San Francisco Bay Area Democrats call US Capitol siege an attempted coup, tragic day for American democracy

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) Many Bay Area lawmakers were inside the U.S. Capital building when people stormed in on Wednesday. Some of them described what they saw and heard. Then they were pounding on the door so they told us to lie down in the marble floors which we did and then there was a shot that I heard, California District 14 Congresswoman Jackie Speier describing the moment when people stormed into the U.S. Capital building Wednesday. Speier says she quickly learned that there are gas masks under each seat of the house chamber. There was an announcement made that the Capitol had been breached and we should sit in our seats and wait, that we should get out the gas mask and I have one here to show you. It s in this packing like this and then when you open it up you can hear this thing taking off, said Speier.

In California, quest for diversity sparks division

In California, quest for diversity sparks division Ruben Navarrette, Jr. The Washington Post Writers Group SAN DIEGO - In 2016, CNN contributor Van Jones credited Donald Trump s election to a white-lash. Just four years later, the fact that California Secretary of State Alex Padilla is headed to the U.S. Senate has sparked what I would call a black-lash. Both of these phenomena are based on fear of change, and concern by some that they ll lose their place in line. Still, in a multicultural America, the Black-White paradigm is as stale as week-old bread. Or, since we re talking about California, maybe a tortilla or Chinese milk bread. In 202o, the two most important groups in the state are Latinos (the largest) and Asians (the fastest growing).

San Francisco mayor says Harris Senate seat replacement is unfortunate

Kamala Harris‘s former Senate seat will make Padilla the state’s first Latino senator. But his appointment also means there will no longer be any Black women in the Senate. San Francisco Mayor London Breed spoke out against the replacement, calling it a real blow to the African American community and an especially “unfortunate situation” in light of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations that swept the nation this summer.

It s impossible to listen to Assemblywoman Shirley Weber tell her life story and not be grateful that Gov. Gavin Newsom picked her to be the first Black woman to serve as secretary of state in California.
