    Crowd of antifacists were chanting around a circle of Magas & Proud Boys in the middle of the sidewalk. A Mission mom with 3 kids walked into the center of the circle, snatched the mic from the Brandon guy, broke it, and yelled "No Nazis in the Mission" with her kids in tow.

  3. ANTIFASCIST ALERT: VIOLENT FASCISTS GATHERING AT SF CITY HALL. Look at these “totally non-political” grifters serving our city. Taiho Decker and several former Proud Boys are here terrorizing unhoused people with Scott Presler. They’ve already stolen someone’s tent.

    ALERT: San Francisco - In the Mission tonight, organizers of a cancelled alt-right event are holding a “Free Speech” retaliation/intimidation “rally” outside the Women’s Building at 6:30PM. Take care and be cautious, considering who these events attract to your community.

  11. The scapegoating, othering, stigmatizing, xenophobia, and racism in folks' response to the coronavirus outbreaks echos the reactions we've seen to HIV, ebola, and every other pathogen that's associated with a specific group of people.

  12. i was holding it together with all the racist hate i've been receiving in regards to the coronavirus but now i've actually been reduced to tears - an asian man in sydney has died because no one helped him when he collapsed because they thought he had the coronavirus
