Officials from BART have said installation of its next-generation \u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/about/projects/fare-gate\">faregates\u003c/a>, completed last year, increased revenue by about $10 million annually through reduced fare evasion.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/VTAWorldCupFares-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12091989\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/VTAWorldCupFares-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/VTAWorldCupFares-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/VTAWorldCupFares-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A bus drives by FIFA World Cup signage on June 12, 2026, in San José.

Forbes, 53, was arrested on the Lisa Marie, a boat docked at the harbor, among empty alcohol bottles and strewn clothing items, on Saturday. Her family has said she was experiencing a mental health crisis. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I hope she seeks out help to get better, but I also hope she is responsible for what she has done,” said Rand Siegfried, owner of the Sea Dog, the other boat that Forbes is accused of entering. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Forbes has been in custody since Saturday morning on a $50,000 bail. She appeared in court on Tuesday afternoon, where her attorney, Randall Knox, requested her arraignment be delayed to Wednesday. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The court will also discuss bail, which Knox said was set based on the arresting charge of felony burglary, but could be lowered. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said Forbes “is grateful that the city of Sausalito has been so supportive … and she has a really solid network of friends and family who are going to try to help her navigate this.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Marin County Sheriff’s deputies located Forbes at the yacht harbor around 6 a.m. Saturday after receiving a noise complaint. There, according to Siegfried, the Lisa Marie’s captain found her on board and reported “unusual things” happening on the boat. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Sheriff’s office spokesperson Lt. Domenick Yazzolino said that Forbes had manipulated the boat’s controls “as if she was attempting to steal the vessel.” \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>At the time, Forbes told officials that she was having a “bad morning” and told them to get off of her boat, Yazzolino said. Siegfried said Forbes told law enforcement that she had previously been on the Sea Dog, prompting them to check on the boat. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“There was a layer of clothing on every floor of the boat that was two or three garments deep,” Siegfried said. “It seems like she tried on a lot of my wife’s things, and I think she actually went to jail with one of my wife’s sweaters on.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Siegfried, who was out of town at the time, said that when his wife went to check on the boat, items appeared to be missing, but they hadn’t determined what exactly was stolen yet. Petty theft is defined as not exceeding $950, though Siegfried said it’s possible that the value of the missing items is higher.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“It didn’t seem like there’s malicious intent, but boy, it was damaging,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Forbes, who took over as Sausalito city manager earlier this month, has been on a leave of absence since Thursday. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Prior to the role, she led the Port of San Francisco as port director for nine years before stepping down in 2025. There, she spearheaded the effort to help the city prepare for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11961003/san-francisco-considers-lifting-the-ferry-building-by-7-feet-to-save-it-from-the-sea\">impacts of climate change\u003c/a> on the waterfront. When she announced plans to depart from the role in 2025, she told the port commission: “I’m tired, I want a job with fewer than 280 employees, I don’t want to run a port city anymore, but I sure did these last nine years,” according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/port-director-resigns-21039844.php\">\u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Currently, Assistant City Manager Brandon Phipps has taken over as acting city manager, overseeing the day-to-day operations of city departments and staff, and implementing and enforcing city policies and laws.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“This is a difficult development for our City staff and our community,” the city said in a statement on Sunday, declining to comment on specifics of the incident or investigation.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The city council is set to discuss next steps during a special meeting on Tuesday night. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/jgeha\">\u003cem>Joseph Geha\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Kevin Wolf/AP Photo)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>One activity asked students to role-play as Israeli soldiers putting Palestinians into refugee camps, and another slide deck compared the civil rights movements to the Red Guards, an often-violent youth movement supporting Mao Zedong during China’s cultural revolution in the 1960s. Some ethnic studies teachers told KQED at the time they had never taught or seen the materials.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In response, Superintendent Maria Su \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12046580/sf-school-district-wont-cancel-ethnic-studies-but-pauses-its-homegrown-curriculum\">paused the curriculum\u003c/a> developed by district educators over the last decade, and launched a pilot of \u003cem>Voices: An Ethnic Studies Survey\u003c/em>, published by the textbook and curriculum provider Gibbs Smith Education, last fall.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In April, the school board approved a plan to purchase and implement \u003cem>Voices\u003c/em> permanently after a vetting process that district leaders said included parent, student and teacher surveys, interviews and focus groups and classroom observations.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Prior to the vote, the Friends of Lowell Foundation sent a demand letter to the district asking it to postpone the decision. The group said that the way SFUSD agendized the vote — folded into the same agenda item as other history and social science materials — violated the state’s Brown Act, which guarantees the public right to attend and participate in local legislative body meetings. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>According to the petition, the public received no clear notice that the board would permanently adopt the curriculum, and the publicly posted agenda for the April 28 meeting does not explicitly mention that it would include approving the ethnic studies course.