I am concerned that Oakland is going to get slammed and won’t get the press coverage or sympathy that SF would.

All of this. Especially the part where the H1B program has _always_ been a way to get workers you can fuck with more than people with the rights permanent residents have.
This story is worth a read, but it's so frustrating to see, since I know virtually everyone quoted in it (and the author) and ... there were *lots* of people warning of these coming dangers. Andreessen became a baby about his feelings long before taking offense to the slight from the Biden admin.
A snapshot of Silicon Valley in 2025 is Mark Zuckerberg, now a MAGA-friendly mixed martial arts fan who doesn’t worry much about hate speech on his platforms and complains that corporate America isn’t masculine enough.

Growing up in central California rice country, this story is not surprising, but none the less infuriating. The H-2A program, which this ghoul uses to get seasonal labor brings people into potentially lethal work conditions. Bonus: he's fighting legislation to mandate worker protections.

When a Florida Farmer-Legislator Turned Against Immigration, the Consequences Were Severe. But Not for Him.
For a lawmaker’s political career and his farm, a federal visa program was a lifeline. For a young father trying to meet his son’s mounting medical needs, that same lifeline failed him.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I possess the radical view that children should have certain rights to public knowledge despite what their parents’ particular beliefs are.
This is actually really easy to understand.
Do you want your kids going to a school that teaches them that abusing people is ok? If not, why not - can't you just tell them, when they get home, "that's what they think, but they're wrong?"
Education has an impact. Environment has an impact. That's

I don't understand how you can believe that someone teaching your children things against your religion undermines your religion, but I guess they would say my not understanding that is their point.
