Today is the last day to apply for Documented's two new positions, an Immigration Enforcement Reporter and a Spanish Community Correspondent. Thread below for links and more details #journalismjob

On trans rights as reproductive rights: “Anxiety about trans people & reproduction, & the laws & rules that it produces, cut both ways… The objective is to control the means of reproduction. That’s usually the goal of movements that purport to protect women & girls.”

I have never in my 40 years ridden a skateboard. But @Maura__Fox's lovely, ebullient obituary for local legend Patti McGee — a fearless kid who went pro in an era when few women did & was known for her "rolling handstand" — almost made me feel like I had.

For years San Diego's Think Blue campaign urged people to protect waterways. But its new ads send a new message: the stormwater system “needs significant investment.” It’s awfully similar to what the Measure E campaign is pushing, @UTDavidGarrick reports: https://t.co/nSmIu99pfy

Keith Bach’s death in a San Diego jail from diabetic ketoacidosis was ruled a homicide due to medical neglect. Now his grieving wife has filed a lawsuit.

JOB: I'm hiring a reporter to cover education & youth in San Diego County for the @sdut! It's a great beat with lots of opportunities for enterprise, investigations, features & more. Get info (including $$) & apply: https://t.co/5ZLffylOCc Questions? Holler. #journalismjobs

Incredibly pleased that @Kristen_Taketa will soon expand her investigative reporting well beyond the education beat as our new Watchdog reporter. Her @sdut readers (& colleagues, & editors!) are lucky to have her holding San Diego institutions accountable. Read more & share tips:

This might be my favorite kind of @UTDavidGarrick story: the kind that ferrets out an obscure, years-old policy that stands to have 9-figure impacts on city spending — plus the loophole that explains why the people who ought to be talking about it aren't https://t.co/LG9p7GcpVS

Is UCSD really 'soulless?' @grobbins spoke with dozens of students (plus the chancellor) about what life there is & isn't — & what they wish it were. A great read & smart look at growing pains & a culture gap as @UCSanDiego hits a record 45k enrollment. https://t.co/NoswKwi4Vj

A really interesting take by @Kristen_Taketa that also includes a how-to on detecting when AI is being used.

"To watch as real info is overwhelmed by crank theories ... is to confront 2 alarming facts: 1, that a durable ecosystem exists to ensconce citizens in an alternate reality, & 2, that the people consuming & amplifying those lies are not helpless dupes but willing participants."

"Drivers are supposed to be paid even for the time they spend between trips. But Uber and Lyft found a money-saving loophole: Simply prevent them from logging into the apps, erasing some of their working time from the record." What an investigation. https://t.co/UExNp7nWyR

The homeless population along the San Diego River just hit a record — and per @BCunninghamN, "the increase was largely found in the city of San Diego." Just over a year ago, the city began enforcing its controversial encampment crackdown, pushing homeless people out of downtown.

With an $80 million bet on lithium, SDSU is jumping into the "white gold" rush out by the Salton Sea. A new STEM center is part of the school's research funding surge & R1 ambitions — & effort to bring jobs to a region that needs them. Read @grobbins: https://t.co/z4y496sX03

Keith Galen Bach didn't have to die in jail. For nearly 24 hours before he did, his insulin monitor was probably beeping, new autopsy findings show — making his death a homicide. Grateful to edit a @SDUTmcdonald / @kellylynndavis cobyline again.

Long before any legal claims, San Diego Unified got at least 3 other complaints about its now-fired chief, records obtained by @Kristen_Taketa show. Two were deemed rumor that didn't need investigating. A probe of a third quietly closed. Read her scoop: https://t.co/UxE1r9lOcx

Now, to restore its western neighbor Mt. Buckley's rightful name of "Mt. Fuckley" — as @bc_phillips once christened it in exhaustion while backpacking, when he realized we'd only climbed a false summit.

Another @Kristen_Taketa scoop: Lamont Jackson "emphatically" denies 2 former admins' sexual misconduct accusations & an anonymous complaint of favoritism. He also says he's "not done as an educator." More from the interview, his first since his firing:

Hey if you're trans you should do this right the hell now

What's going on with San Diego's billion-dollar Pure Water project? Its 2nd phase is already scaled back. Now, @UTDavidGarrick has the latest on Phase 1's pipelines & pump stations — & $130 million in cost overruns that will get passed on to ratepayers. https://t.co/Td6iTtL9pN
