As a Jewish kid who was beaten up, spit on, called demonic for not believing in Jesus, & ridiculed, I internalized the lesson that Jews must always stand with the oppressed, marginalized and suffering even when it’s uncomfortable. Where did you go wrong?.
As a kid who was called kike on the bus & taught that Jews begged the Romans to kill Jesus, I can relate. US schools have long been hostile to Jews. That hostility is now in full view. The Oakland teach-in & union resolutions that omit the hostages & 10/7 are tip of the iceberg.

Some day Democrats will learn that there is literally no amount that they can move to the right and no amount that they can disavow the left that will get Republicans to stop calling them communists and Marxists and radicals. There’s no point in even trying.

why the fuck are we giving vaccines to politicians when we haven't even finished the first batch of front-line health care workers?.
Today, with confidence in science & at the direction of the Office of the Attending Physician, I received the COVID-19 vaccine. As the vaccine is being distributed, we must all continue mask wearing, social distancing & other science-based steps to save lives & crush the virus.

a) this project is 25% affordable units, which is decent. b) getting a five story building in the Outer Sunset is good, actually. b) everyone wants to live in a sandcrawler, duh. What a waste of an appeal. Go to five stories all the way down Judah. Taraval too.

So. I'm going to put my foot in it. Yes, we should allow fourplexes in the whole City. There's no defense of all-single family home zoning. Yes, I would prefer it to be affordable, but putting 4 expensive units where 1 expensive unit is today seems like an improvement.
🏡 SCOOP! 🏡. My latest: San Francisco Supervisor @RafaelMandelman on Tuesday will propose making it legal to build four-plexes on any corner lot in the city and on any parcel slated for one house within a half-mile of a major transit station.

It cannot be said that the Democrats used every tool available to defend democracy. It cannot be said that their responses were commensurate to the threat we all saw.
He held a federal trifecta from Jan 2021 - Jan 2023 and allowed Manchin and Sinema to run circles around him before giving them permission piss in his slippers. Then in 2022, came out strongly against court packing. This is his fault.

This is squarely the fault of London Breed, Matt Dorsey, & Brooke Jenkins, who seek to bring back the failed war on drugs & refuse to listen to clinical experts on what works. They shut down the Tenderloin Linkage Center that was 100% effective at stopping overdoses.
SF had a record-high 806 overdose deaths last year as the fentanyl crisis worsened, revised city data showed: @MaggieAngst . The city has 1,285 COVID deaths and 2,823 overdoses deaths in 2020-2023.

The only legitimate stance for a politician to take on drug addiction is "I pledge to listen to front-line clinicians & follow the best available evidence.". Anything else is theater that doesn't work, and would be unserious if it didn't also guarantee overdose deaths.

If we claim to be concerned about overdoses, it’s worth remembering that the Tenderloin Linkage Center was found to be a whopping 100% effective at stopping overdoses but was shut down because it seemed controversial. Do we want “accountability” or actual evidence-based care?.
OPINION: "In an interview, Jenkins was surprisingly candid about the inefficacy of Breed's approach to dealing with drug users," writes @emily_hoeven.

As an SFUSD parent, I am furious that these people who do not give a shit about public schools are taking the district over with their racism. No one who supports a recall should ever get the endorsement of any legitimate Democratic organization again.
