Stepped out of my office in downtown SF and it is a zoo. We have very low flying nuke sniffer choppers, a dirt bike gang of cops, 2 advertising planes and a red tail hawk.
I'm still waiting for my Super Bowl VIP party invite.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

hey Square, shutting off a block of the primary N-S bike commute path, just as hundreds of parents are bringing their kids home after school, with zero indication of alternate routes, is a shitty thing to do and a great way to piss off thousands of people! @sfmta.com : just keep the bike lanes open

The hearing is tmrw in SF criminal court (9am; 850 Bryant, dept. 24) The driver admitted trying to transfer assets (property) to NV and still hasn't explained why they were driving 70 mph on a residential street w/o trying to brake. Killed a whole family.

Probably the most successful piece of legislation in US history, measured by social benefit generated per dollar spent. Also wildly popular, across demographics.
Without any public discussion or consultation of Congress, the Trump administration has effectively killed it.

The Trump administration has “virtually stopped enforcing the Clean Air Act,” lodging just one consent decree in a relatively small case since Trump’s inauguration, compared with 26 in the first year of Trump's first term, & 22 in Biden’s first year. peer.org/under-epas-z... 1/

MIller’s enthusiasm for maximum cruelty and racism are hurting Trump. But since it helped him on the way to/back to power (and because Trump has always been deeply racist), it’ll be hard for Trump to be persuaded to dump him.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"
