Low voter turnout in San Francisco today for the primary elections. Only 12% of young people (age 18- 35) returned their ballot, making us the least likely to vote of any age group 🥲

I live <0.5mi away from Starbucks, so today I walked over for coffee. To get there, I had to: * cross a 7-lane street * pass 4 gas stations * enter through the parking lot since there's no pedestrian entrance Why is @CityofSanJose built for cars? We need #citiesforpeople

An unspeakable loss for our nation. Rest in peace Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a true pioneer of equality and justice 🙏 Her tireless work forever altered the course of women's rights in the United States. Someday there will be nine.

Heavy smoke & a blanket of ash over San Jose this afternoon from the wildfires. Never seen it this bad before.

Bored at home? Don't forget to fill out the #2020Census! Census counts help determine how over $900 billion in grants, payments & loans are allocated. Make sure your community is represented and #BeCounted!

Today I thought of a book that I read years ago, about the social & political impacts of a flu-like pandemic. I looked it up on a whim and was pleasantly surprised to discover a sequel to "Lock In". Thanks @scalzi, for this excellent & prescient story 📗 #QuarantineLife

Happy #SuperTuesday! Whoever you support, whatever you believe, make sure your voice is heard. Californians can vote until 8PM; if you forgot to mail in your early ballot you can still drop it off at a polling place today. Find out where to vote 👉 sos.ca.gov/elections/polling…
