@PortofOakland Since January 2025, hundreds of shipments of military cargo have flown out of OAK to Israel, including F-35 fighter jet components used to drop 2,000 pound bombs on the people of Gaza. Oakland Airport, stop arming the Israeli genocide.

Thank you @NEAToday for voting to cut ties with the ADL. The ADL pretends it's a civil rights group, but really, it's a pro-Israel lobbying group that smears Palestinian rights, and it should never be trusted as an educational resource. I urge all educators to #DropTheADL.

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Tell the California Assembly Education Committee to oppose SB 1277. Ensure fair, unbiased and inclusive genocide education! Write one here: https://t.co/fUgjYx9FsW

@mattdorsey @abc7newsbayarea @TaraABC7 @kenmiguel @mattdorsey's plan to make drug treatment part of the criminal punishment process spits in the face of decades of struggle to re-define addiction as a public health issue, not a criminal one. His program is police as the answer to everything in San Francisco's downward spiral.

SF Chron: "714 different wines, caviar, and organic mushroom" on 8th & Mission! City leaders wail as gentrification fails. This is a good thing. Housing, not Haverti! Care, not cavier!

@sfbos Keep remote public comment open for ALL San Franciscans, without a separate reasonable accommodations process @SupStefani @Stefani4CA @JoelEngardio @HillaryRonen

@sfbos Keep remote public comment open for ALL San Franciscans! Thank you to all supes who are really listening to your community <3 @mattdorsey @AaronPeskin @myrnamelgar

[Michael Lyon @mlyon01]

Please vote AGAINST the Mandelman amendments to restrict public comment! A separate reasonable accommodations process is bad for disabled people & bad for nondisabled people! #KeepRemoteAccess @SupStefani @Stefani4CA @JoelEngardio @HillaryRonen #KeepRemoteAccess

Mourning Judy Heumann, a leader in the 504 sit-in in San Francisco and so much other disability advocacy, a mentor to hundreds of disabled people, and a true legend.

SFDPH declares COVID health emergency ends Feb 28. "Masks, vaccines and treatments — are now in place for people to respond to the virus on an INDIVIDUAL level." You're on your own. This is what capitalism looks like.

⚠️RAIL WORKERS IN THE US HAVE NO SICK LEAVE ==> they died of #COVID at 2x more during pandemic than workers from all other industries (red), and even died at 3.5x more than all other workers in 2021 (purple), says CDC report. #Railroadstrike #RailStrike

Biden says pandemic's over, nobody's wearing masks. Racist garbage. Keep BART mask mandate. How dare SF-MUNI and AC-Transit not have mask mandates?

[Senior and Disability Action (SDA) @sdaction1]

COVID kills unequally: disabled people, seniors, and Black and brown people die at the highest rates. If you support racial equity, disability rights, and value the lives of elders, you need to support masks on transit! #Masks4Equity
