"Families who have lost loved ones at the hands of police are also victims of violence. We deserve basic respect, common courtesy and support. I have had none of that from Jenkins or her staff in charge of this case."

There's six cops in Memphis that really wish Brooke was their DA, but unfortunately for them there's only one Brooke, and she's all ours.

. do you care about teachers/schools? Zero overtime and underpaid. Is that not your beat? You are no longer just working for the police department.

@SFUnifiedβs staffing shortage is at least as catastrophic as the police department, but isnβt getting nearly as much attention.

Mayor Breedβs clandestine policy requiring undated letters of resignation from Commissioners was an attack on our system of govt. I applaud and BOS for putting an end to this lawless and reprehensible practice 1/2
Quote Tweet
Today SFβs supes voted to ban Mayor Breedβs practice of directing appointees to sign undated resignation letters. Supervisor Preston pushed the ban after @sfstandard uncovered the once secret practice. More via @MikeEge sfstandard.com/politics/super

Heads up that whose goal is to "beautiful neighborhoods" works w/ the horrible billionaire-funded which pushes anti-homeless/pro-incarceration candidates for office. If you care about poor/BIPOC/trans people stay away from them both!

Dear #SanFrancisco: if you truly want solutions to the crises in our streets, then support the things that truly work to improve people's lives: permanent supportive housing (w/ wraparound services), drug treatment on demand, more navigation centers, and 100% affordable housing!

My latest column: A year ago, Autumn Looijen and Siva Rajβs idea to recall the San Francisco school board worked. Now they have a new plan: training other newbies to enter SF politics too. Plus, I checked in with the three recalled commissionersβ¦

The last thing my trans student emailed me before they died by suicide was an op-ed they wrote to their local newspaper arguing for trans inclusion in highschool sports. They mentioned how cruel the comments from community members were. These annual "debates" hurt trans people.

Conservative activists both locally and nationally have criticized and targeted San Francisco for our progressive values. They have mobilized tech investors and weaponized instability and fear to stoke conflict between communities of color

Today, Feb 2, is the demisemiseptcentennial anniversary of The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. 175 years ago, after the US-Mexico War of 1846-48, the Indigenous communities of the north became an internal colony of the United States. Chicanos have never forgotten this dismemberment.

Just another βDemocrat for the Not-Republican Recallsβ, once local SF mom who thankfully moved but couldnβt give up her attachment to try to fuck things up locally. Bottom line, not a person who is fighting for the most vulnerable in our society

Development in #TyreNichols event in San Francisco today at City Hall...
April Green, aunt of Keita O'Neill, a man fatally shot by an SFPD rookie, was disinvited from speaking there today.
Why? She planned to critique DA Jenkins handling of the case, and had supported DA Boudin.

Urban Alchemy is a de facto police force being sued for labor & civil rights violations. UA hired former head of homeless sweeps in SF & their director Lena Miller was close w former DPW head Nuru who pushed for contracting w UA before being arrested by the FBI for corruption.

New: S.F. tapped Urban Alchemy to respond to low-level 911 calls about homelessness instead of police in a new pilot. Community groups who campaigned for the program are pushing back on the pick. Will the team, whoever runs it, have an impact?sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s-f

Remember that actual San Francisco parents tried to push back as best we could. We had *no help* against the obvious Astroturf brought by DeSantis and friends. None.

Blackstone saying the quiet part out loud: evictions will give their investors "confidence in cash flow growthβ
Quote Tweet
Blackstone is serving it up on a silver platter for us!
Evictions will give their investors "confidence in cash flow growth". They're evicting 100s of tenants to bail themselves out.
They're finally being honest - they don't care about their tenants or human rights.

I've lived, reported on, been politically involved in #SanFrancisco for 30 years. The #fentanyl crisis is real and awful. So is #homelessness crisis. Neither has any roots in left or progressive policies. That is a false and profoundly misguided rightwing talking point.
