As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

Another possibility is that anchovies and other fish swam farther below the warm sea surface, too deep for the pelicans to reach. During last year’s event, the state recorded roughly 1,000 pelicans captured for rehabilitation — and in 2022, for similar reasons, 800.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, there are only 250 ailing pelicans tallied so far, but there are new challenges. The seabirds arrived in two waves, sick and then starving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rebecca Duerr, who directs veterinary science at International Bird Rescue, said this spring, a toxic algal bloom first poisoned some adult birds. The blooms, predicted to become \u003ca href=\"https://www.epa.gov/habs/climate-change-and-freshwater-harmful-algal-blooms#:~:text=Scientists%20continue%20to%20document%20many,more%20often%20in%20more%20waterbodies.\">more severe with climate change\u003c/a>, have lasted \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/02052025/california-toxic-algae-marine-life-poisoning/#:~:text=This%20is%20the%20fourth%20year,for%20longer%2C%E2%80%9D%20Lefebvre%20said.\">longer\u003c/a> this year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then came the starving babies. The majority of the roughly 250 pelicans International Bird Rescue received since March were less than 6 months old. The center gets about two-thirds of the birds statewide and considers 90 birds a month highly unusual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This second wave of almost 200 rescued starving babies is still a mystery. Maybe the algal blooms also affected them. Maybe their successful breeding season just meant higher numbers didn’t learn to forage. \u003c/span>Another theory about these starving young, \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Duerr \u003c/span>said, is that their parents, sickened by the harmful algal blooms, might have abandoned them before they were ready to forage alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These young birds didn’t know how to eat yet,” Duerr said. “It’s circumstantial evidence, but it looked like, you know, if mom doesn’t come back, they have to leave the nest or they’ll die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So far, there are less starving pelicans than last year. And, luckily, the numbers show the starvation event slowing down. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>While Overdose Deaths Drop Nationwide, California’s Numbers Climb\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>More than 11,000 people died of a drug overdose in California in 2023, which is about 400 more people than the prior year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.tfah.org/people/j-nadine-gracia-md-msce/\">Dr. J. Nadine Gracia\u003c/a> leads \u003ca href=\"https://www.tfah.org/\">Trust for America’s Health\u003c/a>, a nonpartisan group that tracks overdose and suicide trends. She said the western part of the U.S. is seeing some of the sharpest increases — and California’s crisis is being fueled by fentanyl and rising use of stimulants like meth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we need to do is bolster our programs that support addressing adverse childhood experiences and trauma,” Gracia said. “And really invest in resilience, mental health, and substance use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deaths from alcohol and suicide are falling in California. But Gracia warned that progress is fragile — especially as overdoses continue to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/05/community-colleges-california/\">To Mitigate Financial Aid Fraud, All Prospective Community College Students Will Soon Need To Provide Proof of Identity To Apply\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Under scrutiny from state and federal lawmakers, California’s community colleges are trying to crack down on financial aid fraud. Scammers have increasingly infiltrated the state’s 116 community colleges, posing as students in an effort to steal financial aid from the state and federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a meeting recently, the board that oversees California’s community colleges voted to require all students to verify their identity, which is currently optional for most applicants. The board also considered asking the Legislature for approval to charge students a \u003ca href=\"https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/cccchan/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=DGHPTY663CB2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nominal application fee\u003c/a> — which many said should be no more than $10. But after more than two hours of debate, the board rejected that proposal and instead asked staff to “explore” a fee policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students from across the state told board members that they were against imposing a fee, sharing stories of times when they were so poor that they didn’t have a bank account or $10 to buy lunch. Many had personal experiences with fake students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flo Cudal, a student at Santiago Canyon College in Orange County, testified about her own experience with scammers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A bot once took my seat in a class I needed to graduate and transfer,” Cudal said. “That fraud almost cost me my future. I understand the need for strong protections, but they must not come at the expense of excluding a real student.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though students have to sign an affidavit swearing that their personal information is valid when they apply, only a few schools require applicants to upload an ID to prove their identity. The board vote means prospective students would be required to submit IDs with their applications.\u003c/p>\n\n",

