I’m so angry & heart broken. My NSF CAREER grant was stolen today; dream project supporting science teachers/students as climate justice action researchers, tackling urban heat. Truly transformative, the culmination of my life’s work, we won’t stop, not in this climate crisis. Gonna fight like hell!

The crowd was cheering wildly for her and chanting M-V-P! 🙌🏼. The incredible thing about the #Valkyries is that it’s all STARS and no egos. It’s family first. Stokes is humble AF - 3 for threes tonight, she deserves all the flowers. I’m turning out for her block party any time! #GSV #Finals 🏀💪🏼🫶🏼

The greatest gift the #Valkyries brought the Bay under Coach Nakase is pure electric JOY. This only happens with intention, trust building, rockstar leadership. #Ballhalla is community, a movement of radical joy, built by the team and their fans. I’m so honored to be part of it! #GSV🫶🏼🏀 #Game5Vibes

Cool to see #Valkyries love at SFO! 🙌🏼 #GSV #Ballhallah #GoValks 🏀💪🏼

“Being an American is in our hearts, it’s in our dreams. It’s in being honest, and upstanding and forthright. We will not be conned out of our dignity.”💪🏼🔥

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

This is absolutely jarring and incredibly chilling. Sally Rooney is one of the most compassionate writers about the human experience, of our time. Just finished Intermezzo and ironically also the author of: Beautiful World, Where are You, among many others. STAND WITH SALLY!

From the time he was SF mayor to today, Gavin Newsom has always been performative and opportunistic. He's shown us Californians, over and over, who he is. It's about time we listen. And just FYI, far right extremists like Nick Fuentes love him...that says a lot, none of which is good.

I think a lot about Anas Baba, the Palestinian @npr.org journalist reporting from Gaza. His work provides a rare glimpse into the horrors. Baba’s stories with @danielestrin.bsky.social (in Jerusalem) are so powerful and heartbreaking. His photos from Gaza during a year of “ceasefire” must be seen 💔

This is striking to me about the #Valkyries, you have this rock star roster but every interview, every player no matter what star, when asked to reflect on THEIR performance, within 5 words goes to, IT’S THE TEAM. No egos. It’s so refreshing. This post game Williams Stokes intv🔥🫶🏼! #WNBA #Finals #GSV

Here is a collection of my favorite Golden State Valkyries photos from this season. Feel free to share! Thanks! #valkyries #Ballhalla #ValksFam #goldenstatevalkyries #wnba #photojournalism #photography

So STOKED! 🙌🏼The whole #Valkyries roster should be pictured, that's how they play. Best thing to happen to Bay Area sports. It's not just how these women level up but how they play the game. Epic assists, power blocked shots, connection, team work makes the dream work at its best🏀💪🏼 #GSV #Ballhallah

Golden State Valkyries' Gabby Williams (1) shoots a basket against the Las Vegas Aces in the third quarter of Game 1 of the WNBA Semifinals at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026. The Golden State Valkyries defeated the Las Vegas Aces 71-60. #wnba #valkyries

Is this an insulting joke? How could you publish, report or be quoted in this?!! Like, hmmm, no ideas why kids these days are less likely to come out as LGBTQ+?!!!! Hint: it’s not that there are less gays lol. All this survey tells us is that young ppl are as bright as I know them to be….😵‍💫😤💪🏼

What I love about the #Valkyries besides that their dominating in their second round of playoffs, is that you see sponsors like TAMPAX proudly displayed under the official's table. It's such positive energy and an incredible embrace of women's sports! 🏀 #Ballhalla #GSV #LetsGoValks #WNBA

Seeing the #Valkyries in their home stadium is something I wish everyone could experience! It's just pure joy and genuine community. I left the last game friends with the couple next to me. It's the hope we need in the world right now!! 💪🏼🫶🏼🙌🏼

I’m so over the dramatic stories of the small town farmer, trucker, “non-political guy” who are sad because the admin’s policies negatively impact them, but the critical part that THEY VOTED for this inhumanity is buried. Like, put the truth up front and engage the complexity, that’s worth writing 😤

NYC is opening 160 car-free (but treat-filled) streets and plazas to enjoy fun and safe fall festivities this spooky season. Find one near you at nyc.gov/trickorstreets.

Holy smokes got to see the #Valkyries advance in the playoffs after a serious nail biter. They found their groove in the 3rd quarter and finished strong. The energy at Chase and around them in general is absolutely incredible to experience. Shout out to Williams’ clutch free throws #Ballhallah #GSV

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

I’ve been doing work supporting youth-led community-based science and action research for decades and never made the connection between my passion for creating opportunities for youth empowerment and THIS!!!Angela Davis says youth/intergenerational activism generates hope, holy smokes, thank you! 💪🏼🔥

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Let the record show: We’re launching a new podcast! On each episode, our hosts Shereen Marisol Meraji and Mr. Beat discover the people, places, and narratives behind major court cases from U.S. history.

Timeline cleanse with this photo of my cute pup Papaya. A rescue and great joy, found in a cardboard box on the side of the road at a few weeks old along with her 4 siblings. Find the joy and kindness in your life today. We rise together, and rejuvenating keeps us going 🫶🏼💪🏼

This is how I started my class last week. And yeah, sure, I don’t understand the intricacies of how AI could destroy us, maybe, but, the problem is, as the planet breaks heat records, I do understand how climate-related impacts everyday, right now, harm the most vulnerable humans while we do nothing

I went to my first Golden State #Valkyries game tonight. Genuinely got tears in my eyes when first heard the crowd in the packed house ROAR! Basketball was my life growing up. I never thought I’d see the day when the #WNBA is celebrated so fully. I’m hooked! 🏀🫶🏼 #SFBay #Ballhalla

PER DAYYYYYYYYYYYY 🤬😡🤬

Interesting that the #climate crisis which is actively, today, destroying humanity around the globe doesn’t garner this type of cross ideological support…..Bannon as “pro-human” lol

Matthew Rhys getting the flowers he deserves for his roles in Widow's Bay and The Beast in Me. I used to think of him simply as Keri Russell's husband but he's a fav of mine now too. This interview is fascinating. Maybe these #Emmys will boost his confidence? Prob not. Big love to the Russell-Rhys 🫶🏼

“In June, the DOJ… joined a conservative group's lawsuit alleging that (Evanston’s) plan is racially discriminatory because only Black people qualify.” ONLY BLACK PPL QUALIFY FOR #REPARATIONS BECAUSE ONLY BLACK PPL WERE BANNED, YES BANNED, FROM OWNING HOUSES YOU MF’ERS. Fight like hell! 💪🏼

I fixed the headline: As the planet breaks heat records year after year, the largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions commits crime against humanity

As a prof, I prepare science teachers. We interrogate bias - my goal is to support them as inclusive, justice-centered curricular designers. I always problematize the term "microaggressions." Because WHO are they micro TO? The aggressor? Definitely not those who carry this vile weight decades later🫶
