Wow early in the year for a heatwave!

Worryingly, the Trump administration is showing signs it will try to override rules protecting endangered species in the Bay & Delta.

"The Trump administration is proposing to eliminate the rules entirely and just go for broke, which will result in the destruction of the San Francisco Bay ecosystem. Several extinctions, permanent closures of fisheries," as our lead scientist @jarosenfield told ABC7 News: https://abc7news.com/post/scientists-express-growing-concern-trump-administration-targeting-california-environmental-laws/16017342/

A reminder of what the Bay looked like before environmental regulation—open dumping of industrial waste, raw sewage, and fuel, and constant oil spills.

Before EPA and laws like the Clean Water Act, America's waters were choked with pollution. Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which became a symbol of environmental degradation in the 60s, was so polluted that it repeatedly caught fire.

Today, it's estimated that the #CleanWaterAct alone prevents 700 *billion* pounds of toxic pollution from entering US waters every single year.

We MUST defend these vital laws and institutions.

#PhotoOfTheDay is this happy little inlet/pond I encountered while hiking the Don Edwards NWR on the southern end of San Francisco Bay. It reminds you to have a happy Thursday! #photo #photography #hike #SFBay

#PhotoOfTheDay is the Dumbarton Railroad Bridge (not to be confused with what Bay Area folks call the Dumbarton Bridge which is close by) in the southern end of the San Francisco Bay. Here the swing portion of the bridge is open to allow shipping to pass, as the western span of the bridge is gone and it's currently not used by trains. #photo #photography #SFBay #BayArea

Conversation with a man in my street.
Him: “this isn’t a legal parking spot, is it?” (hopeful tone of voice)
Me: “if it covers any part of the driveway, no, it’s not”
Him: “Including the red part?” (Of the curb)
Me: “Uh, yeah.”
(Duh. You’re literally asking if the red means no… it means no, dude)
#sfba #parking #SFBay
Me, not saying: “I saw someone the other day taking pics of a car that was parked over the red area and better than you are so they could report it, so I wouldn’t park there”

Gotta make the earthquake Mastodon we wish to see in the world! #earthquake #sanfrancisco #sfbay
