actually the media hasn’t vetted bernie. i want non-stop coverage of digging into bernies record. i want the media to talk about how he was for gay rights in 1986 and also air his anti-war speeches. i want the media to talk about how consistent his voting record has been. do it!!

“people try to identify who’s the most likely person to turnout, and what we did is that we changed who turns out.”
this is how we win.

“we hear ‘if we just build more things will get better!’ but in nyc there are three empty apartments for every one person experiencing homelessness. that is wrong.”

and the message that he carried of change...
...that hope didn’t die in us just because it died in washington dc.”
being a socialist who is also a yimby is like being a vegetarian who also eats meat. you can’t be a socialist that believes the free market will solve our housing crisis.
It’s official – I’m running to be the new Supervisor for District 9! I’ll pack a punch for our progressive values while getting results that fix our city. Will you join my campaign? Together we can build a stronger, safer SF. Visit
people out here fighting to stay in their homes and fend off evictions and we have legislators tweeting nonsensical housing twitter bingo memes as if this is just a big game
Strongly worded tweets aren’t enough.
Here’s what I’ve done & will do to fight racism in our criminal justice system. We need structural change.
It’s time to reimagine public safety & who is actually kept safe by this system.
density for density sake without actually a plan to keep units affordable is not a policy or movement. it’s just a way to build empty luxury housing no one will live in
i need my non-asian allies to start watching out for our elders also. if you see them or share space please observe and i need yall men especially to interject if something happens.
annoyed the media keeps saying it’s asian immigrants supporting the recall but fail to mention it was driven by some wealthy republican donors. a lot of asian immigrants did vote for the recall but it’s a very specific group of conservative asians here in sf. stop generalizing.
i’m really starting to question if the typical way we protest (marching in the streets) is gonna be enough. we do this cycle everytime and nothing changes. we need to start fucking shit up and changing up our tactics bc this is not working
thinking about how supes asked alison collins to resign, a black woman, for using the n word in a tweet in 2016 but are simultaneously silent when an active sfusd board member said black and brown families have unstable homes.
building more market rate housing = more vacant units. do you ever look at a building at night? most of the lights are off. its rich fucks 2nd or 3rd home, or short term rentals. build baby build = cash parking lots for rich ppl.
the city supports
#stopasianhate
by increasing unnecessary policing budget that will do nothing to keep us safe while leaving families like this behind. if you really want to stop asian hate it also means addressing things like this
Muyi Yu and her husband are raising four children in an SRO apartment in San Francisco's Chinatown.
For nine years, the family members have eaten, slept and studied all in the confines of a single, 100-square-foot room.
And there are hundreds of families in the same situation.
For nearly a century, SF has served as a haven for LGBTQ people fleeing hate & violence or simply seeking acceptance.
Our broken approach to housing — our choice not to build it — threatens our ability to fulfill that critical role.
That’s why our housing work matters so much.
this recall was funded by republican billionaires, led by yt “reopen the schools” moms that used id politics and anti-blackness to turn out votes within the conservative asian immigrant community. all while masquerading “for the kids”.
density for density sake without actually a plan to keep units affordable is not a policy or movement. it’s just a way to build empty luxury housing no one will live in
sf's mayor who came out against prop c and endorsed bloomberg for president is now suing our school district for not re-opening schools during a pandemic.
San Francisco city officials are suing the school district in an effort to force classrooms to reopen. The suit, to be filed Wednesday< alleges that SFUSD's reopening plan is “woefully inadequate.”

reminder that collins' tweet were deliberately resurfaced the week of the atlanta spa shootings and the friday before several local rallies to stop asian hate. from the very start this recall has been intentional about stirring more anti-blackness in the asam community.
I ride the subway a lot. Not a week goes by that a mentally ill person doesn't get on and terrorize the entire car—especially women, especially Asians. Usually the men just sit there and pretend it's not happening. It's a disgrace that working New Yorkers have to live like this.
isn’t it funny where we have the most vacant units in sf are where we also build the most market rate housing? almost like there’s a correlation or something.
SFPD has rushed the crowd assembled at 25th & Harrison, aiming rubber ball rifles at the crowd, which quickly dispersed
The corner has for years hosted July 4th fireworks
SFPD for hours had a strong presence on 24th Street for the night & suited up in riot gear at midnight
JUST IN: S.F. police in the Tenderloin will now join outreach workers seeking to get people doing drugs off of sidewalks and into a new linkage center, a top official said.
If people don’t comply and continue illegal behavior, they could be arrested.
appreciate chesa, gabriela, alison and all those who stood by their principles in the face of a racist recall. you can tell lot about what impact they were making by the enemies they made
do i trust government to run a bank? well the public bank of north dakota was the only bank to pull a profit during the 08 financial crisis and has had 15+ years of record profits. i absolutely trust a public bank over wall street.
textbook definition of the model minority bullshit and let this be an example of how anti-blackness can grow even in non-white communities. this comment is unacceptable for a sitting sfusd board member.

@LondonBreed
do you agree w your appointee to
#SFUSD
Board Ann Hsu that the biggest challenge to educating Black & Brown students is “lack of family support” “unstable family environments” & “lack of parental encouragement to focus on or value learning?”
