He organized to talk about trans housing and specifically for trans masculine folks. He educated his. He taught us a lot. Anger still felt over what played out in this walgreens.

And thats bringing those gusty winds throughout marin county into the san mateo coast and breezy right through oakland and hayward. Theyll get a little less windy and widespread through the overnight hours, but once again into wednesday, look at that 45 mile. An hour wind gusts along the coast and still quite windy in San Francisco. So as we head towards wednesday and thursday, how about some 70 degree warmth downtown . Well get into about the 70 degree mark there in the city, 76 in oakland. By thursday, little change. You see the mid 80s arriving and then into friday. Looks like were going to keep that warmth there. A little bit of a wind shift. Unfortunately the first weekend of may trending cooler highs today 70 in oakland look for 73 in napa and livermore. And the accu weather seven day forecast featuring the mid 70s today, tomorrow, the warm up midweek and then by friday. Still nice but getting set for a cooler weekend.

The cosmetic procedure now coming with a warning from the cdc after three women contracted when you have moderate to severe eczema, its okay to show off. With dupixent, show off your clearer skin and less itch. Because you have plenty of reasons to show off your skin. With dupixent, the number one prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, you can stay ahead of your eczema. It helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema to help heal your skin from within. Many adults saw 90 clearer skin.

Tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. Dont change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. Show off to the world. Ask your eczema specialist about dupixent. According to the world health organization, there were 320,000 cases in 2023, up from more than 171,000 in 2022. Almost half of the cases were found in europe. In the us, weve had 300 confirmed cases from 2020 to this year, the cdc says that could mean the measles will lose its elimination status. Measles is highly contagious. The best way to prevent the spread is to make sure your children are vaccinated. Time now is 515. A new warning of hiv risks associated with a procedure called the vampire facial. The cdc says its identified the first documented cases of the disease transmitted through cosmetic needles. Three women contracted the virus after getting the procedure at a now closed medical spa in new mexico. If you arent familiar vampire facials, use tiny needles to inject Platelet Rich Plasma from blood into your face. An investigation found the clinic reused disposable equipment, and at least two previous clients had tested positive for hiv before their visits to the spa. That is horrifying. You might be hearing about the spread of bird flu through dairy cow populations in the u. S. The virus has been detected in Grocery Store milk. But what is the risk for your family . A man is at the live desk with the risk and what you can do to protect everyone. Ill start with this. The food and Drug Administration says milk from the Grocery Store is safe to drink, so you are fine to use milk in a refrigerator for your coffee or cereal this morning. That being said, the u. S. Department of agriculture has issued a federal order that goes into effect today. It requires more testing in dairy cows. They want to stop the spread as soon as possible. I think people are worried that if this particular strain of bird flu infects a pig, because the pig can be infected with both human flu and bird flu, they can sort of like commingle and then create a kind of bird flu that can infect humans. Right now, there are only two reported human cases in the u. S. Medical experts have a few reminders in order to keep yourself safe. First, dont drink unpasteurized milk that means no raw milk. The pasteurization process is effective at getting rid of the live virus. Next, dont handle dead birds or sick cows, and if you handle either, you should talk to your doctor as soon as possible. The bird flu was first found in about three dozen herds in eight states last month. Back to you at the desk, stephanie. All right. Amanda. Thank you. Taylor swifts latest double album is indeed the chart topper. Many expected it to be.

Swift is now tied with jayz for the second most number one albums by a recording artist with 14. Now thats second to the beatles, who had 19 top albums last week.

