In the first draft I had Homan speaking these words, but at the moment Bovino was the more visible face of the occupation so I swapped him out

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

They're lying!

According to Tacoma, WA area Redditors, this was the work of ILWU Local 91 in Oakland, CA

A float with a sign reading "Let San Francisco have the Liberty Bell for 1915"

Van Ness & McAllister, 1912
Bring the Liberty Bell to SF for the 1915 PPIE. A petition signed by Californians was an 80 foot long roll paraded down Market Street en route to Philadelphia. Spoiler: it was shown at the PPIE. This is another from the giant donation of glass negs #sfhistory #sfmemory

Wonderful show and a great night, a who’s who of San Francisco transit lovers, young and old. The show is still up, go see it!

It was a great night, i love that collection and Jeremy did a great job curating it. He honored all the photographers who came before him

These were just inverted iphone snaps of the negatives, better versions will be coming. Pictured: about a quarter of the total boxes each one holds at least a dozen plates. Not all are in great condition and not all have wide interest but there are some truly wonderful shots not seen in 100 years

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Visitacion Valley Aerial Aerial View over Southern Pacific Railroad's Bayshore Yard, US101 freeway construction, Cow Palace

I scanned the 11x11 prints at the archive in San Bruno, my portable scanner wasn't big enough to get the whole view, so I generally placed the prints so that only water was omitted (sometimes the legend was also missed) sfmemory.org/Display/sfm0...

Brisbane Aerial Aerial View over Southern Pacific Railroad's Bayshore Yard, US101 freeway construction, Brisbane, Guadelupe Canyon Parkway construction

The aerial survey comes from the National Archive and was shot in February 1956. The fill north of the lagoon is a bit older, there was once a hill about half the size of nearby Bayview Hill that was used to create it. sfmemory.org/Display/sfm0...

A good friend, historian Richard Brandi, let me scan his father's slides, there are a few here of the fire. opensfhistory.org/search/index...

Glad to do it! Here's a very busy downtown Oakland (Broadway and San Pablo) in 1922. There's a lot more Oakland on the website sfmemory.org/Display/sfm0...

23rd & Pennsylvania Jul 1, 1962 Western Pacific Tunnel Fire.[23rd and Pennsylvania, Smoke from southern entrance of tunnel of the Western Pacific Railroad that ran under Potrero Hill. On July 1, 1962 a fire began in the 1600-foot-long tunnel between Islais Creek ferry slip and its terminal at 8th and Brannan.]

Yeah The Western Pacific Tunnel! There was a big fire in it in 1962, not sure if it was still active, but parts of it collapsed and it was sealed off permanently.

Working through the mapping on these, some great stuff here!
