Cops say that strangers have been sending “harassing packages” to a home formerly inhabited by a noted native New Jerseyan who led the Supreme Court’s conservative majority in overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey late last week. In an effort to “hopefully put an end to this [harassing] activity,” the West Caldwell Police Department said Sunday — two days after the landmark ruling overturning abortion rights — that people have been sending “harassing packages” to a residence that Justice Samuel Alito used to own and hasn’t lived in more than a decade. Cops suggested that strangers on

Plenty of tech companies have moved their headquarters out of the Bay Area in recent years, from startups like Coinbase to industry pioneers like Hewlett Packard and Oracle. Elon Musk has been one particularly outspoken voice decrying California’s business conditions. Now, one of the East Bay’s legacy companies is joining the trend. Chevron announced it is shuttering its San Ramon global headquarters and even encouraging some employees to move to Houston, the Wall Street Journal reported. The oil company will cover relocation costs for those voluntarily leaving for the Texas office, which has been growing and employs nearly 6,000 people.

MINNEAPOLIS - Former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor was released from prison on Monday morning after serving just over three years for the death of 911 caller Justine Damond Ruszczyk. Noor shot and killed Justine Ruszczyk Damond in July 2017 after she had called police to report a possible sexual assault behind her home. When Damond approached the squad in the alleyway near her home, Noor shot across his partner, killing the 40-year-old Australian woman. During his trial, Noor said he had feared an ambush. He was initially convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Damond’s death and sentenced

FROMBERG — As Fromberg residents worked to clear the muck and river water from their homes Thursday, a FEMA spokesperson said people should manage their expectations about federal aid. “If you’re waiting for the federal government or somebody else to help you that help may or may not come, and I’m not sure when it will come,” FEMA spokesperson Leo Skinner said Thursday in Stillwater County. “So I always tell people, this is a tough line to tell people, ‘Take responsibility for your own disaster recovery.’” On Thursday, Gov. Greg Gianforte requested President Joe Biden activate the FEMA Individual Assistance

Wade, the 1973 ruling that enshrined to the right to abortion in the United States, Mayor Eric Adams spoke about how abortion prevented his life from being derailed when he and his girlfriend accidentally got pregnant when he was 15 years old. During a press conference in front of City Hall on Friday, the mayor described his experience, called for Democrats to expand the Supreme Court and pledged New York City would provide aboritons for those who don’t have access traveling from out of state.

Social media users have criticized former President Barack Obama for not passing legislation to codify abortion rights into federal following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn two landmark abortion rulings. Obama, a Democrat who served as president from 2009 to 2017, took to Twitter on Friday in response to the Court's decision to overturn 1973's Roe v. Wade and 1992's Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which had found a woman's right to abortion was constitutionally protected. (Snip) "The Dems refused to Codify Roe even when they had the power to," wrote screenwriter Thomas Cunningham.

Schoolteachers at an Oregon elementary school claim that eye-rolling directed at the principal is a form of aggression 'rooted in white supremacy.' BIPOC teachers at Errol Hassell Elementary school sent an email to school administrators on May 27 after hearing that their principal, Cynthia Lam Moffett, may be removed from her position, Fox News reports. BIPOC stands for black, indigenous, and people of color. "We believe that much of the resistance to Principal Moffett’s work… is a result of bias and targeted aggression. As BIPOC educators we have observed, experienced, and witnessed similar micro and macro aggressions,' the teachers said

The downtown Minneapolis Target store is making changes to the building to address safety concerns and encourage more shoppers to come inside. The hustle and bustle of downtown Minneapolis is home to Ninth Street and Nicollet Mall. “It’s a busy corner. Here’s a lot of foot traffic and buses that come through here,” said Justin Miller, who works downtown. But not everyone comes to the area to dine or shop. For the last few years, the intersection has become a magnet for crime in the city. The activity has made its way in and outside of Target. Barabra Cohns, downtown
