- For what will now be the sixth year in a row, a renegade “People’s March” is happening for Pride, but this year it will be the weekend before the Pride Parade and not on the same day. The People’s March is set for this Sunday, June 22 (a week before the Pride Parade) at 11 am, starting at Polk and Washington streets and making its way down to City Hall. [Bay Area Reporter]
- Waymo has expanded into a few more cities in San Mateo County, but the vehicles still can’t drive to SFO. As of Tuesday morning, Waymo is now operating in Burlingame, Brisbane, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Millbrae and Hillsborough. [SFGate]
- A prisoner who escaped from FCI Dublin federal prison in 1994, before that prison was an all-women's facility, has finally been captured.

- In yet another incident of a Democratic political official being arrested during the ICE raids, New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested and handcuffed this morning in New York. He’s since been released, and who knows, maybe this will help him in next week’s mayoral primary.
