Gavin Newsom to keep his job less than a week before voting ends in the Sept. 14 recall election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking at a campaign event outside the IBEW/NECA Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee building in San Leandro, Harris painted the recall effort against Newsom as a referendum not just on the governor’s agenda but on progressive values writ large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to understand that this recall campaign is about California and it’s about a whole lot more. They’re thinking that if they can get this done in California, they can go around the country and do this,” Harris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Harris spoke, a crowd of mostly union members sweltered in the hot sun as they heard from a long line of elected officials, union leaders and Democratic boosters. Many attendees waved signs reading “Reject the Republican Recall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audience seemed most energized when speakers called out Texas and its recent restrictive abortion law — and when speakers including the governor railed against Republican opposition to mask and vaccine mandates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11885679\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45263_001_KQED_ElectionStockPhotos_TikaHall_10062020-qut-1020x680.jpg\"]One of the rally attendees was Brenda Okoli, a 67-year-old Oakland resident who works as an in-home care worker. She said she came out because she believes Newsom has worked hard to keep the state safe during the coronavirus pandemic and always supported workers’ rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That man literally saved thousands of lives by shutting down the way that he did,” Okoli said, referring to the governor’s early and aggressive pandemic response. “He has done so much for the state of California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Okoli wasn’t the only one praising Newsom’s decisiveness on pandemic precautions — an issue the other side also has used to fire up its base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris, who has known Newsom since their days as local elected officials in San Francisco, noted that Newsom was among the first governors to lock down in spring of 2020; he also has instituted some of the nation’s strictest mask and vaccine mandates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recall proponents have used those issues to drum up anger at Newsom and remain enraged that the governor dined with a group of friends at a high-end restaurant during last winter’s COVID-19 surge, even as he urged Californians to stay home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Harris said the governor “led with courage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want us to remember those early days.

"content": "\u003cp>Mills College in Oakland, the prestigious 169-year-old women’s institution, plans to stop enrolling first-year undergraduate students after this fall. It will likely hand out its final undergraduate and graduate degrees in 2023 following years of financial losses, the school announced Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.mills.edu/announcement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a letter\u003c/a>, Mills College President Elizabeth Hillman cited “the economic burdens of the COVID-19 pandemic, structural changes across higher education, and Mills’ declining enrollment and budget deficits” as reasons for the move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today’s news signals the end of an era in Mills College’s history. It may provoke a variety of reactions and emotions in you, as it has in me,” Hillman said in the letter. “I also expect you will have many questions, some of which I will not yet be able to answer.

He should stop slandering diverse, progressive cities like Oakland in his racist dog whistles and divisive campaign tactics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s comments come after Oregon Public Broadcasting last week reported unidentified \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/07/17/892277592/federal-officers-use-unmarked-vehicles-to-grab-protesters-in-portland\">federal agents in camouflage and tactical gear\u003c/a> firing tear gas and non-lethal rounds at demonstrators in Portland, and pulling some protesters into unmarked vans, in an effort to quell the city’s more than 50 consecutive nights of protests against racism and police brutality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepBarbaraLee/status/1285317749170896899?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following outcry from Portland city officials and the governor, Oregon’s attorney general \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/07/18/892617402/oregon-to-sue-federal-agencies-over-protest-enforcement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed a lawsuit\u003c/a> Friday accusing officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies of violating the constitutional right of protesters, \u003ca href=\"https://www.opb.org/news/article/federal-law-enforcement-unmarked-vehicles-portland-protesters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OPB\u003c/a> reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ordinarily, a person exercising his right to walk through the streets of Portland who is confronted by anonymous men in military-type fatigues and ordered into an unmarked van can reasonably assume that he is being kidnapped and is the victim of a crime,” the \u003ca href=\"http://opb-imgserve-production.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/ag_rosenblum_xxxx_updated_complaint_1595086491349.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lawsuit\u003c/a> states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Justice and Homeland Security departments did not respond to requests for comment.

In his remarks Monday, Trump cited spikes in violent crime in New York and Chicago. Oakland, too, has seen a rise in homicides and shootings compared to this time last year, according to the Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal assistance for violent crime investigations is nothing new. The FBI, for example, has long assisted OPD with homicide investigations. But that’s a different role than crowd management, and arresting people for vandalism is unlikely to affect murder rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris was among seven U.S. lawmakers who introduced legislation Monday to curtail some of the federal enforcement tactics seen in Portland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation, introduced as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, would require federal officers to be clearly identified and limit their crowd control activities to federal property. It would also require public notice within 24 hours when agents are deployed, including the reason for their deployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Donald Trump is ordering unidentified law enforcement to violate Americans’ civil rights,” Harris said in a statement. “These actions are those of an authoritarian regime and do not represent who we are as a nation. I call on my colleagues in the Senate to pass this measure immediately — we are better than this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Barr also ignored a subpoena deadline to turn over the full report and its underlying evidence. Earlier in the week, there was a much more conciliatory tone as President Trump, along with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, agreed to spend $2 trillion to repair the nation’s highways, bridges and other aging infrastructure. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> U.S. Rep.

A quarantine that affected 800 students and staff at UCLA and California State University - Los Angeles, who were possibly exposed to measles, was lifted this week. State public health officials are urging measles vaccinations for Californians traveling abroad. The majority of new cases in the state involve people being exposed during international travel.

As part of this “Youth Takeover,” we hear from two high school freshmen at Ygnacio Valley High School in Concord, whose concerns about climate change prompted them to look into recycling efforts at their school. They found that aluminum cans and paper products were ending up in the trash, and even finding where to deposit recyclables on campus was a challenge. Joining them is a senior in Walnut Creek who persuaded school officials to boost the number of recycling and composting bins on campus, while educating his classmates on the right way to keep food scraps and bottles out of the landfill. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Khalid Safie, Ygnacio Valley High School student\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jose De Jesus Ochoa, Ygnacio Valley High School student\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rohith Moolakatt, Northgate High School student\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",