During last year’s event, the state recorded roughly 1,000 pelicans captured for rehabilitation — and in 2022, for similar reasons, 800.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, there are only 250 ailing pelicans tallied so far, but there are new challenges. The seabirds arrived in two waves, sick and then starving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The blooms, predicted to become \u003ca href=\"https://www.epa.gov/habs/climate-change-and-freshwater-harmful-algal-blooms#:~:text=Scientists%20continue%20to%20document%20many,more%20often%20in%20more%20waterbodies.\">more severe with climate change\u003c/a>, have lasted \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/02052025/california-toxic-algae-marine-life-poisoning/#:~:text=This%20is%20the%20fourth%20year,for%20longer%2C%E2%80%9D%20Lefebvre%20said.\">longer\u003c/a> this year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then came the starving babies. The majority of the roughly 250 pelicans International Bird Rescue received since March were less than 6 months old. The center gets about two-thirds of the birds statewide and considers 90 birds a month highly unusual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This second wave of almost 200 rescued starving babies is still a mystery. Maybe the algal blooms also affected them. Maybe their successful breeding season just meant higher numbers didn’t learn to forage. \u003c/span>Another theory about these starving young, \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Duerr \u003c/span>said, is that their parents, sickened by the harmful algal blooms, might have abandoned them before they were ready to forage alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These young birds didn’t know how to eat yet,” Duerr said. “It’s circumstantial evidence, but it looked like, you know, if mom doesn’t come back, they have to leave the nest or they’ll die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So far, there are less starving pelicans than last year. And, luckily, the numbers show the starvation event slowing down. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>While Overdose Deaths Drop Nationwide, California’s Numbers Climb\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>More than 11,000 people died of a drug overdose in California in 2023, which is about 400 more people than the prior year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.tfah.org/people/j-nadine-gracia-md-msce/\">Dr. J.

She said the western part of the U.S. is seeing some of the sharpest increases — and California’s crisis is being fueled by fentanyl and rising use of stimulants like meth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we need to do is bolster our programs that support addressing adverse childhood experiences and trauma,” Gracia said. “And really invest in resilience, mental health, and substance use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deaths from alcohol and suicide are falling in California. But Gracia warned that progress is fragile — especially as overdoses continue to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/05/community-colleges-california/\">To Mitigate Financial Aid Fraud, All Prospective Community College Students Will Soon Need To Provide Proof of Identity To Apply\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Under scrutiny from state and federal lawmakers, California’s community colleges are trying to crack down on financial aid fraud. Scammers have increasingly infiltrated the state’s 116 community colleges, posing as students in an effort to steal financial aid from the state and federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a meeting recently, the board that oversees California’s community colleges voted to require all students to verify their identity, which is currently optional for most applicants. The board also considered asking the Legislature for approval to charge students a \u003ca href=\"https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/cccchan/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=DGHPTY663CB2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nominal application fee\u003c/a> — which many said should be no more than $10. But after more than two hours of debate, the board rejected that proposal and instead asked staff to “explore” a fee policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students from across the state told board members that they were against imposing a fee, sharing stories of times when they were so poor that they didn’t have a bank account or $10 to buy lunch. Many had personal experiences with fake students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flo Cudal, a student at Santiago Canyon College in Orange County, testified about her own experience with scammers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A bot once took my seat in a class I needed to graduate and transfer,” Cudal said. “That fraud almost cost me my future. I understand the need for strong protections, but they must not come at the expense of excluding a real student.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though students have to sign an affidavit swearing that their personal information is valid when they apply, only a few schools require applicants to upload an ID to prove their identity. The board vote means prospective students would be required to submit IDs with their applications.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The US Is Sending Her Home Anyway\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Abeba’s story is summarized only briefly in the document that seals her impending deportation: After she inadvertently witnessed an extrajudicial killing by members of the Ethiopian military, she was imprisoned and beaten for more than a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that was only the beginning. Abeba — who asked to be called by a pseudonym due to safety concerns for herself and her family — fled Ethiopia and made her way to Mexico. She was planning to ask for protection in the United States. But by the time she made it to the banks of the Rio Grande, her options had narrowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/donald-trump\">Donald Trump\u003c/a>, on the day he was inaugurated for the second time, had declared that anyone trying to cross the southern border without prior authorization was part of an “invasion.” The order suspended their right to apply for asylum at the border. So Abeba swam across the river to Texas, where she sought out Border Patrol agents to ask for help. She didn’t know it, but there was still a way to avoid being sent home — a narrow form of protection, called the United Nations Convention Against Torture, that applies to people whose governments could torture them or allow them to be tortured.

