@mateosfo @SophieHahnBerk She’s the literal worst

[(((Matthew Lewis))) cults & consequences @mateosfo]

... would set Berkeley back decades, and put us squarely off the map on climate action. Her actions to date, and actions of her cohort over last 20 years, have put us in our current predicament.

We can't afford another year of Sophie Hanh in office, let alone another 4 as Mayor.

[(((Matthew Lewis))) cults & consequences @mateosfo]

It's not an exaggeration to say that Sophie's run for Mayor represents an historic inflection point in Berkeley's history.

We've built a solid movement of pro-housing, pro-transit, pro-safe-streets activists in the city, but Sophie's NIMBYs are still legion.

A win for Sophie

[(((Matthew Lewis))) cults & consequences @mateosfo]

For many years, those of us close to Berkeley politics have shared our collective outrage over the notoriously abusive behavior of @SophieHahnBerk.

She's known for abusing city staff, and is fundamentally dishonest about urgent issues facing city.

And she's running for Mayor.

Trans youth are experiencing a wave of cruel attacks against their health and their rights. Let's make sure these young people know we support them and have their backs. Join @ACLU's pledge for trans youth now. https://t.co/9YeE9M1Ueh

Cities have made it illegal to build new homes on 75% of their land, leading to CA’s current affordability crisis.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Check out our latest video to understand how the affordability crisis affects Californians of all incomes

@BuffyWicks @EdRobertsCampus We will miss his energy and wit.

This was a twist I didn’t see coming. Claremont Elmwood Neighborhood President resigns because the board refuses to support the community process to begin zoning reform. @MarkHumbert writes “[the] neighborhood is virtually all white, and we ought to reject its racist history.”

[Laurie Capitelli @berkcap]

@loridroste @ericpanzer Don't you at least need a token old, white, hetero male?

For people who think the mainstream press have a "liberal bias," some questions:

What is the liberal equivalent of CPAC?

Can you point out a single mainstream news outfit that devotes as much coverage to a liberal equivalent as they do to CPAC?

TY to all who have led Berkeley to try to achieve greater equity thru zoning reform.

Among those is Dorothy Walker, in her 90s, who helped desegregate Berkeley schools.

She wrote “I am in tears with this long-awaited proposal...I never thought I would see it in my lifetime.”

A tax on sugary drinks has been proven to decrease diabetes rates and improve health equity while providing our cities additional revenue to help our COVID-19 response. Special interests should not be dictating policy to our cities. This bill gives power back to the people.
