A #sewage leak of 20 million gallons of wastewater into a #ContraCostaCounty wetland could have considerable ecological consequences for fish & wildlife.
As Baykeeper executive director Sejal Choksi-Chugh explained to KQED, "When you’ve got a lot of this wastewater discharging in concentrated levels in an area like that, we’re going to see some exposure to chemicals that are in wastewater. That's going to have an impact; whether or not we see that impact in this generation of fish and wildlife or in their next generation is something that we would have to see." https://www.kqed.org/news/12016804/how-major-east-bay-sewage-leak-could-harm-fish-wildlife

Good intentions but a late start on a hot afternoon lead to a shorter-than-anticipated #MTB ride at #MountDiabloStatePark
I explored some side trails and stopped for a shade and water break under a nice oak tree.

CW: #uspol, right wing political violence
It's just a little detail in the story, but here's another example of how normalized right wing political violence impacts public servants.
California House Representative Eric Swalwell reported that "his use of protective services is so ubiquitious that his young daughter’s drawings of the family include their bodyguards."
