused of a crime in a state she's never even been to, because Clearview AI misidentified her as the suspect. A judge signed off on it, cops went along with it, no process in place to even question the AI. www.cnn.com/2026/03/29/u...

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

As always…”In January, I boarded Train 712 in the Bay Area to glimpse the future of California rail. It’s a mixed bag — service is frequent and affordable but sometimes unreliable after maintenance was outsourced to a private company.” www.sfgate.com/travel/artic...

Her grin knowing how this arrest looks (Published in The Atlantic today)

On this day five years ago, 13-year-old Adam Toledo was shot and killed by police in Chicago. He was a child with his whole life ahead of him. He should still be alive.

ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.

For people who sometimes feel powerless and hopeless, the building momentum of those of us who see the need for actual change and reform is so undeniable that corporate flacks are having to wrestle publicly with strategies on how to keep their stranglehold on power.

“…currently, women make up just 1% of the collection at London's National Gallery. “ www.bbc.com/culture/arti...

Great strategies here.

Tupac Shakur’s mother left us with powerful words. Every time I read something, that she has said, I learn something or I have an additional perspective.

In February 2026, Trump and his administration added another 48 atrocities to this list. #LestWeForgetTheHorrors

Did you catch it? Zygote/embryo/fetus = baby. Notice how there are 4 individual words there? They all mean different things. Only one is an actual person. No one aborts 'babies'. That's literally impossible. Christians lie. Medicine knows. You all need to know the diff.

It's great to see that once a pedophile, always a pedophile. Granted, no one knows if these girls were harmed in anyway but I don't think I would want any young girls anywhere near the place. #USDemocracy

No matter how awful the medical mistake, medical malpractice awards cap at $250,000. If you’re poor or a wage earner, your award is based on working life salary, so likely less. If you’re a wealthy CEO, your life is presumed more valuable, so your award adds lifetime net value.

TN is banning a Jewish couple from adopting...because they're Jewish. Christian nationalism and Project 2025 are trying to force a theocracy in America. We must maintain separation of religion and state. My piece on this painful story: www.qasimrashid.com/p/from-expul...

Politicians spout slogans to appear they're addressing problems. We must ask follow up questions to pat answers. Claiming building more will lower home prices fails w/ realities of our economic system. Wealth disparity, not quantity, is the core affordability problem. 48hills.org/2026/03/the-...

Sidenote: because traffic can be terrible, emergency patients have to be helicoptered to Oakland or San Francisco, sometimes all the way to San Jose. Insurance does not cover that cost. Decades of politicians have you refused to revamp our healthcare system. www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

Elizabeth Warren’s 2021 wealth tax would have raised $3 trillion over 10 years. Because billionaire wealth has grown so much since then, her new wealth tax proposal would raise $6.2 trillion. Still wondering if we should tax the rich?

Trump: "We love the American farmer. I just gave you $12 billion. I don't know if you know that or not. You make enough money, it doesn't matter to you, right?"

It. Is. In. The. Fourteenth. Amendment. It. Is. A. Right.

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

Man…when I was coming up as an investigative reporter at Fortune, the writing and editing process was grueling (and rewarding!). What an embarrassment this is for a brand that meant so much to us.

Simple as that.

The defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, prayed during a religious service at the Pentagon that there be “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy”. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

Literally everyone: “You should use your office to make working people’s lives better” Shapiro: “I can’t do that! That would make my billionaire megadonors unhappy!” Everyone: “isn’t there ANYTHING you can do?” Shapiro: “I can virtue signal?”
