Remember when Gavin Newsom promised a Black woman to replace Dianne Feinstein, then nominated a placeholder who wasn't even running so he could box out the only Black woman in the race, Barbara Lee, and set up an easy W for Adam Schiff?

The campaign to recall Chesa Boudin was literally paid for in part with fentanyl $
Let that sink in
How many others who are clamoring to lock up every poor person in SF on charges loosely related to fentanyl are themselves getting paid with fentanyl $?
Pretty wild to think that the SJ Police Officer Assoc. president was signing this check for a PAC opposing Boudin in 2019, *while shipping and distributing fentanyl*

At no point does this statement endorse atrocities committed by Hamas or call for an end to Israel
Sadly, like Netanyahu, Scott Wiener is using this moment to flood the discourse with disinformation and push for violence against his political enemies
Not what we need right now!
This DSA SF statement is horrifying & even worse than the national DSA statement.
It unqualifiedly endorses Hamas’s “resistance,” consisting of the massacre of 1,200 Israelis, including kids/seniors, & hostage taking.

Nancy Pelosi allowed two amendments that would have checked Trump's ability to make war with Iran to be stripped from the NDAA. She also gave Trump $738 billion for defense without any strings attached. Now, it looks like we're heading for war with Iran.

This is partially true but notice how Wiener never proposes to build homes for people who are homeless. Instead he cynically uses the issue of homelessness to push high end development (what his real estate campaign contributors want), which does not alleviate homelessness.
New data: California has 12% of the US population but 30% of its homeless & 50% of unsheltered homeless.
Why? CA doesn’t have more mental health issues than other states.
Rather, it’s about housing. We have fewer homes per capita than other states. We must prioritize new homes.

If the Mayor is concerned about lawbreaking, perhaps the Mayor should stop breaking the law.

This chud benefits from massive sums of campaign $ from tech billionaires (including Republican Ron Conway), pushes for gentrification of lower income neighborhoods, & opposes affordable housing.
Wiener is not a champion for housing. He’s a champion for predatory capitalists.
Tech didn’t cause CA’s housing crisis & tech can’t fix it.
Tech doesn’t make housing policy or issue building permits.

- evicting countless people from their homes to make way for developers who fund his campaigns
- locking people up for being poor
- allowing ICE to separate immigrant families
