As I lifelong supporter of a woman’s right to choose, I could not be prouder to have earned the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. I am committed to supporting the work of @PPFA, which has become even more essential in the wake of the Dobbs decision. @PPPSWHealth
Whoa, @91X is back! Sat in my car an extra minute to hear the end of @violentfemmes #additup, got back in my car and @PIXIES #digforfire was playing. Didn’t know how badly I’d missed it!

I wanted to thank @JakobMcwhinney for his thoughtful profile on my campaign for SDUSD, Brittany Cruz-Fejeran for her sensitive portraits, and @voiceofsandiego for covering the race and San Diego education issues more broadly. voiceofsandiego.org/2022/08/…
I’ve been too busy to follow the #UkraineWar regularly & closely, but these US-supplied #HIMARS are HAMMERING Russian command & control, ammunition depots, and bridges in occupied #Ukraine. There are only 16 in country so far and they’re already transforming the conflict.

Thank you again to @jemersmith at @sdut for almost single-handled keeping forest health reporting alive in San Diego. According to new UC Irvine study, forests in #SoCal “have shrunk by 14 percent since 1985.” sandiegouniontribune.com/new…

The family that Informational Pickets together, stays together. Proud to stand with my family — along with 1,300 other Southwest Airlines Pilots Association Union members in Dallas today — who 896 days ago proposed a new, industry-leading contract. #IStandWithSWAPA
“Sorry, I was waiting for the drums to kick in on @PhilCollinsFeed’s ‘In the Air Tonight,’ will always be an adequate explanation for tardiness to me. #intheairtonight #philcollins

The world lost a giant today. It’s hard to believe #PaulFarmer is gone.
Legendary Dr Paul Farmer: “The biggest problems facing us are structural—around poverty, gender inequality, disregard for others for many reasons—they are the fruit of an adoration and worship of a neoliberal order in which every person is a commodity.” #AIDS2018 @AIDS_conference

Conifer forests in NorCal may recover. In SoCal, without help, they will type-convert to chaparral & invasive grasses. Great to see environmental investigative journalism from the @sdut. Thank you @jemersmith sandiegouniontribune.com/new… – at San Diego, CA
Powerful series on our forests in crisis from a local SD perspective. Thank you @sdut @jemersmith. sandiegouniontribune.com/new… – at San Diego, CA

One of the lines that really speaks to me is when someone comes in and genuinely tries to help but makes more of a mess of it and then says “Well, looks like my work here is done.” It just combines so much good stuff—self-effacing humor, earnestness, irony, admission of guilt…👍 – at San Diego, CA

If you’re wondering how to vote on the #CARecall, or doubt the stakes, here’s a story I never told about 12-yr-old me vs @larryelder and anti Semitism.
Wow, I try to withhold judgment, but the falsehood and incoherence of this, uh, public testimony is really getting out of hand. – at San Diego, CA

The latest @IPCC_CH report states in the starkest possible terms the existential crisis we are facing with the #ClimateEmergency. Elected officials must partner with a vibrant environmental movement to make our communities livable, safe, and sustainable for working families!
