Publicizing executions won't make our communities safer. Research suggests it could do the opposite, increasing violence and desensitizing people to brutality. We should focus on reducing violence, not putting executions on display.

Fear and misinformation spread fast, and we will do all that we can to ensure our community has accurate information and knows where to turn.

We know many across our community feel anxious right now as they hear about potential increased enforcement.

Congratulations to Stanford’s Karl Deisseroth on winning the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his groundbreaking work pioneering optogenetics, a technology that uses light to control individual nerve cells. Another extraordinary discovery from right here in our community.

After a federal court halted plans for a detention center just outside Gilroy, the city acted to prevent ICE from trying again nearby. Thank you to the Gilroy City Council and Mayor Greg Bozzo for taking action and expanding our regional effort to protect our communities.

BREAKING: Last night, the City of Gilroy unanimously passed an interim ordinance restricting new ICE detention facilities.

Local communities across the Bay Area are standing up to the cruelty and lawlessness of ICE.

Today, we celebrate 68 years of NASA operations and American innovation. In our own community, NASA Ames Research Center continues building on that legacy and helping lead the next generation of aviation, exploration and discovery.

Happy 50th Birthday @samtrans.com!

After a tsunami warning and separate lockdown left Sunset Ridge Elementary teacher Rebecca Slater's students stuck in classrooms without food, she rallied local businesses, the Pacifica Lions Club, and families to stock every classroom with emergency snacks. 🧵⬇️

We need AI experts in the United States to be able to talk to their counterparts in China to forge shared safety metrics, rigorous evaluation protocols, standardized testing, and critical verification mechanisms.

If we develop the red lines today, we can avoid having to use the red phones later.
