In Midstream — *Feel like we can be cheesy — or rather, on the nose — every once and a while. (Zoe Stahl/Bay Area Current)*

Hi All,

At Current, we don't cover just things when they start or end, but as they unfold.

This past week, Current catches things midstream:

Zach Weinstein checks back in on Urban Ore union members after management backtracked on the agreement that ended the strike
Sarah Weaver looks into how riders actually feel about BART's forever war on fare evaders
Sam Peak wades into the Zohran discourse, arguing class politics explain his success more than any social media finesse
Wendy Liu appeared on KQED's Forum to talk those weird tech billboards

Stay Current

In flow (lol),
Bay Area Current
