Why Nothing Works Even amongst the chaos of the moment, the left must grapple with the challenge Marc Dunkelman describes in his important new book. In fact, because of it.

Mayor Lurie Tries to Bloomberg-ize San Francisco There’s decades-low crime, but outsiders remain skeptical about the city by the bay.

Frisco gets the Jonathan Martin treatment, and it's pretty on the nose. πŸ‘ƒπŸΌπŸŒ‰

Time sensitive: we've created a generic informal grievance template. Always defer to your collective bargaining unit. This isn't legal advice, just a recommendation based on personal experience. www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...
