Tom Steyer: “I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school. When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide. Then you think we’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport. It’s like, no we’re not”

Highlight of the night: 4-year old baseball sensation Waylon Fletcher threw out the first pitch for the @Brewers after going viral on social media for vidoes of him playing baseball with his dad.

@stevecarrera @cogmeyer Wish I knew about these a few years ago. Saves a lot of money if 1st 2 years done at CC, and kid wants independence away from home. So CC w/student housing is great.

@cogmeyer CCC professor here
I can in fact confirm that some JCs do have dorms. Sierra college, Santa Rosa and Orange Coast College just to name a few.
Not sure I believe the story above but some JCs do have dorms.

So my kid just finished a semester in the dorms at a CA junior college. His roommate is a previously homeless 18 year old that apparently got free dorm, free meal plan and even extra cash for checking the homeless box. He spent the cash on a gaming system. He dropped out the first month, but was allowed to stay in the dorm because... homeless. Today 5 of 6 suite mates got together to clean the dorm, to get their deposit back (and also to not be slobs).
This guy sat in a chair watching, because taxoayers payed his dorm deposit.
Anyway just a little report on CA efforts to house the homeless.

My Mother’s Day hit different this year…
Everyone asks if it’s hard without Mark and Jacob. It is. But this year, the hardest part was opening this sweet handmade card from Violet.
She made a big pink heart that says “Happy Mother’s Day”… and right in the middle, she wrote “Mark & Jacob.” And included Jacob’s favorite Bible verse.
My heart broke. I felt like such a bad mom — have I talked about her brothers so much that she thinks the only way to make me happy is to include them? That this day couldn’t just be about her and me?
I don’t know how to address this and it’s breaking my heart even more. They’re still part of our family and our daily life. But I never want her to feel like she has to carry my grief.

@MananaZoo LOL my son made us rewind this 3 times to listen to the silence.

@SophiaSLorey @CIFState @CAgovernor @CAFamily @WomenAreReals @xx_xyathletics @GavinNewsom "adding a spot (on platform) for a cisgender female". This is a GIRL, who had to share the winner's platform with a boy. Fix this nonsense NOW!!!!

@Brewpubpolitics @catherine_6907 I looked this up after seeing so many videos with little kids busting out in tears after getting a pet. It had to do with releasing an overwhelming amount of emotion at once and the brains attempt at regulation.🤷♂️

@catherine_6907 Cute but why do boys now cry when they are excited? I've never seen that before. Weird.

The jury found Josie Dikeman guilty of all charges on Friday afternoon for the death of her former boyfriend's son, 6-year-old Alexavier Pedrin. It took the jury about four and a half hours to come to this decision. Dikeman sat unemotional, her lawyer's hand on her back as the verdict was read. She now faces life in prison for the child’s death.

Spencer Pratt is the single best campaigner of his generation, and it’s not particularly close.

@elonmusk Dear Elon,
Movies should reflect the real world. In the real world, there are more black than white people. There are trans ans disabled people. To demand that movies respect this is just and sensible.
All the best,

@JenMc78734847 @IanRunkle yes they were talking about after Eric was murdered and before she was arrested.
English

@IanRunkle Something that disturbed me was reference to the animals not getting water or food. Which is awful. But there were two parents. What was dad doing about the animals if he had a psycho wife?
English

@BonnieESpeck @ThomasSowell Well, I on the other hand do have a problem calling a bio man a woman. He is a man trying to have the appearance of a woman. Nothing can change that. So there you go (shrug).
English

I have no issue calling a biological man a woman (except for physically competitive sports) once he has fully and completely physically become a woman with all surgeries but no taxpayer dollars should pay for it. That’s my reasonable compromise.
But up until then? They are still male pretending.

"They better do it. And if they don't, it's going to be a horrible look on Adam Silver and the NBA if they allow him to get away with this. ... Wemby should be suspended for a Game 5."
@KendrickPerkins says he wants Wemby suspended for Game 5 for elbowing Naz Reid 😳 👀

@InformedMama209 @WildesMillar Several times I had to report/rescue an abused dog, through Animal Control; it took many, many follow-up phone calls. Keep reporting it. If you ever see the dog tied up alone, time to snag him/her. Cant believe he/she was returned to a known abuser. Outrageous!!!
English

@WildesMillar Rescues can’t help if they won’t give up the dog. There are numerous police reports, she was even arrested after reports of her throwing the dog against the wall. She got out, and the dog was given back to her.

Yesterday I was In Tracy visiting my mom. On my way I drove passed this woman who was dragging this little dog. She was pulling her off the ground by the leash and hanging her. I did a u-turn to ask her if I can buy the dog but she wasn’t coherent in her response until i eventually heard her say no and walk away. Later I went back to try and convince her to let me have the dog but I found a man passed out on a mattress in the middle of the sun with the dog tied to him. She was panting with no food, water or shade.
Apparently this sad situation is a well known issue, reports have been made about her to Tracy PD but apparently nothing is done. I don’t get it. Cities come after animal owners if they aren’t vaccinated and licensed but allows this to continue. I wish I could take this dog. Been thinking about her all day
