By the way, City of Yes support is not substantially lower in the low-density Community Boards which voted "unfavorable" on the proposal. Support here is still 67% of voters!

THREAD. The Atlantic just published a terrible piece of copaganda. It's a good example of copaganda by a smart but confused progressive writer. Because we need well-meaning people to change how they report on the urgent problems of the punishment bureaucracy—I did this thread.

I went to SF’s #Chinatown to report on efforts to combat #AntiAsian crimes. I found a neighborhood struggling with woeful #internet — in 2022 the tech capital of the world, Chinatown is an Internet dead zone. Read about the woman trying to change that https://t.co/4i4XjDGhPT

This is the definition of bait & switch. The TL plan was sold to the BOS based on commitments that SFPD would not be involved. It would not have been approved otherwise. This is a disastrous move that will worsen the problem it claims to solve. https://t.co/AfxyaDbGFv

Longshore workers will shut down the port this THURSDAY & hold a rally at NOON at Oscar Grant Plaza w/ Oakland teachers & students.

Both unions are fighting privatization—in the port against the Oakland A’s new stadium, & against school closures. Spread the word!

In this country, you can even kill white people and get away with it if those white people are fighting for Black lives. This is the legacy of 1619.

NEW: Putting white men on trial doesn’t equal justice for Black people.

“These institutions were not built to be just or fair. They were built to uphold race-based capitalism, white supremacy, and white male dominance.”

Facts from @LastWeekTonight: When we actually show "that we give a s***" about family caregivers, care workers, aging adults, & people with disabilities, we invest in a world that supports and cares for ALL OF US. #CareCantWait https://t.co/meWVO7GL6X

Our country calls people who are *nonviolently* protesting racism, oppression, etc dangerous extremists and meets them with all the force of the law, yet armed mobs like these are allowed to run rampant, to hold court in statehouses, governor’s homes, and now the US Capitol

[Peter Estes @PeterEstes]

All I can think about is how preventable today was — and how nothing like this would ever have been allowed to happen if the protesters had been supporting BLM

[Peter Estes @PeterEstes]

What and who we code as violent in America is and has always been a deeply flawed tool of racial and social oppression