It’s called the United Nations Convention Against Torture. But it turns out that the administration \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12041326/this-ethiopian-woman-was-tortured-by-her-government-the-us-is-sending-her-home-anyway\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">has quietly dismantled\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> access to it for thousands of people.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Temperatures in the state are expected to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1997037/hottest-event-of-the-year-bay-area-braces-for-elevated-heat-and-high-tides-too\">sizzle this week\u003c/a>, reaching a peak on Friday. The hot and dry conditions mean \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/is-it-time-for-wildfires-again-in-california\">increased wildfire danger.\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12041326/this-ethiopian-woman-was-tortured-by-her-government-the-us-is-sending-her-home-anyway\">This Ethiopian Woman Was Tortured by Her Government. The US Is Sending Her Home Anyway\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Abeba’s story is summarized only briefly in the document that seals her impending deportation: After she inadvertently witnessed an extrajudicial killing by members of the Ethiopian military, she was imprisoned and beaten for more than a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that was only the beginning. Abeba — who asked to be called by a pseudonym due to safety concerns for herself and her family — fled Ethiopia and made her way to Mexico. She was planning to ask for protection in the United States. But by the time she made it to the banks of the Rio Grande, her options had narrowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/donald-trump\">Donald Trump\u003c/a>, on the day he was inaugurated for the second time, had declared that anyone trying to cross the southern border without prior authorization was part of an “invasion.” The order suspended their right to apply for asylum at the border. So Abeba swam across the river to Texas, where she sought out Border Patrol agents to ask for help. She didn’t know it, but there was still a way to avoid being sent home — a narrow form of protection, called the United Nations Convention Against Torture, that applies to people whose governments could torture them or allow them to be tortured. CAT is harder to qualify for than asylum and doesn’t come with the same benefits, like a path to citizenship and the possibility of bringing her family to the U.S. as well. It would, however, stop her from being deported to Ethiopia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But under the president’s order, nearly all of Abeba’s rights as a CAT applicant — such as the right to bring a lawyer to interviews with asylum officers and to appeal denials — had been quietly and deliberately erased, and what remains of the process now takes place under a veil of secrecy.

After questioning church doctrine and not getting the answers he was looking for, powell — who spells his name in lowercase — left the church, and his father did not speak to him for five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that pivotal moment was the beginning of the path that led him to his life’s work. powell is the director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/uc-berkeley\">UC Berkeley\u003c/a>, where he’s also a professor of law, African American studies and ethnic studies. He’s the author of two recent books, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://belonging.berkeley.edu/belonging-without-othering\">Belonging Without Othering\u003c/a>\u003c/em> and \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://belonging.berkeley.edu/power-bridging\">The Power of Bridging\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>powell spoke with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/californiareportmagazine\">The California Report Magazine\u003c/a> host Sasha Khokha as part of a series on Californians and resilience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are excerpts from their conversation, edited for brevity and clarity. For the full interview, listen to the audio linked at the top of this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On what ‘bridging’ means:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A simple way of thinking about it is just that it brings people together. We’re willing to be present with someone, we’re willing to listen to someone, not because we think they’re right, not because we’re gonna change our mind or change their mind, but because they’re human.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We recognize, even in those apparent differences, we share something. So bridging is willingness to see each other, not to become each other, to see each other. It requires being present and being curious. And it requires listening with the heart, not with the mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mind is always listening to be right and prove the other person wrong. Whereas the heart is listening to build relationships. It’s like, “Tell me about your fears. Tell me about your kids. Tell me about what’s important to you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On belonging and othering:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>We oftentimes create our sense of coolness or belonging by dissing other people. If you want to be in this group, you’ve got to hate that group. And that’s one reason that the title of the first book was called \u003cem>Belonging Without Othering.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because belonging \u003cem>with\u003c/em> othering is a normal staple practice in many religions, and much of nation-building and race-building. “You are OK if you’re part of us, and those beings over there are not even people, they’re not even human.