It’s been almost a year since I’ve set foot on campus, so here’s a thread on some of my favorite stills Strawberry Creek shot on #35mm Ilford HP5+

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK. This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible. After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars. WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know. As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom. Julian's freedom is our freedom. [More details to follow]

Latest for @boyleheightsbt. Spent some time with a few Eastside bike cliques in Jan/Feb to better understand the growing culture. "It’s family. We become family." boyleheightsbeat.com/bike-crews-rid…

This was first reported by Mission Local, but goes uncredited here. We are a small, non-profit newsroom, and we work hard to break news. This is bad form.

Waking up to find that you've just been scooped by a major news corporation is the worst feeling ever

Some @riconfidential placement for @ShutterClickGo! In July, the Bay Area had its worst algae bloom in recorded history, resulting in thousands of dead fish in local estuaries and lakes. Read his reporting on how experts believe it could happen again: richmondconfidential.org/2022/10/17/ric…

Will red algae return to the Bay? Fishers and scientists are concerned about a potential October bloom. @ShutterClickGo reports. richmondconfidential.org/?p=74925&previ…

THREAD: The biggest story of my life is finally out.  Since 2019, I’ve been investigating a monitoring tool called Social Sentinel. They bill it as a way to help save students’ lives.  I found it had another purpose — surveilling campus protests. bit.ly/3xxFWM7

We asked people in Richmond: Should Richmond increase police pay to make it easier for the city to recruit officers? Check out their responses. richmondconfidential.org/2022/09/06/ric…

A slice of the Labor Day weekend heat wave, from Dolores Park on Saturday. Temperatures broke records in parts of the Bay yesterday and are set to peak today. For @sfstandard.

That was when Dahbia decided to do something that renters almost never do in California: request a jury trial and fight the eviction in court.
