TY @LilyJaniak for piece on importance of transit to Bay theaters. I take transit to SF theaters including @ACTSanFrancisco. TY ACT & @ShotgunDooley for strong support of transit riding artists, staff, & patrons like me. Plz support us all w/ better transit funding, @GavinNewsom!
Diminished BART, Muni and AC Transit agencies could also devastate Bay Area theater, writes columnist @lilyjaniak. trib.al/Pxjy3vZ

There is so much support for Evan at his alma mater, @BowdoinCollege. He was again everywhere at the class of 2013 10-year reunion (he is class of 2014). @_tessakramer @biettetimmons @lindakinstler #IStandwithEvan

Mainers should make note of what's happening in Nova Scotia. The fires there are more than 100 miles away, with most of that distance being open ocean, but their conditions haven't been too different from what we could face here (i.e., we need the rain) bangordailynews.com/2023/05/…
Congrats to @ingrid_rojas_c, @CCooperJones, @huahsu and to all finalists and winners of 2023 @PulitzerPrizes

Our Wall Street Journal friend and colleague @EvanGershkovich has been detained by Russia for five weeks. On World Press Freedom Day, we continue to call for his release #IStandWithEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime

I can't think of anything more fitting on #WorldPressFreedomDay than advocating for my WSJ colleague Evan Gershkovich, who has been wrongfully detained. We stand with Evan today and every day. Let him come home. #IStandWIthEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime #FreeEvan

Inspiring, indeed! Thanks to all who helped out (including canine friends) at @OurCityForest #ArborDay celebration
It’s inspiring to see so many volunteers planting trees to celebrate #ArborDay. Residents, elected officials from the city, county and state, and most importantly, adorable pups were all in attendance. We’re getting closer and closer to our goal of planting 1000 trees!

"He said he was just one of the few left there. He felt like it was his duty to report." Heart-wrenching interview with Evan's family. #FreeEvan
