Norwalk-La Mirada to close Chavez Elementary, Los Coyotes Middle schools The board voted to keep John Foster Dulles and Earl Edmondson elementary schools open.

Okay I will note that Norwalk's elementary school closed in 2020

List: Libraries, parks, schools and other California spots named after César Chávez An analysis by The California Newsroom — a collaborative of public media outlets, including NPR — found over 65 locations in the Golden State bearing the name of the late labor leader.

Shout out to Bakersfield @npr.org affiliate @kvprnews.bsky.social whose list includes actual links so the information is verifiable.

This was by far the most accurate and thorough list I found today!

I know this because they list César E. Chávez School for Social Change in Santa Cruz. This was an alternative school started by a nonprofit called Barrios Unidos that I haven't been able to find any mention of for about 10 years (and no link on Wikipedia).

Love to see how many news organizations rushed to put out articles about California sites named after Cesar Chavez today that just scraped Wikipedia (or used ChatGPT which also scrapes Wikipedia). This includes @ktvufox2.bsky.social and @abc7news.bsky.social.

Sacramento leaders signal support for renaming César Chávez Plaza downtown Sacramento city leaders will plan to rename a downtown park after sexual abuse allegations against the late Civil Rights leader César Chávez.

Here is list of Los Angeles monuments named after Cesar Chavez At least one LA official called for the change of Cesar Chavez Day.

Some great journalism from NBC Los Angeles, that includes Chavez Ravine. According to Wikipedia, Chavez Ravine was named for Julian Chavez, "a 19th-century Los Angeles councilman who had originally purchased the land in the Elysian Park area."

Illustrated comic explains police search warrants and consent during home searches

Comic panels explain refusing consent and legal rights during police searches

Sample search warrant document showing authorization and seized items list

Americans would do well to peruse this ever-timely publication!

The section on search warrants includes scenarios for when police try to search your premises, info on when police can and cannot search, types of details a warrant must include, and example judicial warrants from various states.

Cartoon police officer questions a woman who asks, “Am I free to go?”

“Am I free to go, or am I being detained?” is a mantra that has been drilled into our household, sometimes to the dismay of one person (who may simply be requesting to leave the kitchen or end a conversation on shrink wrapping tools).

Hand holds “Beat the Heat: How to Handle Encounters with Law Enforcement” book showing a light-skinned cop detained a dark-skinned man behind a chain-link fence. The tile font references a 90s graffiti/hip hop aesthetic, with a red outline.

Cartoon officer detains a woman as she repeats, “I’m going to remain silent. I would like to see a lawyer.”

A prized possession in the Current Editions library is Katya Komisaruk’s Beat the Heat: How to Handle Encounters with Law Enforcement, published by AK Press in 2003.

A cartoon character named Sibyl Rites narrates various police scenarios, accompanied by advice and sample legal documents.

Not exaggerating—this went on for at least twenty minutes. Side to side, hopping on and off the board like a small child, not a dog. Just in case you needed to see this today!

Hard to decide what was better today: our new publication arriving, or watching this dog have a great time skateboarding while we waited

Though what ends up being more helpful is reviewing previous sales at similar fairs in terms of attendance, sales, etc. It’s enormously helpful to have this one sheet overview and only takes about 5 minutes to input after a fair (just did one today!) since we track sales via Square

We have a spreadsheet that we enter numbers of each thing after every fair, along with the days. A formula spits out an average of how much we sell per day, which helps us estimate how much to pack for future fairs.

Yes, I Texted the Number on the Sign A conversation with Landon, the roof-cleaner and sign-painter behind Portland’s most charming DIY advertisements.

Thank you Landon for speaking The Truth!

A man wearing a black helmet, red t-shirt, and jeans rides a black electric bicycle along a station platform in front of a vintage yellow and brown train car. The train car is painted with the words "CENTRAL PACIFIC" in large red letters near the top and "PROMONTORY POINT" in smaller red letters below the windows. The train has a classic design with rectangular windows and a red horizontal stripe running along the bottom of the yellow exterior. Overhead, a pedestrian walkway and part of a watchtower-like structure are visible against a cloudy sky.

The rear end of the same vintage Central Pacific train car is shown at a station platform, with two men in casual clothing standing on the small back platform. The train car has a rounded roof and is painted in a faded yellow and brown color scheme with red trim. A circular sign on the back reads "PROMONTORY POINT – CHANDLER, ARIZONA." One man is holding his hands in the air and the other rests an arm on the railing. The side of the car again displays “CENTRAL PACIFIC” and “PROMONTORY POINT” in red lettering. The platform tracks, station pavement, and parts of other train cars are also visible in the background under an overcast sky.

A poster with a black background filled with white star-like speckles. At the top, bold text reads “PROCESSED WORLD.” In the center, a white silhouette of a person sits at a desk using a computer atop a large cube-shaped Earth with world map panels. One cube face has a barcode. Below, the caption asks: “Are you DOING the processing? Or BEING processed?”

Tucked away in the corner of Bay Area Then at YBCA is @hernberferd.bsky.social's holy grail of Gen X thought. It's a poster he’s wanted to see in person for years.

ARE YOU BEING PROCESSED?

Street photo of an abandoned pink Barbie-style dollhouse placed on a sidewalk near a street corner. The three-story plastic dollhouse is damaged and missing parts, with toy furniture like a yellow swing and toilet still visible. Surrounding the dollhouse are discarded items including a white trash bag, mattress, and toy palm tree

Photo of a zine cover titled “Affordable Housing in Avondale,” featuring an image of a pink and multi-colored dollhouse. The dollhouse is cut open to reveal its multi-level interior, including toy furniture and staircases, and is positioned against a white garage door and gray siding. The composition mimics real architectural photography

Many other people were clearly inspired by Mandela’s words because this poster’s no longer in print, but you can still see it at classset.org; check currenteditions.biz for other (equally inspirational) posters in stock.

When discussing design ideas and motifs with Jeffrey, @jessalynaaland.bsky.social remembers proposing: “what about someone landing the most awesome skateboard trick?” Skate tricks, long shot mayoral races, the fall of an apartheid state—turns out the message holds up. 🍎🛹🍎

Scanned Risograph print by artist Jeffrey Cheung. The print features a drawing of a dark-skinned person with long dark hair, pink nails, blue shorts, and a long-sleeved red shirt, hovering above a skateboard as if mid-trick. Below the illustration is a handwritten quote: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” by Nelson Mandela on a plain white background.

Hand holding a Risograph print by artist Jeffrey Cheung in a sunlit studio. The print features a drawing of dark-skinned person with long dark hair, pink nails, blue shorts, and a long-sleeved red shirt, hovering above a skateboard seemingly mid-trick. Below the illustration is a handwritten quote: “It always seems impossible until it’s done” by Nelson Mandela. A rainbow reflection is visible across the print on the concrete floor.

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

It made our day to hear this Nelson Mandela quote pop up in @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s post-primary speech this week—the same one featured in Jeffrey Cheung’s beloved Class Set poster from 2017.