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you think about the United States, the Constitution starts off, “We the people.” But then for the next 250 years — and I would say even today — we’ve been fighting about who is that “we”?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On the relationship between bridging and resilience:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Resilience is largely a team sport. So if you’re by yourself, isolated, it’s hard to be resilient. And part of being resilient… is being recognized. Bridging is where we recognize the humanity in each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12039743 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/Kid-Poems-Resilience_2--1020x659.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I walked into a coffee shop yesterday in Berkeley. And there was a guy sitting in the coffee shop. He probably was, I’d say, 60 or 70.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I just said, “Excuse me, sir, what is that you’re reading?” And he tells me it’s about the history of ideas and history of religion. But then, he doesn’t want me to go. And basically what he said is that he’s lonely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Loneliness]creates fragileness. It creates the opposite of resilience. Bridging is the willingness to actually see ourselves and see the other person. And the deeper we bridge, the more resilient we are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn’t mean we won’t have challenges, but we know we’re not in it alone. So bridging invites that human care, human interest and human curiosity.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On whether bridging is always possible:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Each person has to derive the answer to that question themselves. They have to sit with that question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think initially, because we’re feeling a lot of fear, and that fear is sometimes well-founded, so there are certain conditions.[aside postID=news_12039754 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/20241029_CAREGIVINGPOETS_GC-11-KQED-1020x680.jpg']We actually help bring people together sometimes, and when we do, we frequently don’t start with the most difficult issue. We start with human issues. And sometimes what comes out is loneliness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is that a liberal issue, a conservative issue? It’s a human issue. So, what we say is that if you can’t bridge, and there may be certain conditions you can’t, try not to break. And breaking is where it’s not simply where you don’t interact with someone; it’s where you denigrate them, where you assume that they are a threat, where you call them evil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if you’re not gonna bridge, if you’re not gonna reach across and be present with the person, could you at least not denigrate them? Could you at least not dehumanize them? Could you at least still just say, “I’m not comfortable, I’m too raw, I’m traumatized, I don’t feel safe, but I’m not assuming that you’re all things evil.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On how to begin to bridge with someone you don’t agree with:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Start with something that’s immediate. Start with something this doable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you can’t bridge with someone who’s on the opposite side of the political spectrum you are, bridge with your cousin. Bridge with someone who you share the same language, the same food, the same religion — maybe the same parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it doesn’t mean it will be easy. Sometimes the people who are close to us know how to really hurt us. But as we get better at bridging, we’re not only gaining resilience, but the muscle gets better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if it gets to be too much, stop. It doesn’t mean you have to win it or you have to get it all done in the first sitting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

For the full interview, listen to the audio linked at the top of this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On what ‘bridging’ means:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A simple way of thinking about it is just that it brings people together. We’re willing to be present with someone, we’re willing to listen to someone, not because we think they’re right, not because we’re gonna change our mind or change their mind, but because they’re human.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We recognize, even in those apparent differences, we share something. So bridging is willingness to see each other, not to become each other, to see each other. It requires being present and being curious. And it requires listening with the heart, not with the mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mind is always listening to be right and prove the other person wrong. Whereas the heart is listening to build relationships. It’s like, “Tell me about your fears. Tell me about your kids. Tell me about what’s important to you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On belonging and othering:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>We oftentimes create our sense of coolness or belonging by dissing other people. If you want to be in this group, you’ve got to hate that group. And that’s one reason that the title of the first book was called \u003cem>Belonging Without Othering.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because belonging \u003cem>with\u003c/em> othering is a normal staple practice in many religions, and much of nation-building and race-building. “You are OK if you’re part of us, and those beings over there are not even people, they’re not even human.