Perspective: “Red flag” laws are some of the strongest tools we have to stop gun violence before it starts. But SF is lagging behind other cities in using these laws, write Supervisor @SupStefani and City Attn. @DavidChiu. That needs to change. sfstandard.com/perspectives/…

Collins blocked @sethbrenzel from becoming the only dad and gay member the Parent Advisory Council because she felt he wasn't "diverse" enough. She's now proposing a Queer Trans Parent Advisory Council and spoke tonight about "honoring" and "respecting" the LGBTQ+ community.

If you want perspective on how how people <35 die in the US, relative to COVID, take a look. It would be nice if we placed a proportionate amount of societal energy into preserving life via prevention of MV acc, ODs, homicide, suicide, & drownings (not shown but 12x more for <5)

Remember when we impeached Trump 7 days before his term was over? That was awesome and it was the right thing to do. A good reminder that just because there’s an election in November doesn’t mean we shouldn’t recall the BOE now. @recallsfboe

Can't believe we have to say this again... SF had the slowest reopening of any major district in the country last year, the *only* one to not bring back all middle schoolers.

The point of this is to create a perception that her critics are monsters - a very old propaganda technique used by demagogues since time immemorial. Nevermind that she has to lie, omit, and dissemble to create that impression, or that I personally can’t even vote in her recall.