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“This curriculum was rushed through without the transparency families deserve, and it was paid for with money San Francisco voters restricted for our children’s enrichment,” Friends of Lowell board member Sarah Stettler said in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>However, under California state law, ethnic studies is considered a social science, and the new textbook was adopted alongside new social studies curricula for much of the district.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The petition also alleges that SFUSD refused to provide parents access to the curriculum prior to the vote, citing publisher copyright. Friends of Lowell said that California law requires that the district itself makes instructional materials available for review regardless of copyright restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Board Vice President Jaime Huling contested that claim during the meeting, saying that there was a physical copy of the textbook at SFUSD’s headquarters, and the materials were accessible to the general public through a two-week free trial. She said she’d also requested a full digital copy from the publisher prior to last year’s vote on the pilot, and was granted access.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Board member Supryia Ray, who cast the lone dissenting vote against adopting \u003cem>Voices\u003c/em>, said at the time that she was unable to access the full curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends of Lowell have asked the court to set aside the April 28 vote, among other remedies. The group is being represented by the same firm that successfully litigated the Foundation’s challenge against eliminating merit-based admissions at Lowell.\u003c/p>\n\n",

While it’s not uncommon for states to challenge mergers, it is rare to do so when federal antitrust agencies do not challenge the transaction, according to UC Davis law professor Menesh Patel. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“What at least is happening in this administration [is] there are certain deals that might be expected to be challenged based on the sort of initial competitive landscape,” Patel said. “This may be an instance where the executive has sort of interjected their views into what the DOJ might be doing, but whether or not that’s the case, the federal agencies have not acted, the states have.” \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The states alleged that the merger would reduce competition in multiple markets, including wide-release film distribution, anticipated top-grossing film distribution and licensing basic cable television channels. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“History tells the tale of what happens when a few people have great power over markets that are central to Americans’ lives: fewer opportunities for more people, worse products and services for all people,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Paramount has distributed major classic movies, like \u003cem>Titanic\u003c/em> and the \u003cem>Top Gun\u003c/em> franchise, while Warner Brothers distributed \u003cem>Barbie\u003c/em> and franchises like \u003cem>Harry Potter\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Batman\u003c/em>. They also have a massive rights deal with major sporting markets like March Madness.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The states argue that the merger would increase the companies’ combined market share to 27%, and increase its Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, a metric used to measure market concentration and competition, by nearly 360 points. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Mergers that create a firm with a combined market share of 30% are “presumed likely to violate antitrust law,” and mergers that increase HHI by more than 200 points are “presumed to be likely to enhance market power.” \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Martínez-Olguín wrote in her decision that “the plaintiff states thus make a strong showing that the Transaction will substantially lessen competition.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Patel said that while the ruling issued Monday does stop forward progress on the deal for two weeks, whether or not the judge decides to issue a preliminary injunction, which assesses both their argument and Paramount’s rebuttal, will give a better indication of the likely outcome of the suit. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the one that’s going to decide what happens to the deal,” Patel said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Less than two weeks later, officers shot and wounded a man on May 8 who they said dragged one officer and pinned another against a parked car while fleeing a traffic stop near Ninth Avenue. OPD said he survived and was in stable condition.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>OPD has been under federal oversight since 2003, stemming from the Riders scandal, in which 119 plaintiffs accused a rogue group of OPD officers of false arrests, beatings, kidnapping, planting evidence, falsifying reports and racial discrimination that violated their constitutional rights. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>To settle the case, the city and OPD agreed to pay nearly $11 million and to carry out 51 reforms, addressing use of force, discipline, supervision, training and internal affairs.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In a May 22 report, federal monitor Robert Warshaw found that OPD had met all 51 tasks for the first time. U.S. District Judge William H. Orrick has said he will close the case at the next court date, Sept. 29, as long as the department stays in compliance. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Organizers argue that another police killing raises doubts about whether OPD is ready to police itself.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“That is not reform. That is not progress. That is a department moving backward at the exact moment Oakland is being told OPD is ready to police itself without federal oversight,” Brooks said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The department placed the officers who fired on paid administrative leave. OPD is reviewing the shooting through its own criminal and internal-affairs investigations, a press release said, while the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office conducts a separate, independent inquiry. The city’s civilian Community Police Review Agency has been notified of the case.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>For those gathered on Seventh Street, none of that is enough without public evidence.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“The police cannot be allowed to take a life, control the evidence, shape the public narrative, and then ask the community to simply trust their conclusions,” said Saabir Lockett, deputy director of civic engagement at the East Bay Action. “We will not accept silence.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/psibulo\">\u003cem>Paula Sibulo\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