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you think about the United States, the Constitution starts off, “We the people.” But then for the next 250 years — and I would say even today — we’ve been fighting about who is that “we”?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On the relationship between bridging and resilience:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Resilience is largely a team sport. So if you’re by yourself, isolated, it’s hard to be resilient. And part of being resilient… is being recognized. Bridging is where we recognize the humanity in each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He probably was, I’d say, 60 or 70.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I just said, “Excuse me, sir, what is that you’re reading?” And he tells me it’s about the history of ideas and history of religion. But then, he doesn’t want me to go. And basically what he said is that he’s lonely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Loneliness]creates fragileness. It creates the opposite of resilience. Bridging is the willingness to actually see ourselves and see the other person. And the deeper we bridge, the more resilient we are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn’t mean we won’t have challenges, but we know we’re not in it alone. So bridging invites that human care, human interest and human curiosity.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On whether bridging is always possible:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Each person has to derive the answer to that question themselves. They have to sit with that question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think initially, because we’re feeling a lot of fear, and that fear is sometimes well-founded, so there are certain conditions.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We start with human issues. And sometimes what comes out is loneliness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is that a liberal issue, a conservative issue? It’s a human issue. So, what we say is that if you can’t bridge, and there may be certain conditions you can’t, try not to break. And breaking is where it’s not simply where you don’t interact with someone; it’s where you denigrate them, where you assume that they are a threat, where you call them evil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if you’re not gonna bridge, if you’re not gonna reach across and be present with the person, could you at least not denigrate them? Could you at least not dehumanize them? Could you at least still just say, “I’m not comfortable, I’m too raw, I’m traumatized, I don’t feel safe, but I’m not assuming that you’re all things evil.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On how to begin to bridge with someone you don’t agree with:\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Start with something that’s immediate. Start with something this doable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you can’t bridge with someone who’s on the opposite side of the political spectrum you are, bridge with your cousin. Bridge with someone who you share the same language, the same food, the same religion — maybe the same parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it doesn’t mean it will be easy. Sometimes the people who are close to us know how to really hurt us. But as we get better at bridging, we’re not only gaining resilience, but the muscle gets better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if it gets to be too much, stop. It doesn’t mean you have to win it or you have to get it all done in the first sitting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Due to the state’s historically horrendous air pollution, the federal government granted California the authority to set its own emissions standards, as long as they were stricter than federal rules. Those rules would then require approval from the EPA through waivers for final approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans sidestepped the filibuster by using a little-known tool called the Congressional Review Act to revoke the waivers. Both the Senate parliamentarian, essentially the chamber’s referee, and the Government Accountability Office, an independent agency overseeing the government, said using this procedure to rule on California’s rules was not allowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArtP-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kazu.org/kazu-news/2025-05-20/call-to-eliminate-climate-distraction-in-the-military-stymies-research-at-montereys-naval-postgraduate-school-sources-say\">\u003cstrong>Call To Eliminate ‘Climate Distraction’ In The Military Stymies Research At Monterey School\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Several faculty members at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, who spoke with KAZU on the condition of anonymity because they fear retribution, said they’ve felt pressured to stop referring to climate change in their research since Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called for the elimination of “\u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FzONs9L8leKtcv5TaBrjWz6jjjX0Nnn6/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">‘climate’ distraction\u003c/a>” in the military in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To avoid drawing scrutiny from Hegseth’s Department of Defense (DOD), members of the school’s Climate Security Network (CSN) reluctantly \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://nps.edu/csn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>took down their website\u003c/u>\u003c/a> and paused their newsletter earlier this year, according to an NPS source.

