  6. Did you know you can commission a high-quality professional city-level survey?

    Turns out that 73% of Berkeley residents actually support expanding bike infrastructure — including 57% of non-bikers.

    This isn't a niche issue anymore. Will council listen?

  11. Berkeley’s got a rug war: a family sells their rug shop, the new owner keeps the name, and now the family's suing

  12. I research South Asian American histories in Berkeley, California. I just came across the earliest story yet.

    In 1880s Berkeley, a turbaned figure known as Old James wandered the hills.

    The “Hindu” immigrant milker on a dairy farm was a curiosity to neighbors.

    James' life, as a child on the farm remembered it, was a mix of labor, opium addiction, prophecy, and maybe loneliness. 🧵

    I wrote about him at

  18. Absolutely appalling report about possible radioactive dumping at the #AlbanyBulb, César Chávez Park, and other shoreline locations:
    “The fact that DTSC has sat on these documents for 44 years — shameful doesn’t begin to describe it,” said Janet Johnson, co-chair of the Richmond Shoreline Alliance.

  23. "My children spent their entire school careers in the Berkeley schools—successfully, I should add. I am also Jewish…the hearing marks an expansion of conservative and far-right critiques of public schools, which have already become battlegrounds over an array of controversies, from critical race theory and ethnic studies to LGBTQ rights and gender identity. However well-prepared Morthel…might be, it would seem to be a no-win situation"

  24. These Berkeley, California parents are using language that sounds pulled from the red state anti-LGBTQ playbook. The person quoted in the article complains that Berkeley's curriculum includes “no perspectives that Palestinians are committing…genocide.” It's so hard to be a teacher, there or here.

  25. I research South Asian American history in Berkeley, California. And though I hate relying on colonial police/surveillance documents to understand stories of movements, some of the materials are gold.

    This 1913 report from British arch-villain super-spy Hopkinson relies on informants to describe tensions among the early pre-Ghadar Indian nationalist students at UC Berkeley.

    It includes all kinds of juicy details, including…

  26. How cool is this? My local concert venue, UC Theatre in #BerkeleyCA, maintains a Spotify list of tracks by artists who'll be playing upcoming shows:

    open.spotify.com/playlist/77jN

    Discovering new music's hard for me, and this is such a helpful way to break out of my bubble. I'm probably going to go to this Movements show after hearing them on the playlist: theuctheatre.org/events/buy-ti

  27. A plug for the amazing new elaichi co. Pakistani chai shop in downtown Berkeley, California. They're in soft-launch this month, and yet so crowded every single night, chock full of brown college students. This is kind of an amazing year, between this and all the new Yemeni cafes.
