🐶Meet Muon. She's a scent detection dog helping our biologists protect the endangered SF garter snake. Muon follows her nose, finds snake scent & sits to signal the location. Now that's what you call a paws-itively amazing way to protect wildlife! 💚 sfpuc.gov/about-us/news/sfpu…

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

Congratulations to @DennisHerrera, a friend and mentor who modeled professionalism and excellence in public service for more than three decades. From marriage equality to public power to a generation of top-notch alumni — including Kamala Harris, Scott Wiener, Rob Bonta, U.S. District Count Judge Vince Chhabria, California Appellate Justice Terry Stewart, and a half dozen superior court judges (and me, too) — it’s an impressive legacy. Thank you, Dennis! (1/2)

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more thoughtful, determined and principled civic leader than @dennisherrera. #SF is going to miss you.
I've decided to retire this December after nearly 25 years serving the people of San Francisco. It has been the greatest honor of my professional life to support this great city and work alongside such talented public servants. Thank you all! I ❤️ SF