Kelton O’Connor, who’s incarcerated at San Quentin, directs LUCI– a coalition supporting antipoverty policy and says he’s motivated by a deep personal heartbreak over the climate crisis. “This was something that I was doing almost for mental health for myself, and I didn’t know how many people would want to be involved in this,” O’Connor said. “But a lot of incarcerated people are really inspired and fueled by the idea that we can be contributors rather than just play this victimhood role.” O’Connor said if the bill passes, 40% of the wages earned by coop members would go towards a grant program for businesses in poor communities that are focused on sustainability, reentry or helping crime victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee is also set to consider \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202520260ab1424\">AB 1424, \u003c/a>which would require the state to make conditions for prison workers more habitable.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But the system has come under fire, from both President Donald Trump — who targeted the program in \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/protecting-american-energy-from-state-overreach/\">an executive order\u003c/a> last month — as well as progressives who argue it hasn’t been strict enough on oil and gas companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Extending cap-and-trade, which sunsets in 2030, raises key questions for state leaders: Should money raised from the program pay for environmentally-friendly projects or help Californians manage the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023129/how-climate-change-complicating-california-democrats-affordability-agenda\">mounting costs\u003c/a> of climate change? Will key decisions about the emissions cap be made by state lawmakers, many of whom are just learning the intricacies of the program, or by unelected state regulators with deeper expertise?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is not advocating for any major alterations to the design of the program as he seeks to extend cap-and-trade to 2045. A Newsom spokesperson said he “is focused on the program’s stability in an increasingly uncertain world.” Newsom is seeking to change where cap-and-trade revenues are spent. The governor is proposing to set aside $1.5 billion — it could grow to $1.9 billion by the 2029–30 fiscal year — from the GGRF to pay for Cal Fire, which Newsom billed as a way to direct money paid by carbon polluters toward fighting fires made more powerful by climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/senate-california-emissions-rules-594bc59eb383df4439e9322f67170a11\">\u003cstrong>Senate Clears Way To Block Clean Air Standards In California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Senate Republicans on Wednesday voted to establish a new precedent that will allow them to roll back \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/senate-california-electric-cars-emissions-newsom-b6b70e190aade5fe6c4f965fbeedd6ba\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">vehicle emission standards in California\u003c/a>\u003c/span>, including a rule phasing out the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winding series of Senate procedural votes that went late into the evening could have profound implications for California’s longstanding efforts to reduce air pollution. It also established a new, narrow exception to the Senate filibuster even as Republicans have insisted that they won’t try to change Senate rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At issue are the three California rules — phasing out gas-powered cars, cutting tailpipe emissions from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and curbing smog-forming nitrogen oxide pollution from trucks. Republicans say the phase out of gas-powered cars, along with the other rules, is costly for consumers and manufacturers, puts pressure on the nation’s energy grid and has become a de facto nationwide electric vehicle mandate. Democrats charge that Republicans are acting at the behest of the oil and gas industry and say that California should be able to set its own standards after obtaining waivers from the Environmental Protection Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

But the system has come under fire, from both President Donald Trump — who targeted the program in \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/protecting-american-energy-from-state-overreach/\">an executive order\u003c/a> last month — as well as progressives who argue it hasn’t been strict enough on oil and gas companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Extending cap-and-trade, which sunsets in 2030, raises key questions for state leaders: Should money raised from the program pay for environmentally-friendly projects or help Californians manage the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023129/how-climate-change-complicating-california-democrats-affordability-agenda\">mounting costs\u003c/a> of climate change? Will key decisions about the emissions cap be made by state lawmakers, many of whom are just learning the intricacies of the program, or by unelected state regulators with deeper expertise?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is not advocating for any major alterations to the design of the program as he seeks to extend cap-and-trade to 2045. A Newsom spokesperson said he “is focused on the program’s stability in an increasingly uncertain world.” Newsom is seeking to change where cap-and-trade revenues are spent. The governor is proposing to set aside $1.5 billion — it could grow to $1.9 billion by the 2029–30 fiscal year — from the GGRF to pay for Cal Fire, which Newsom billed as a way to direct money paid by carbon polluters toward fighting fires made more powerful by climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/senate-california-emissions-rules-594bc59eb383df4439e9322f67170a11\">\u003cstrong>Senate Clears Way To Block Clean Air Standards In California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Senate Republicans on Wednesday voted to establish a new precedent that will allow them to roll back \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/senate-california-electric-cars-emissions-newsom-b6b70e190aade5fe6c4f965fbeedd6ba\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">vehicle emission standards in California\u003c/a>\u003c/span>, including a rule phasing out the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Republicans say the phase out of gas-powered cars, along with the other rules, is costly for consumers and manufacturers, puts pressure on the nation’s energy grid and has become a de facto nationwide electric vehicle mandate.
