I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

They’re designed to keep people engaged and subscribing, even if that means leading users into a false sense of reality and encouraging antisocial behavior. As Rebecca Solnit said on\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101910311/rebecca-solnit-on-approaching-these-times-with-hope-imagination-and-perseverance\"> KQED’s Forum\u003c/a> recently, “Silicon Valley stole us from each other and is now busy trying to sell us alternatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, there’s no putting the proverbial genie back in the bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to figure out how to use it well,” said Bruce Reyes-Chow, a progressive Presbyterian pastor in San José. “It’s just like social media. How do we help people use it to the best of its ability and not have it be destructive to our spirit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His biggest concern?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What information is being scraped to feed [AI] responses?,” he said. “Our narrative around Christianity in the United States right now is a version that I rebuke — this kind of nationalist,\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101889735/religious-influence-on-u-s-politics-grows-even-as-americans-become-more-secular\"> conservative, evangelical\u003c/a> version of Christianity. I’m worried that the version of the tradition that I am part of is going to be skewed by whoever has the most information out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chatbots will give you what you ask for, but as seen in other areas, if you don’t know what you don’t know, it’s easy to miss AI’s mistakes or “hallucinations.” For instance, if you specify you want progressive Presbyterian wisdom, that’s likely what you’ll get.

They’re designed to keep people engaged and subscribing, even if that means leading users into a false sense of reality and encouraging antisocial behavior. As Rebecca Solnit said on\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101910311/rebecca-solnit-on-approaching-these-times-with-hope-imagination-and-perseverance\"> KQED’s Forum\u003c/a> recently, “Silicon Valley stole us from each other and is now busy trying to sell us alternatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, there’s no putting the proverbial genie back in the bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to figure out how to use it well,” said Bruce Reyes-Chow, a progressive Presbyterian pastor in San José. “It’s just like social media. How do we help people use it to the best of its ability and not have it be destructive to our spirit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His biggest concern?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What information is being scraped to feed [AI] responses?,” he said. “Our narrative around Christianity in the United States right now is a version that I rebuke — this kind of nationalist,\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101889735/religious-influence-on-u-s-politics-grows-even-as-americans-become-more-secular\"> conservative, evangelical\u003c/a> version of Christianity. I’m worried that the version of the tradition that I am part of is going to be skewed by whoever has the most information out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chatbots will give you what you ask for, but as seen in other areas, if you don’t know what you don’t know, it’s easy to miss AI’s mistakes or “hallucinations.” For instance, if you specify you want progressive Presbyterian wisdom, that’s likely what you’ll get.

In a statement on Wednesday, Harris said after “deep reflection,” she will not be pursuing elected office “for now” — leaving the door open for a potential third presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her decision will help unfreeze fundraising for other Democrats already running for governor, as many major donors were waiting for Harris’ decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It finally begins the race; it’s almost like the starting gun truly goes off now,” said Democratic strategist Kevin Liao. “Now I expect these donors are getting plenty of calls from the other candidates starting today, and it really allows these candidates to flesh out their vision for the state without this looming presence of Harris.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12042298\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12042298\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/harriss5_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/harriss5_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/harriss5_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/harriss5_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/harriss5_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/harriss5_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/harriss5_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kamala Harris speaking at the DNC’s summer meeting in San Francisco on Friday, Aug. 23, 2019. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Democrats already had a strong field of gubernatorial candidates, including former Health and Human Services Secretary \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12034105/xavier-becerra-enters-california-governors-race-citing-break-glass-moment\">Xavier Becerra\u003c/a>, Lt.

But Liao said the campaign would not have been a coronation, and Harris would have faced Democratic voters frustrated with party leadership, along with questions about her knowledge of former President Joe Biden’s fitness for office.[aside postID=news_12049973 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/GavinNewsomAPJuly2025.jpg']“There’s a lot of dissatisfaction with the status quo in California, whether it’s around homelessness, whether it’s around the cost of living,” Liao said. “Having someone who pretty much epitomizes the status quo, the person who was vice president, who was the Democratic nominee for president, would have made it challenging for her and would have presented opportunities for opponents of hers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12037919/san-francisco-kamala-harris-speech-warns-constitutional-crisis\">first major political speech\u003c/a> since leaving office in January, Harris warned in April that the constitutional system of checks and balances had “begun to buckle” within the first 100 days of the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Sen. Laphonza Butler, a longtime Harris advisor and confidant who filled the Senate seat left vacant by Dianne Feinstein’s death, noted the relentless scrutiny that Harris faced as vice president and during her campaign last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been increased polarization during her time of public service, and I think that that is something that she has come to expect, unfortunately, as a part of being a public-facing figure,” Butler said. “That being said, I don’t think that the fear of that was a part of her decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Running for governor almost surely would have ruled out a bid for president in 2028 because the term begins in January 2027, when the presidential race will be underway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12030712\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12030712\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/AP25069706250720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/AP25069706250720.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/AP25069706250720-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/AP25069706250720-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/AP25069706250720-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/AP25069706250720-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">U.S. Rep.

