Today Speaker Emerita Pelosi hosted a special Politics & Eggs breakfast with our dedicated volunteers and special guest Rep. Jamie Raskin. It was an honor meeting one of the most brilliant minds in Constitutional law. 🇺🇸

And commit to working with everyone involved to find a resolution that allows them to stay in the Castro – and if the only resolution available to the Khoury family is a legislative one, I am in full support.

I join the overwhelming chorus in calling for continued advocacy in support of the Khoury family and their long-time 30+ years small businesses vital to the neighborhood…

Despite these challenges, the Khoury brothers’ businesses have long contributed to the vibrant corridor on Castro Street. The loss of these two businesses during the renovation of the Castro Theatre will only contribute to the empty storefronts in the neighborhood.

Both businesses are often bustling with activity – friends catching up over coffee and pastries or gossiping during a manicure.

Castro businesses face the same struggles other neighborhood businesses encounter across San Francisco – vacant storefronts, raising rents, and rising costs.

As a long-time Castro resident and neighbor I’ve patronized our small businesses over the past 15 years, and both Castro Coffee and Castro Nail Salon are anchors in our community.

Shout out to Hans How and team for raising critical funds tonight at QBar in the Castro for LGBT Asylum Project, Parivar Bay Area, and others.

You can still make it for food, entertainment, and fun, until 9pm!

Hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥

A very Happy Birthday today to the boss (in so many ways), Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi! 👠🥳🎂

Today I woke up with 14 full years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol, and I *almost* forgot!

Time flies when life happens with a clear head.

Grateful for so many people, experiences, and the program of AA/CMA, that made this possible, thank you all! 🥰

I’m just glad Merrick Garland can sleep well knowing he followed norms and traditions!

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Written right there in the Constitution.

The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

Bernie woke up, went on X, and chose violence.

Remember when being a woman was a pre-existing medical condition? Insurance companies could actually deny coverage for pregnancies.

MAGA Republicans have promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act and leave every person in the US with a pre existing condition vulnerable again.

We will stop them!

Spent yesterday touring a number of HealthRIGHT 360 programs and SoMa with a wonderful delegation from Zurich as part of their 20yr partnership with SF - leadership from their police department, department of health, supervised consumption site program, & harm reduction & illegal substances. 💪🏼

hey sorry I missed your text, I am processing a non-stop 24/7 onslaught of information with a brain designed to eat berries in a cave

Spending time with my grandmother and somehow we started talking about Prohibition. “All the rich doctors and judges thought they were better than everyone else because they could afford ‘the recipe’ - but my dad was the only one that had ‘the recipe’ and they were all buying it from us. 😂

SF shutdown of Dolores hill bomb overlooked detail: telling anybody San Francisco has shut down rowdy events before, but it has usually told people, repeatedly, ahead of time. Not so for the hill bomb.

“What it [the city] did not do is tell anyone about any of this ahead of time. It did not reach out to skaters, it did not announce its intention to close down Dolores Street, it did not plaster posters in the area — or post on Instagram — warning people to stay away.”

How most of our weekend went… how could anyone not love San Francisco? 🥰

My primary care doc suggested a booster during my annual checkup just before Pride weekend (and citing that for the importance) - and he had it there is his office finally lol Had been about a year since I’d had a booster.

Love this!!! We’re thinking of renewing our vows and having an actual public ceremony at 10 years (another 1.5 to go) - this would be amazing!

Please support striking workers in the way they’ve asked for. Instead of a viewer boycott, which they haven’t asked for, can you commit to donating to the strike fund, which they have? Maybe an amount equal to what you pay for streaming each month, for even one of the streamers, if not all?

Sorry for screaming at the top of my lungs, but WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY JUST GOT EIGHT EMMY NOMINATIONS!!!!

He told of a time during the 2008 presidential campaign when a 23-year-old fundraising staffer got into the car with Biden. "Okay, senator, time to do some fundraising calls," the aide said. Biden responded by looking at him and snapping: "Get the f**k out of the car."

I think this is meant to make Biden look bad, but this sounds awesome https://www.axios.com/2023/07/10/biden-temper-us-president

Part of being nice, is being mean to fascists

San Francisco Police Corral, Zip-Tie Over 80 Young People in Mass Arrest Near Dolores Park Sunday night around 8:45 p.m., SFPD officers in riot gear trapped dozens of teenagers during the annual "Hill Bomb" event in San Francisco.

“We’re not going to mince words here: It’s incredibly shameful, chauvinistic, and outright abominable how SF police handled minors participating in what’s largely considered an accepted July happening.”

Hey Larry, quick question

Is there really any other way? 🤣

The housing shortage and homelessness in San Francisco. Is there a solution? With diminishing housing options and soaring rents, the city has one of the higher homelessness rates in nation.

Throwback to a June 2016 interview with PBS on, “The housing shortage and homelessness in San Francisco. Is there a solution?”

Sadly, I could give this same exact interview today - over 7 years later. 🏡
