“McCoy’s politics and policies are fair game for any critic. So is his background: But to highlight his troubled past as a problem, while referring to similar transgressions as instructive “real-world experience” for  favored politicians, is transparently hypocritical.” @EskSF

“'Shhhhh,' [Joan Baez] said, and pulled me into a changing cubicle. 'We’ll hide here, and I’ll grab you John Lennon’s shirt for a keepsake.' And damn if she didn’t snag it from his dressing cubicle. I had it for years." missionlocal.org/2026/10/it-…

It was 60 years ago! My night at Candlestick with the Beatles.

Joan swooped up her sisters and me, and circled the room, introducing us to each member of the band. My eyes were two pinwheels.

San Francisco's Democratic Party is axles up in a ditch. We asked every politician and aspiring politician in town and every member of the county Dem Party if Chair Nancy Tung should step down. Here's what they said missionlocal.org/2026/10/sf-… @esksf @junyao98

We asked every San Francisco politician: Should Dem Party Chair Nancy Tung step down?

San Francisco Dems will meet in an Oct. 11 special meeting to reconsider their District 8 endorsement. It promises to be a fraught affair.