The injunction and other terms UCLA has agreed to demonstrate real progress in the fight against antisemitism,” the plaintiffs said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result of the $6.4 million settlement, the University of California system and UCLA itself will contribute $2.33 million to eight organizations that combat antisemitism and support the UCLA Jewish community. An additional $320,000 will be distributed to UCLA’s ongoing Initiative to Combat Antisemitism, which the school announced in March. UCLA and the UC system are also on the hook for $3.6 million to be paid to the plaintiffs and their attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11990710\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11990710\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/GettyImages-143309512_qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1188\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/GettyImages-143309512_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/GettyImages-143309512_qut-800x495.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/GettyImages-143309512_qut-1020x631.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/GettyImages-143309512_qut-160x99.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/GettyImages-143309512_qut-1536x950.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A student walks near Royce Hall on the campus of UCLA on April 23, 2012, in Los Angeles. \u003ccite>(Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We have been clear about where we have fallen short, and we are committed to doing better moving forward,” UC Board of Regents Chair Janet Reilly said in a press release. “Today’s settlement reflects a critically important goal that we share with the plaintiffs: to foster a safe, secure and inclusive environment for all members of our community and ensure that there is no room for antisemitism anywhere on campus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan Varberg, an attorney at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represented the plaintiffs, called the agreement historic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe this is the largest private settlement in a campus antisemitism case since the uprise in antisemitism in 2023,” Varberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the settlement, the plaintiffs are asking the court for a permanent injunction, prohibiting UCLA from knowingly allowing or facilitating the exclusion of Jewish students, faculty, and/or staff from UCLA campus areas or programs. That order would also cover excluding people based on religious beliefs concerning the Jewish state of Israel.[aside postID=news_12049389 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/250723-WEST-CO-CO-ICE-MD-02-KQED.jpg']The settlement is pending court approval. But a filing on Tuesday by an attorney representing five professors and faculty members from UCLA could upend the settlement agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas Harvey, a civil rights attorney, filed a motion to intervene in the case on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Harvey, in order for Judge Mark Scarsi to grant the permanent injunction requested in the settlement agreement, he would need to reopen the case, which was dismissed in July when the parties entered into a settlement agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harvey’s clients dispute the plaintiffs’ claims that the encampment created a “Jew Exclusion Zone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ There were Shabbat ceremonies.

The class is livestreamed, and an increasing number of students are opting to take the course online, the teacher said. CalMatters is withholding the teacher’s name to ensure V.’s anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was harder to focus while taking online classes, V. said — her kids often interrupted the livestream or something on the computer distracted her. After about two weeks of online school, V. returned to class in person, despite her kids’ fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Curiel, the principal, said the school is allowing students without legal status to attend, at least for now, until the education department provides more guidance about its new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a month now, adult schools have been managing uncertainty over federal policy and funding. Federal funding for adult schools typically comes through on a yearly basis, with the fiscal year beginning July 1, and it provides as much as 30% of a school’s budget. The education department \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2025/07/education-funding-california/\">withheld the money\u003c/a> for a month, leading California Attorney General Rob Bonta to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/01/california-trump-lawsuits/\">sue\u003c/a> Education Secretary Linda McMahon. On Friday, the department said it would begin \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/07/education-department-3/\">releasing the money this week\u003c/a>, but the lawsuit is still ongoing, according to Elissa Perez, a spokesperson for Bonta’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re feeling optimistic, but we’re still holding our breath a little bit because we want to see the actual release of the funds,” said Curiel.

Alternatively, Newsom and Democrats in the Legislature could attempt to draw new lines without voter approval, a move likely to face legal challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember Gail Pellerin, a Santa Cruz Democrat who chairs the Assembly’s Elections Committee, said she understood Newsom’s desire to level the national playing field through redistricting.

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
