Tech bosses are responsible for 8% of homicides in SF this year as per SFPD data.
We must lock up tech bosses & VCs who are repeat violent offenders to protect our community.
BREAKING: Mission Local has learned that San Francisco police this morning traveled to Emeryville to make an arrest in the April 4 killing of tech exec Bob Lee.
The alleged killer also works in tech and purportedly knew Lee.

Today during oral arguments for Grants Pass, Justice Sotomayor said something like:
“If homeless people are not allowed to exist outside and have no shelter, what are they supposed to do? Kill themselves?”

A phone scammer from India called me just now. We spoke in Hindi & discussed his line of work. He said Americans have impoverished the world so he doesn't mind scamming them.
He said he made $2000/day & encouraged me to return to India & join his line of work 🥴🥴
CEO of Warp defended his colleague’s white supremacist views.
Guess where the CEO was yesterday? Garry Tan’s heritage foundation event in SF. Is anyone surprised.
Grants Pass case: SCOTUS just criminalized sleeping in public with a blanket when someone is too poor to afford rent.
Gorsuch extensively cites San Francisco’s amicus in the decision. Congratulations London Breed & David Chiu, this is now your legacy.

Started work at 6:30AM today and just got off at 9PM because the mayor of the most liberal city in America is excited to throw homeless people in jail.

Men accused of sexual misconduct shouldn’t be able to move to a different city, change their name & ascend to political power.
It’s so wrong. But that’s what’s happening in San Francisco.
Unbelievable display of cruelty from our city’s “moderate” leaders today.
Their gleeful response to the Grants Pass Supreme Court decision should disgust everyone.
I'm documenting Scott Weiner's unhinged tweets about Israel for Milk Club's vote to unendorse him tonight.
Please send me his appalling tweets before 7PM
Breed's exchange with Preston is so much worse when you consider the cabal of ~white~ multi-millionaires who unethically pumped one million dollars to elect Breed & her cronies. ONE MILLION.
The group was fined tens of thousands of dollars for ethics violations yesterday.
The Epoch Times is embroiled in a massive $67 million money laundering scheme with its CFO facing 60 years in prison.
The outlet runs a steady stream of tough on crime anti-homeless propaganda in San Francisco, with columnist Tom Wolf at the helm.
A VC backed taco shop that took out a $4 million PPP loan doesn't want to pay for employee healthcare & Trevor Chandler wants the city to pay.
This man is a clown. 🤡
Tacolicious on Valencia sales are down 35% from last year, they aren’t alone.
SF must immediately provide financial assistance to stop mass closures. We can do this with a targeted rebate of S.F. Health Mandate funds currently sitting idle.

Crime is up. DA is corrupt.
Organizers of the recall are dead silent b/c they don't really care about crime, accountability or justice.
They were angry at Boudin for going after cops, wage theft & impacting their corrupt donor base.
I went on Manny Yekutiel’s (

I went on Civic Joy Fund’s website to find fun non partisan events in SF— the website says it’s an apolitical nonprofit.
But now I’m on a mailing list for a 501c(4) org funded by GOP dollars, urging me to support tough-on-crime conservative candidates in the city!

Would a woman feel comfortable working at Warp after reading this? I wouldn’t.
Around 100 SFPD officers in SWAT gear descended on an apartment 3 blocks away from me to execute an arrest warrant on a mentally ill resident.
They used tear gas, flash bangs, a drone & carried weapons used in war zones. This went on for 2+ hours.
I puked when I read wealthy D8 residents concoct vile experiments on unhoused neighbors in the Castro.
A wealthy resident even admits that shutting down WiFi is not about crime, he's just sick of seeing unhoused people [who have nowhere to go bc shelter waitlist is shut!]
the Harvey Milk branch in the Castro is the only library in SF that turns off its wifi after hours
that’s after Sup. Mandelman asked officials to shutter internet access to deter a nearby homeless encampment—& it seems to have worked

@dizz_h
for the PRAs unearthing this
Wondering why GrowSF & SF's right wing cabal of grifters are mobilizing together to oust Dean Preston. Because his ballot measures are wildly popular? Because he taxed the rich? Afraid Dean will run for Mayor? To distract his base? All of the above? Share your theories
No one was tricked with pork-buns. Having food at a rally is standard, and not a bribe.
These Asian elders have been active in SF politics 10x longer than Garry Tan. So disrespectful.
Garry Tan has gone from making death threats to San Francisco supervisors to predicting death/maiming if people vote for the mayoral candidate he dislikes.
Totally unhinged behavior that undermines the PR-washed image he portrayed in the NYT. Right back on the violent/crazy stuff
If you’re new to SF, meet Josephine Zhao.
She runs Chinese American Dem Club, an uncharted club in the city. This is her record:
🚩Encouraged voters to support Mitt Romney over Obama in 2012
🚩Ran for SF school board on an anti-trans platform in 2018
🚩Described members of
YIMBYs in CA have gone mask-off in 2024
- Supported California Forever
- Opposed statewide rent control
- Accepted money from GOP billionaires (in SF)
-Advocated for higher rents in city hall
It's really wild how they did all the things they swore they'd never do.
Today Mayor Breed said "the city shouldn’t let a judge who doesn’t even live here … impact our ability to do what all San Franciscans want.”
But she wants Trump-appointed Supreme Court judges in Washington DC to revoke the civil rights of her unhoused constituents.
Couple of days ago, the SF Chronicle reported on an Islamophobic hate crime in San Francisco. Now we have video.
Will State Senator Scott Weiner condemn this incident? So far, nothing. SFPD has not made any arrests, either.
This is Tom Wolfe. He was arrested with 100+ bindles of heroin.
He evaded prison but wants other drug dealers locked up.
He opposes safe consumption sites & harm reduction (proven addiction treatment) & appears on PragerU.
These people are trying to influence policy in SF.

