Although it seems we did not prevail, I will not stop being a force in this district and this city. We will take lessons learned and apply them to 2024. I will continue serving with West of Twin Peaks, the Veteran's Commission, and continue cleaning up neighborhoods. Thanks all!

Fentanyl trade booming today on 7th Street

Somehow “the war on drugs didn’t work” morphed into “therefore we can’t enforce any drug laws”

Many people want to consume legal cannabis while socializing with others. And many want to do it while drinking coffee, eating a muffin or listening to music. There is no good reason from an economic, health, safety, or fairness standpoint that the state should make that illegal. twitter.com/KQEDnews/statu…

Feb 5th 1976 was an epic day to wake up to. Last real snowstorm in the City.

For many years I have been comparing the woke army to the red guard (not a flattering comparison):

The problem with communism – and with some very recent ideologies here at home – is that they think you can change reality by screaming at it.

As a psych & addictions nurse, I agree harm reduction is the wrong approach. It is heralded by social workers and policy makers who benefit from a big system. The true way out is long term inpatient care. We must return to that model - it’s cheaper and time has proven it works.

Fred left his SRO at 9:20 this morning and came back with a fresh harm reduction kit it’s now 12:22. RIP Fred he’s a casualty of a Fentanyl OD

Oakland - why do we still have an eviction moratoriums after THREE years? I spoke to elders today who are at risk of losing generational wealth due to young tenants who refuse to pay. There’s more than one side to this quagmire. It’s irresponsible at this point to continue.

Mainstream news journalists believe they are more fair and objective than the public, but Pew finds the opposite: where 76% of U.S. adults agree that "Journalists should always strive to give every side equal coverage," just 44% of journalists do.

We know it's cold but is there any rain on the way? Sure looks like it. Weak system will bring light amounts Friday morning (Graphic 1) then a stronger front rolls in Saturday evening (Graphic 2) into Sunday morning.

Furthermore, no reasonable person thinks 5 million dollar reparations is feasible anyway. You'd have to be a nutcase or have the IQ of office furniture to think that this is something that should be seriously considered. Most politicians are just pretending to go along with it...

...the 5 million dollar reparations paid to one black person would have more benefit improving a school, paying teachers better, and would affect far more many lives, many of them people of color.

Instead of 5 million dollar reparations, a much wiser and more effective use of that money would be to invest in SFUSD schools, especially ones in need of repair or in low income neighborhoods. Bret Harte on Gilman Ave, or James Lick on Castro and Jersey Sts. would be examples...

30 Hondos chased down and killed one of their own on market and 7th last night as I was getting off work. They stabbed and beat him to death in the middle of the street.

30 dealers attacked a man at Seventh and Market, near open drug markets. Yet the media failed to identity the assailants as dealers and placed the event "in downtown." What are newspapers trying to hide? bit.ly/3Hfs6SF

From the elevator where I live, to the streets cluttered with tents and people overdosing on fentanyl, no one is speaking up about my right to safe passage. Just chatter and finger pointing.

On my second day here, I was given a tour and a convo about the #fentanylcrisis here in #Seattle , and much like my home #SanFrancisco , the leaders here are more attentive about country wide issues, rather than focusing on problems at home. It’s time for that to change!
