The past 24 hours in DC have been chaos. FBI, Secret Service, DHS, & DC police are roaming the district, forcibly displacing homeless residents & throwing away their belongings. This is inhumane, wastes taxpayer dollars, and doesn't solve homelessness. housingnothandcuffs.org/2025/08/15/h...

Gaea Powell, who was charged with nine counts of election and voter fraud, said she intends to file a lawsuit against the District Attorney’s Office.

The Republican candidate is the founder of a local group that opposes transgender students’ participation in girls sports.

The former candidate pleaded not guilty in San Luis Obispo Superior Court on Tuesday.

The federal government claimed California Interscholastic Federation and state Department of Education policies violate Title IX.

The Madre Fire forced the closure of a highway and sent up a huge plume of smoke.

The new home will combine three of the San Luis Obispo school’s existing facilities.

The city voted to stop flying commemorative flags — including the Pride flag — starting in July.

To settle a lawsuit over the Dana Reserve project, developers agreed to scale back the number of affordable units.

It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

The Cal Poly alumni started her company as a college junior in San Luis Obispo. Nearly a decade later, her once thriving business is suffering under Trump-era tariffs.

The resolution was brought to the board by a community member during a previous meeting.

I’d been covering the controversy centering on a trans student athlete’s right to play sports at school — now we get to hear her story. Honored to have my name on this but this interview and beautiful piece is all @joanlynch.bsky.social. And of course, Lily.

My latest for @sanluisobispo.com with @chloeshrager.bsky.social is a sit-down interview with the transgender Arroyo Grande High School track athlete who's faced backlash and national media attention for her participation in girls sports. www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/a...

The county could see a cut to its homeless services funding of almost two-thirds in the next two years.

Morro Bay's City Council voted unanimously to repeal a 2022 ordinance that allowed commemorative flags including the Pride flag to be flown, despite vocal opposition.

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

BREAKING: SLO County has lifted a boil order for several Five Cities communities two days after a water contamination alert was issued for the area. Not all local areas have been cleared yet. Here's the latest. @joanlynch.bsky.social www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/a...

Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report. Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today. opa.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...

Brilliantly said as always by @deminlawrence.bsky.social. Self-discovery has been the only road worth walking for me over the past year, and I was only able to do it because of the people who showed up for me. Happy #TransDayofVisibilty today, tomorrow and always 🏳️‍⚧️

UPenn just had $175 million in federal funding cancelled over allowing Lia Thomas to swim 3 years ago. It's not going to stop until they leverage federal funding to push out trans people from academia entirely. This will extend to bathrooms, curriculum, etc. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

NEW: Newly unsealed court documents reveal names of high-ranking Nike employees who were accused of gender-based discrimination and inappropriate sexual behavior. This marks the first time in the nearly eight-year-long case that the names have been made public. www.bizjournals.com/portland/new...

A debate over Housing First, the federal government's central homelessness policy, is shaping up to be a major conflict under Trump. But it's a debate bound up in confusion over what Housing First even *is* and what it's supposed to accomplish. The confusion is understandable...

Hundreds protest Trump, Musk in Presidents Day demonstrations across SLO County www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/a...

Republicans are doing this because they want gay men and transgender women to contract HIV. They believe that dying of AIDS is a deserved punishment for having gay sex, just as they think that forced childbirth is a deserved punishment for sexually active women. This is not especially complicated.

A nearly $5 million structural deficit in the Paso Robles school district will result in layoffs, trustees confirmed Tuesday. See which positions are on the chopping block:

Paso Robles city manager Ty Lewis will retire, ending one chapter in the months of turmoil that followed his $2.275 million claim against the city.

San Luis Obispo is giving safe parking another shot, this time via six parking sites around the city hosted by churches and city property. Homeless residents of SLO living in their vehicles have only had one safe place to park at night at 40 Prado Homeless Services Center since the summer of 2023.
