My latest: In May, Laurie Steves ripped up her life outside Seattle and moved to San Francisco to try to save her daughter, Jessica, who's homeless in the Tenderloin and addicted to fentanyl. @gabriellelurie and I have followed their story ever since.

California sees itself as a progressive trailblazer on many fronts, but it has never elected a woman governor. Story by my CA colleagues @hknightsf @JillCowan @skarlamangla.

Definitely one of my favorite sentences in today's paper. https://t.co/D2Qv9APZEG

.@hknightsf and I are both natives of these districts and had a ton of fun writing this one. Give it a read. https://t.co/K917BmGeZp

Smart story from @boreskes @hknightsf on rare openings in two of the crown jewel House districts in Democratic politics, — both of which happen to be open at once thanks to the retirements of frenemies Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Nadler

SO proud to be an alum of the mighty San Francisco Chronicle.

If you live in the Bay and you haven’t subscribed - what are you waiting for?

In San Francisco’s Tenderloin, masked men are offering cash and pizza for signatures to help California ballot initiatives qualify for a vote:

[Ben Oreskes @boreskes]

"Mr. Underwood, who said he is homeless, explained in an interview that he had signed the petition just for the cash and food. He said the men had told him what the measure was for, but he had already forgotten," @hknightsf writes. https://t.co/VoznwMpRx0

[Adam Nagourney @adamnagourney]

What's so good about @ShawnMcCreesh story is it would have been easy just to make fun of Bryon Noem. Instead, he writes a compassionate (and well-reported) story about the humiliation he's going through. Should teach this one in journalism school. https://t.co/ROdyRsyDh8

[NYTimes Communications @NYTimesPR]

@mattvanswol @hknightsf @nytimes @Haleaziz This criticism is 100% fabricated. The deportation order is mentioned throughout, including in the subhead. In fact, the only reason anyone knows about the deportation order to begin with is because we were the first to report on it. https://t.co/haMUgS0gtA

[Hamed Aleaziz @Haleaziz]

Our story revealed the details of her immigration case, including the deportation order.

Last year, we also revealed that the TISA-ICE program was targeting those with deportation orders.

[Trip Gabriel @tripgabriel]

The story behind a viral video of ICE detaining a struggling woman and her young daughter at SFO:

TSA tipped off ICE about the woman, who had been ordered to be deported in 2019. She and her daughter have been returned to Guatemala.

TSA tipped off ICE agents before viral arrest at San Francisco airport

We're likely to see a big political win tonight for academic rigor, in SF https://t.co/cz94n9bYYd

Our story: https://t.co/XqLyol2yaE

[Heather Knight @hknightsf]

NEW: A viral video showed ICE agents detaining a woman at SFO on Sunday night. Documents obtained by the @nytimes show TSA officials scanning passenger lists tipped off ICE she was planning to fly to Miami. The woman has no criminal history.

Always great to team with @Haleaziz.
