I report on the Bay Area, mostly Richmond and Vallejo these days for Richmondside and The Vallejo Sun. I post about Oakland too and might editorialize a bit about the town. I live there. Feel free to reach out: [email protected]
@zackhaber.bsky.social@zackhaber.bsky.socialI don't think it makes sense to refer to "the left" as if it's a group which thinks in unified ways and makes decisions together. It's, at minimum, lazy.
@zackhaber.bsky.socialVallejo police arrested a 70 year old woman "on suspicion of resisting, delaying, or obstructing a peace officer," and apparently roughed her up last week.
Really wild story in @vallejosun.bsky.social from Gretchen Zimmermann...
@zackhaber.bsky.socialShot in the dark: I'd love to connect with any lawyers familiar with California environmental and land-use law who are open to talking with the press on or off the record. Is this you? Anyone know someone like this? Hit me up! [email protected]
@zackhaber.bsky.socialVallejo's school district has agreed to a $150K settlement after a worker accused it of repeatedly ignoring their disability request to work from home, despite proving a doctors note.
New from me for the Vallejo Sun (@vallejosun.bsky.social)
@zackhaber.bsky.socialFor Vallejo and Benicia folks: @vallejosun.bsky.social just published loads of election coverage including three stories by me!
If you want to know learn more about the candidates, check it all out here:
@zackhaber.bsky.socialMacklemore wore a hooked nose, dark wig, and a fake beard in 2014 because he’s dumb as rocks, therefore saying Free Palestine is antisemitic 🙃
@esqueer.net PinnedReposted by @zackhaber.bsky.socialCis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth
@zackhaber.bsky.socialThis what-aboutism is really wild. Why debate Macklemore's character? The real question is: were his recent comments onstage antisemitic? And they weren't.
@zackhaber.bsky.socialI have two new poems in the new issue of The Tiny. My first published poems in six years 🤯!!!
Also new poems from local poems Lauren Levin and Isabel Bezerra Balée. Check it out!
@zackhaber.bsky.socialI also thought this meant summer camps for kids upon glancing at the headline and got confused
@zackhaber.bsky.socialSlow news day @mercurynews.com, eh?
@zackhaber.bsky.socialdamn this is so cynical. i actually like talking with taxi drivers sometimes!
@zackhaber.bsky.socialAny ex-Little Hill Lounge workers want to talk on or off the record 🤔? [email protected]
@zackhaber.bsky.socialWell this sucks but is important for folks to know about:
