If socialism is the answer, why are millions immigrating from socialist countries to the US, but few if any Americans are migrating to socialist countries

"Ms. Price has already introduced racial considerations into the prosecution of criminal defendants"
Bay Area Progressives will tell you that the Oakland 𝐈𝐧-𝐍-𝐎𝐮𝐭 is closing because people are shopping online now & that virtue signaling Gaza ceasefire resolutions are far more important than one greedy corporate fast food restaurant

What about those of us who don't own or carry guns and won't do well in a fight if we get victimized. Should we also disregard our personal safety based upon your ideology?
I have to admit, I'm at the point where I would support this punishment for tagging in SF in addition to making the perpetrators paint over the graffiti for a month or so.
UC Berkeley Profs hosted an event for students. That's when Malak Afaneh hijacked the evening and slammed the school's investments in Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and BlackRock. It appears she got bad legal advice from the far-left National Lawyer's Guild. 🙃
Let’s be clear: The MAGA cult is supporting Jews at this moment b/c they hate Palestinians even more than they hate Jews.
But they’ll turn on the Jews in a heartbeat if the mother ship signals a moral panic that Jews are groomers who want to steal their children.
Eyes wide open
Leave it to the SF Chronicle to release a crime apologist tweet after 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall is shot in Union Square during a robbery
Of course, this is all they were doing while Chesa Boudin was DA too
For those wondering after the Ricky Pearsall shooting, here are San Francisco's year-to-date crime stats.
Homicides are down so far that they may set a new low in the modern era — back to at least '85.
Robbery down 22%, larceny down 43%, burglary down 14%, car boosting down 18%
When teens commit crimes SF socialists refer to them as kids & children as if they aren't mature enough to know that there are consequences ti their decisions, but if they want a permanent sex change at 14yo they are mature youth
Kids need to be protected.
Drawing weapons on kids is not protecting them. It's antagonizing them and setting the stage for resentment.
The pandemic generation of kids need investment, not punishment and authoritarianism.
A major problem in SF is politicians & voters focus on solving national & international problems instead of problems in the city
Dean Preston is a perfect example crying crocodile tears calling for a cease fire in Gaza while ignoring the drug deaths in SF & his own district
WATCH: On Tuesday, San Francisco Supervisor Dean Preston broke down in tears as he introduced a resolution at the SF Board of Supervisors calling for a "sustained cease-fire" in the Israel-Hamas war and the release of hostages in Gaza. (1/5)
NEW: sources told me progressive SF Supervisor Aaron Peskin plans to run for mayor against London Breed.
Peskin said in an interview that he has "certainly warmed up to the idea" but is currently focused solely on passing Prop. A.
Another tone deaf SF progressive insider unwittingly going viral for his tone deaf misogynist tweet supporting an angry mob that physically attacked a young woman in their intent to deny her right to free speech. They also held her hostage demanding a ransom
Great work Tom!
A perfect example of SF dirty politics
Safai running for mayor votes yes for $50 million to merely start a reparations committee with full knowledge

B - SF is looking at a projected deficit of almost $800m

Who Riley Gaines supports politically is irrelevent in the SFSU violence
The bottom line is that Tom Temprano does not support free speech for people he doesn't agree with and is okay with violence and kidnapping to supress those voices.
Ever wonder why the far left has more impact on SF City Hall than their numbers?

"SFUSD will take down Lowell’s 3-band merit-and-equity-based admission policy and remove the California Smarter Balance Standardized Testing, replacing it with a mere 3.0 GPA for entrance"
@KTVU
While I don't see a problem with the actions of Alembic Bar in this incident, I do enjoy the irony of the owner, a strong Boudin supporter, having to go through the same crap that other small biz' are having to endure while also having to deal with Boudin enforcer Adroa Anderson
This lady is a hero, ripping SFBOE & SFBOS for their focus on dumbing down Lowell admissions while ignoring the pathetically low Math & English literacy of the typical SF high school student
This lady says only 10% of Black students can pass the 8th grade standardized test in San Francisco but the woke school board only wants to get rid of merit based admissions to prestigious Lowell High School instead of concentrating on helping students who are failing. 👏👏
When people tell you who they are you should believe them
SF far left progressives are telling you exactly who they are and wear masks outdoors so no one can identify them
First, they marched in the streets of Germany demanding the jews to leave, and now they march in the streets in the US, demanding the Jews to leave. We beat them once, we will beat them again. 🇮🇱

If I worked in the Public Defender's office and the DA's office was giving all of my client's at most a slap on the wrist for crimes they were obviously guilty, you know what I would do?
I would go on twitter and publicly praise the DA for what a great he was doing.
John Hamasaki manages to lose 12 of 12 cases defending Antifa members
I suspect even the SF Public Defender's Office wouldn't hire him, so I wonder why some voters thought he was even remotely qualified to be the SF DA

He has every right to be extremely upset!
SF needs to reform or do away with the SF Police Commission and vote out all the judges who allow criminals to run wild on our streets
Fire the SF Police Commission
These idiots chose to drown the police in worthless paperwork to truly eliminate any ability to serve the people of SF
For example did you know in SF, if an officer does a stop of any kind they have to fill out paperwork as if there was an arrest?
I heard Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao tried to draft a letter opposing her recall but couldn't think of any reasons why voters shouldn't vote for the recall
Making CA history,
@MayorShengThao
is the first elected official facing a recall to fail to respond with their own 200 word statement.
I guess we all know there’s no defending her first year. And she can’t insult voters any more and expect to win.

Remember when SF progressives used to say it was ok to steal from Walgreens & CVS because thieves only steal from evil large national chains & we'd all be better off with independent pharmacists anyway?
The Reliable Rexall Pharmacy on Irving St. saw its supply of Ozempic—a diabetes drug that has been made popular by celebrities using it shed pounds—completely wiped out by the thieves.
Why does SF always get the completely worthless pro crime Asian supervisors like:

Aaron - I agree Garry Tan's tweet was in bad taste
However, we should discuss the elephant 🐘 in the room. Specifically, how far SF has fallen as a city since you've been in office
The guy who has an uncanny ability to be on the wrong side of every argument and is too scared to walk in the Tenderloin has become SF's new drug policy czar
🚨 Emeryville Police: multiple fights broke out involving 300 juveniles near AMC Theater at Bay Street mall around 5 pm.
Police said the call to congregate was put out on social media.
1 shot was fired, no one injured. A juvenile was stabbed, non life threatening injuries.
Just to dig into the unusual cruelty of the city's position; homeless people deserve housing, the law only requires people be genuinely offered shelter before you can sweep them.
this is what shelter looks like.
They won't even set THIS up.
Personally, I would rather see the Honduran dealers prosecuted and serve some prison time in the US before deportation
If we just deport them back immediately to the Honduras, they will just come right back to deal in the US
A young Honduran drug dealer was sentenced today in San Francisco federal court under a fast track scheme designed rapidly to arrest, convict and deport lower-level drug offenders who are foreign nationals.
Candy Celeste Cardona-Zuniga, 18, was arrested by DEA agents on August 8
Another SF proposition to allow minors to vote?
This will further incentivize some UESF teachers to indoctrinate their students to their own politics such as DSA & AROC

While we can't incarcerate our way out of crime, we can substantially reduce crime by keeping criminals in prison
Comparing people who live in poverty to criminals is insulting to law abiding citizens who live in poverty and are more likely to be victimized by criminals
We can’t incarcerate our way out of homelessness and every dollar we spend criminalizing poverty is still a dollar we could have better spent on affordable housing, supportive services, and economic opportunity.
I am astounded that an organization called "Woke Kindergarten" set up to "train teachers to confront white supremacy, disrupt racism and oppression & remove those barriers to learning" failed
I am also shocked this didn't happen at SFUSD
A Bay Area school struggling to boost low test scores and student attendance is paying $250,000 for an organization called Woke Kindergarten to train teachers to disrupt racism and remove those barriers to learning. Its test scores fell even further.
There is no way the CA Democratic Party would overtly dare to put out a message of "Criminals are part of your community" or "We are the pro-crime party" if CA had a viable Republican Party.
California Democrats are out of their mind! Listen to

As SF looks to lure back tourists, State Sen.

When a billionaire's socialist daughter has influence over a newspaper's content, you get op-eds about reelecting pro-crime Soros DA George Gascon
Is there any doubt as to why the LA Times announced job cuts recently?
LA Times Editorial Board: “[Gascon] has been doing what voters elected him to do in 2020, and it is benefitting all of us.”
This level of derangement and delusion is quite astonishing. It’s no wonder why the paper is losing $50M/year. Time for the Soon Shiong family to sell.
Dean Preston takes full credit for the Webster Street Safeway staying open an additional nine months because they were terrified of his socialist resolution going to a SFBOS vote
This is a perfect example why SF progressives / Marxists are so toxic.
Instead of taking "no" for an answer & moving on they keep on doubling down on their failed ideology.
Personally, I can't wait until this version of SF Progressives goes extinct just like the Tea Party.