However, fans were treated to performances by several artists who collaborated with queen bee on her new country inspired album Brittney Spencer tanner, adele and willie jones all performed without queen bee president Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson, whos willie jones . Yeah, that meant to say Willie Nelson at age 90 oh oh. Another cool artist i know, i know, there are some country artists i dont know, but is there a willie jones . We all love willie Willie Nelson, at least that willie jones, is he really 90 . Chapelle, age 90, a crowd pleaser. Dang. Im a big fan, but we all know you love beyonce. I do, and i also knew that she wasnt going to be there. Theres just no way there was no reason for her to be there. Yeah, we had this whole argument was it friday . Yeah, it was friday. We were like, maybe its dolly parton, maybe i thought maybe dolly parton would come. I certainly i expected willie jones to be there. But when willie jones didnt show up, thats when i knew beyonce wasnt going to show you that. Thats it. How about that . That was a dead giveaway. Oh, boy. All right. Were going to keep it pretty nice for the start of the workweek. No big changes here. As we look at live doppler seven, youll notice the wind particles there on the satellite showing that we have that steady onshore flow. And a couple of weeks systems will continue to enhance the breeze around the bay area. So if youre not a fan of that later on in the week, youll like the weather where the winds back off. Temperatures warm up for most right now 53 in oakland, 52 in hayward, san mateo and palo alto with some upper 40s. But all that wind you may have noticed last night allowed for the temperatures to stay up and as we go through the next several hours, its breezy still at the shoreline and well continue to see some gusts there over 30 miles an hour. The rest of the bay will see those breezy winds once again. Looking at oakland for the week ahead. Beginning tomorrow, well have temperatures a bit above average. You should be at about 67 this time of year. Warmest days wednesday thursday, mid 70s. So plan on that with a lot of sun and friday almost as nice temperatures begin to trail off. Theres a system that wants to bring in another 180. Surprise, surprise for the weekend, right where well see temperatures drop off considerably. Heres another look at that week ahead. Well, well see High Pressure deflecting the storm systems to the north. This is friday. And this one model still wants to keep the bulk of the activity to the north. But notice the circulation here offshore. And as it moves onshore for a couple forecast models want to bring in some rain. So everything is all green out there. And you know the rainfall for average rainfall in San Francisco is 7 10 for the month of may. So not out of the question that we could see some rain. It rains in may and well see the possibility increase saturday into sunday, not just in the city, but along the coast and in the north bay. Mainly highs today from about 70 in oakland, mid 60s with those breezy day, gusty winds along the shoreline, 74 in vallejo look for 73 and livermore and the accuweather seven day forecast. So some subtle warming inland today tomorrow with the breezy winds. And then well get warmer. Pretty much everywhere. The coast should come up a few degrees by thursday. And then looking at that cool down in time for the weekend, stephanie. Reggie. Lisa. Thank you.

Students at San Francisco State University will be holding a protest as rallies spread across us campuses. Theyll be demonstrating in solidarity with gaza. Abc seven News Reporter lena howland is here with the details and lena sfsu students are asking for three specific things. Hey, reggie. Thats right. With some of the unrest weve seen at other schools across the country ahead of todays planned demonstration at sfsu, some faculty are calling on administration to refrain from dispatching Police Forces, refrain from any academic retaliation against students, and respects students right to protest at stanford. Similar demonstrations started on thursday of last week for what student activists are calling a Peoples University for palestine run. Over the weekend, we saw more than a dozen tents on the campus white plaza, the group told us. They are demanding stanford separate itself from any companies or organizations advancing military efforts in the israelhamas war. They say this includes lockheed martin, chevron and hp. Stanford refuses to disclose its, investments like where it puts its money. And thats another thing we would like the school to do to tell us where exactly its money is going at sfsu, students already voted to divest from israel back in 2020, which is why the group called students for gaza at sfsu say todays rally will be focused on calling on the csu system as a whole to stop providing support to israel.

Bay area universities are stuck in the middle of a struggle to restore order as we see us colleges serving as the epicenter of social change.

Student protesters are urging their University Systems to break any financial connection to israel and its military response in gaza. After hamas attack, protesters clashed with propalestinian demonstrators at ucla yesterday palestine colleges from mit and columbia to cal, stanford and Cal Poly Humboldt are holding protests over the past week. Police at more than a dozen College Campuses have arrested hundreds of people. Abc seven News Reporter j. R stone spoke to the experts on the effectiveness of these protests to spark social change. I think its the biggest Student Movement of the 21st century in the United States. So its very significant. And i think its, its a reflection of how how much the war is upsetting, students, and that, the feeling that the United States should, should, should be more, cautious about what it does with its military aid. Robert cohen is a history and social studies professor at nyu who has studied student activism. He says that historically, protests like this have been unpopped for among americans over the past 60 plus years. But believes what weve seen over the last two weeks is historic. Never in the history of student protest have protests been suppressed with so little, rule breaking, you know . In other words, the students at columbia were sitting on the lawn. The students here were sitting on google plaza in front of the student, the business school, i mean, in the 60s, you had to do Something Like take over a building or Something Like that. David cortright, who is Professor Emeritus at notre dame and visiting scholar at cornell, believes these student protests are growing. But the number of students protesting still does not compare to what we saw during vietnam. Antiwar protests of the 60s. You know, after the cambodia invasion and the killings of students at kent state, there was a National Student strike, and there were student protests and more than 800 different colleges and universities here. I think weve seen many dozens. You know, its hard to know how what the total number is. While most colleges and universities will finish their Academic Year in the coming weeks, both cortright and cohen say this issue does not appear as though its going away anytime soon, both saying protester arrests seemed to ignite the movement and both point to the republican and Democratic National conventions that could be located. Plans for major protests. Professors believe that these protests or demands could be hard to come by trying to get universities to divest their holdings and companies that do business with israel is problematic because over 30 states have laws against that.
