Thank you to everyone who reached out after this aired on Monday. The experience of grieving is so stigmatized and shrouded in silence. Yet we all experience it at some point.

Imagine if we felt freer to drop the facade, just for a moment, and be real about our pain. Even with a stranger on BART.

A few days after her sister died, Maureen was on the subway when a stranger asked how she was doing. The conversation that followed is one that she will forever cherish.

I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

OPINION: In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death, we must remember political violence is never acceptable — no matter how abhorrent the person, Tony Bravo writes.

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah.

Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence.

Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

In what era in America were kids encouraged to bring guns to school?

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · Sep 9

RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.

I'm working on a little piece of writing and I realized that I just don't know the little San Jose spots that locals know. Take "spots" broadly ... What should be on that locals-only map?

Trans people are dramatically less likely to shoot people than cisgender men are.

But it’s not about facts. It’s about their obsession with obliterating trans people. It’s straight up Nazism.

Trump DOJ is looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns, sources say | CNN Politics

Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.
