I am deeply honored to be named president of @wbaidlaw.bsky.social At a time when, too often, we see the worst of human behavior reflected in the headlines, it is a privilege to be working with the bravest and most determined among us. Let's save our democracy, together! Onward.

Wow! Former LA city heat officer Marta Segura brings receipts after Karen Bass' statements in last week's environmental policy mayoral debate. Bass said Segura was removed due to her office's supposed failure to complete a climate action plan. Read here: martaspeaks.medium.com/the-real-cit...
What the record shows
Three facts, all in public documents linked at the end. 1. The ordinance that created my office never assigned the Climate Action
and Adaptation Plan to CEMO. 2. When the City funded that plan in 2024, the $1.5 million went to the City Administrative Officer to hire a consultant to get it done through our CAO's budget office, and a Climate Impact Team was created there. This
Mayor signed that budget. 3. The Mayor's own climate plan, published in April 2026, states that the CAO's budget office was instructed to develop the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan. (A consultant also created this, with minimal
community input.) So the Mayor put the climate plan in another department, paid for it there, and wrote that decision into her own climate plan. Then, at the forum, she said my office failed to finish it, when it was never our assignment, and gave that as the reason to cut the office and remove the founding Chief Heat
Officer. Both accounts cannot be true.

The most charitable reading of Garcetti's new role is that our former mayor who forged LA's Olympics deal is now going to make sure a lot of people profit from the surveillance state he personally imposed upon the city

BREAKING: The Trump administration tried to falsely declare 2.7 million people as dead in Social Security records in order to upend their lives. Our client, whistleblower Jeremiah Schofield, spoke with the Washington Post about his explosive new revelations.

A former Social Security executive said the plan, which was not carried out, would have used a death database to pressure immigrants to leave the country.

Have you ever called out someone's bad behavior and been told to assume "good intent"? Too often "good intent" is used as a substitute for accountability. When women insist on accountability, it is often seen as friction instead of leadership. www.fastcompany.com/91514684/the...

How the 'empathy trap' keeps women out of leadership roles
The problem is not awareness. It is permission for inequity to persist.

It is pretty hard to get 'cancelled' due to sexual misconduct if you are a powerful man even in San Francisco. Of 70 men who faced public allegations (2010 - 2026), 76% are professionally active, 41% in the same or an elevated role. Only 2 in prison. sfstandard.com/2026/04/20/7...
sfstandard.com
70 powerful Bay Area men were accused of sexual misconduct. What happened next?
Since 2010, scores of prominent local men have faced allegations ranging from sexual harassment to rape. Most have returned to the highest echelons of public life.

As a former whistleblower, I know the #Swalwell playbook all too well. How did it go on so long? At @ms.now I write that the culture in both parties too often enables powerful predators while cowing those around them into silence. That must change. www.ms.now/opinion/eric...

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.
