Nevaeh began to miscarry the day of her baby shower. She visited ERs 3x and was refused care, even after being diagnosed with sepsis
On trip #3, doctor insisted on two ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise” before moving her to intensive care. Hours later, she died.

As @KamalaHarris reminded us all today when I joined her in Michigan with @Liz_Cheney, do not despair. Yes, we are all feeling anxious, stressed, unsure. But this is a moment for us all to decide how we want to move forward. To recognize that we all have a decision to make, and while we might disagree, that is part of the process. The American people have the power in their hands to choose the next president by exercising their right to vote. Let’s rise to this moment, but not give in to the hate and division. We can disagree on many issues, yet still come together in the end. In fact, today, I bore witness to what coming together for the good of the country looks like — country over party. That’s a decision only you can make, and only you get to decide. But in the end, do not despair. #vote
This captures 9/11 so vividly it takes my breath away. Leave it to the wastewater folk.
23 years ago today, i stepped into a routine sewer district employee meeting as a director was mentioning reports of a plane crash in NYC. we went on with our meeting.
by the time the meeting ended, everything had changed. we were only then beginning to realize it. 🧵

I was dismayed these anonymous callers again chose to share their warped views last night. While they have a right to speak, we as a council want to make it abundantly clear that we stand for love, acceptance and light, not hatred, ignorance, and darkness kron4.com/news/bay-area/anti…

Thanks for helping our city! In case you were wondering, that giant check represents federal funding for technology to ease traffic on YVR!
Today I met with @WalnutCreekGov to present funding that will help to expand broadband and facilitate smart infrastructure. It was a pleasure to join the City as we celebrate the benefits this project will bring to Walnut Creek.

Any one who’s worked within the state’s water rights system has to acknowledge how MacGyvered it is.
California has some room to breathe in the #drought – a perfect time to take a step back & look at water management.
In our hearing this week on water rights we tackled California’s future 🧵

Let’s all just stay put if we can.
We are seeing large amounts of standing water on the roads, to include major thoroughfares, residential streets and throughout our downtown. We recommend you not be out on the roadways unless absolutely necessary. If you do have to be out, please use caution and take it slow.

As a local elected, this is beyond horrifying. A free and fair press is necessary for local government to do its job. They hold us all accountable and make democracy work. Horrifying.

Just want to reemphasize that on climate, Ds have NOT settled for a watered-down version of the original goals. They got almost the whole thing. Here's emission reductions from the REPEAT project:
There are days when I’m so happy I’m a retired water person.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has a new number – 988. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or thoughts of suicide, you can call or text 988 any time, anywhere for support and resources. You are not alone.
Cindy Darling retweeted
988 is now live and taking calls. This resource only works if people know it’s there for them so please share this number and talk about it with the people in your life. You never know when this information could save someone’s life.
ALT Text reading "Beginning today, people experiencing a mental health crisis can connect with resources and trained counselors by dialing 988. Support is just 3 digits away, 24/7. Please share this resource with everyone you know. This knowledge will help save lives"
Walnut Creek passed this ordinance to require guns be stored safely so that they don’t get in the wrong hands. Simple common sense. I was happy to vote for it. mercurynews.com/2022/06/10/w…