Last year when judges in small claims court forced the city to compensate homeless residents for illegally seizing & destroying their personal property, city attorney David Chiu told the press that “the city is not an ATM”
During a very aggressive sweep, a police officer was heard telling a homeless person that the mayor and Gov. Gavin Newsom say homeless encampments are "no more."
Stefani said Don Carmignani is her "dear friend".
Allegedly Carmignani bear sprayed 8 unhoused people near his house & prev pled guilty for domestic violence.
Stefani is running for Assembly in AD-19 where I live. My family will not be voting for her & neither should you.
Milk Club and DSASF helped organize the counter rally in 2 days--- you read that right-- 2 days.
Over a 100 people turned out for the counter rally to protest the criminalization of unhoused San Franciscans.
I'm proud of us & hopeful for 2024.
SF DA Brooke Jenkins deleted her anti-Muslim tweets against the peaceful rally for Palestinian human rights, which she mischaracterized as a "pro-Hamas rally", news reporters better cover this. Ask her why she deleted her tweets!
American centrists are so weird--- like if you want to kill people, just say that.
Systematically killing a class of people is genocide-- that's what San Francisco's moderate faction & mayor want for homeless people.
But they'll never admit it. Instead they'll use psy-opy...
It's official. I am launching my campaign for San Francisco Supervisor.
Because it's time for results, not excuses. It's time for progress, not regress. It's time for collaboration, not disfunction.
It's time for Dean Preston to go.
DA Brooke Jenkins accepted alcohol gifts from the Israeli Consulate.
@ryankhoj
is right—her office must recuse itself from prosecuting the Golden Gate Bridge anti-Gaza genocide protesters, and they need to do it now!
A San Francisco resident walking 2 dogs interrupted a Muslim prayer service in the park and threatened to “return with pig grease.”
Not a peep from our politicians who jump at every opportunity to condemn anti-war protests.
Schrodinger’s homeless: they migrate to liberal cities to take undue advantage of generous city services but we’ll have to cite and arrest them because they’re also rejecting services offered to them.
Make it make sense.
If Dean Preston is rich then he’s a class traitor, no? It means he’s working against his own interests to improve the lives of working people.
Cool & good 👍
Did you know Assm. Alex Lee is trying to kill a bill to ban caste discrimination in California? I am shocked, too!
In a joint letter with mod pro-cop lawmaker Evan Low, Lee proposes pausing the bill to study if caste discrimination actually happens in CA (Yes, it does!)1/
S.F. Supervisor Dean Preston was legally entitled to block conservative journalist Susan Dyer Reynolds from his Twitter account, where she had repeatedly criticized him, a federal appeals court ruled.
Yesterday, Stop Crime SF held its mayoral debate & crowned DA Brooke Jenkins "Crime Fighter of the Year"
As she accepted the award, Jenkins said the quiet part loud, “Data tells us one thing … but it will always be how people feel and what they tell me about how they feel.”
Why is it that YIMBY neoliberals are using strawman arguments instead of joining the outrage at RealPage? Eliminating a cartel is consistent with wanting new supply to bring rents down.
It's revealing of a myopic ideology that deregulation alone will solve the housing crisis.

The right wing + billionaire backlash to this lawsuit is astounding and their thuggish behaviour is despicable.
They don't believe they need follow the law. When things don't go their way they resort to extortion.
Elon Musk and Y Combinator's CEO are trying to blacklist a law firm, because it does pro-bono work for the civil rights of homeless people.
The class war is real.
Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, a 501(c)3 led by sexual assault accused Jesse "Jay" Cheng, paid DA Brooke Jenkins thousands of dollars during the Boudin recall.
When our DA is bankrolled by an alleged rapist, how can we expect victims to come forward?
How was this allowed to happen? Someone credibly accused of sexual assault, who resigned from their position as a UC regent in light of the allegations, moved to SF and changed their name, then led an effort to topple a DA and had the audacity to talk about public safety?
All organizations must cut ties with this man immediately, and should have done so a long time ago. Completely unacceptable.
Moderates & right wingers also harbor predators & misogynists, so they should also take a hard look at the mirror.
NEW: In a series of interviews, I spoke w/ 3 women who filed police reports against San Francisco nonprofit housing director Jon Jacobo—a once-rising star in local politics.
They filed reports after he was publicly accused of rape by Sasha Perigo in 2021.
Pretty wild to think that the SJ Police Officer Assoc. president was signing this check for a PAC opposing Boudin in 2019, *while shipping and distributing fentanyl*
Breed says “This is not the Republican National Convention. Every answer to public safety should not be more cops.”
Whoaaa. Great zinger. But that’s not what she does in practice. She’s been deploying police to violently crack down on homeless residents as we speak.
Proud of Dean & his staff for refusing to scrap the ceasefire reso despite pressure from others. Thanks for not backing down.
Sure, the reso may be symbolic, so what? We deserve to know where our reps stand on genocide & ethnic cleansing ON RECORD.
“I am sorry for sexually assaulting you,” Cheng wrote. “I tried to rape you and I thank you everyday for not letting me do that to you.”

Why are GOP operatives in SF encouraging voters to support GrowSF candidates?
Here’s Richie Greenberg, an ex-RCCC member, Fox News commentator, & GOP candidate for Mayor urging residents to vote for GrowSF’s DCCC slate.
Democrats need to wake up to the GOP takeover of SF.
Urban Alchemy ED Lena Miller: "She sometimes speaks in AAVE. And she often references her “community” in conversations about poverty and violence in Hunters Point."
“She’s a white female,” said Kevin Williams. “But she has identified with being Black.”👀
