First wore this 40 yrs ago to protest AIDS neglect. Now I wear it to protest fentanyl epidemic neglect. Needle xchng worked for AIDS, but NOT NOW for fent. In fact they kill. It’s easier and faster to die of drugs than HIV today. @MissLily@DrugFreeSidewlk@DanielLurie
Criminals believe they can come to Oakland and get away with crime because police cannot pursue them. That will end on Day 1 of my administration.
I introduced my “Smart Pursuit Plan” today alongside business owners, technology and public safety advocates. We must increase the use of drones that allow police to pursue and track perpetrators until they can be brought to justice. We must also expand the use of license plate readers and surveillance cameras to hold perpetrators accountable.
For these solutions to be a force multiplier, technology must be matched with police staffing. We will also immediately work towards a goal of 800 officers.
Dear District 9 neighbors: I whole heartedly support Trevor Chandler @Trevor4SF (on left) for D9 Supervisor. Trevor is the pragmatic and reasonable voice we need to focus on neighborhood issues like safety and street conditions and get real results. Enough BS and infighting in D9
Matt Alexander was part of every bad decision the recalled school board made.
Wayne has had a heck of a time cleaning up that mess… and now he’s Alexander’s fall guy.
This is why we need solid, stable, detail-oriented leaders like @RayforBOE and @eyessfboe on that board.
Gaybraham falls off her thrown when she discovers the original $1.7 Million price tag for the Noe Valley Town Square toilet and the 7 Commissions and many many YEARS required to approve it! Time for COMMISSION REFORM. Vote YES ON PROP D!
After a long night, the @SFDemocrats made the following endorsements for mayor and the board of supervisors. Thank you to the members of the public who attended the meeting to give public comment and watched our process on Facebook Live.
Former US Treasury Secretary @LHSummers says that a proposal to replace income tax revenue with revenue from tariffs would be the most inflationary proposal he has seen in his lifetime.

@realDonaldTrump wants to destroy the economy with INFLATION on lower and middle income people.
His proposed taxes on ALL imports would cost the average American family an estimated $1,700 p/y with lower-income households hit hardest. All to help lower taxes on billionaires.
