[Mission Local @MLNow]

On Aug. 10, four days after prominent Mission leader Jon Jacobo was accused of raping Sasha Perigo, @MissionGirls put out a statement naming him and condemning sexual violence. Soon, the post was removed, and the person who posted it fired. @miss_elenius

If you still don't think Border Patrol whipping Black Haitian asylum seekers is rooted in white supremacy then remember that asylum is legal & there are ~600K undocumented (mostly white) Canadians in America & you never once saw BP whip them, cage them, or block them from entry.

Haiti has experienced unimaginable tragedy in recent months—a presidential assassination, a devastating earthquake, a tropical depression, and rising gang violence...

Thank you Supervisor @myrnamelgar and @rivera_ani ❤️

Believe women. I support you, Sasha.

In SF's world of rough politics, the fallout may be intense. But for the sake of protecting other women, Sasha posted this anyway. It was damned brave.

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge’s ruling today declared the #DACA program unlawful in a case led by Texas Attorney General and joined by 9 states.

⚠️ While the @DHSgov can continue to accept applications, the ruling blocks the department from approving new ones.

The Supreme Court will hear a case challenging a Mississippi law that prohibits nearly all abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy.

It will be the first abortion case to be fully argued before the SCOTUS since Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation.

Scoop: the Biden admin has approved the sale of $735 million in precision-guided weapons to Israel, raising red flags for some House Dems more open to questioning DC’s support of Netanyahu, suggesting the sale be used as leverage. W/ @karoun: https://t.co/8L9xUy7Vby

1 year after the murder of SPC Guillén, & after 2 damning reviews, the need for major reform of the military’s handling of sexual assault/harassment has never been more urgent. Congress must pass the #IAmVanessaGuillen Act this year to achieve justice for Vanessa & all survivors!

California's AG is opening up an independent review of the Vallejo police shooting of #SeanMonterrosa after the DA refused to.

The 22-year-old was killed by police last June. Police claimed he had a gun (it was a hammer).
