Until Trump attacked birthright citizenship, most people had probably never heard of Wong Kim Ark, whose 1898 Supreme Court case established the legal precedent for birthright citizenship. My @sfc_opinions newsletter @sfchronicle#WongKimArk https://t.co/r7oorUrV66
SF Supervisor Alan Wong won Tuesday even though he voted for Mayor Lurie’s family zoning, which will allow taller and denser housing. Many of Wong's constituents oppose new housing, especially taller and denser. My @sfc_opinions newsletter @sfchronicle https://t.co/3G22Gpt0ac
With support from a wildly popular mayor, SF Supervisor Alan Wong was a front-runner to retain his seat. So it wasn’t a surprise that Wong won Tuesday. What was astonishing was his margin of victory. My @sfc_opinions newsletter @sfchronicle https://t.co/3G22Gpt0ac
OPINION: The political significance of Tuesday’s election isn’t simply that Mayor Daniel Lurie’s allies won (and won handily) — it’s where they won, columnist Allison Arieff writes. https://t.co/VI3lPc36Ac

My latest column: I refuse to gamify my CA governor vote & limit myself to a subset of mediocre candidates bc of polls. Elections aren’t foregone conclusions, & treating them as such only enables discontent & disengagement. Things can change in an instant.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Chronicle readers comment on a Bay Area town’s proposed library, the ban on gas water heaters, President Trump and healthcare, and wine prices. https://t.co/b4WsWLJeet
OPINION: Nearly half the population of S.F.’s District 4 is Chinese American. Does their supervisor have to be Chinese American? https://t.co/xAhebX0cjv
On Tuesday, unless there’s a major upset, a Chinese American once again will be elected as S.F. District 4 supervisor. I talk about what that means in my @sfc_opinions column @sfchronicle https://t.co/rJNqA1XVCM
A really good article by @HarryMok that goes in depth on the importance of Chinese racial-ethnic identity and representation in SF politics; I'm quoted on how voters often rely on co-ethnic identity as a signal of shared values and interests. https://t.co/UgaU45X8Jk
OPINION: Prop D won’t tax the people and wealthy companies voters imagine it will. Instead, it will hit retailers like grocery stores and pharmacies hardest, the Editorial Board writes. https://t.co/EsH05KSPjf
OPINION NEWSLETTER: We still need events like Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as a reminder that how we deal with race is a work in progress, Harry Mok writes. https://t.co/3kOUQFJNy6
OPINION: The California AG’s duties are expansive. This candidate has done them well enough that he’d be a top candidate for governor if he had chosen to run, the Editorial Board writes. https://t.co/3gp1B5Ktb9
OPINION: As the six conservative justices who control the Supreme Court are concerned, the 14th Amendment is no longer needed to protect the concept of “one person, one vote.” https://t.co/wUPbrW2w9m
