San Francisco is so brutally screwed up that the US Attorney has to make sure they take on gang-related charges federally.

Otherwise Chesa Boudin will plea them back out onto the street ASAP

SF is not completely lawless/complicit, just mostly that

sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/11/15/ove…
Specifically Chesa Boudin has gotten zero trials/convictions in narcotics for 2019-2020 and refuses to charge gang enhancements

I'm told the feds have to be a backstop for law and order. SF may fail its citizens but we are still Americans, and am I ever glad that is true.
Other examples of the US Attorney intervening in the most extreme cases

This armed robbery of a donut shop - would have been pled out / no chance for any intervention (let alone rehabilitation) without the feds here

Jan 2020 (the day Boudin took office) — delayed charges for child kidnapping and enticement of a minor sfist.com/2020/01/08/l-a…

September 2021 — Feds step in with charges justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/l…
Even the anti-Democratic recall stealer Jason Kruta had to be charged by CA attorney general @AGRobBonta because Chesa Boudin had to recuse himself

Kruta and Boudin are known associates via the Richmond Democratic Club and the SF Berniecrats

When the local authorities don't do their jobs, there is still a backstop of state and federal

We can make better decisions, which is why I funded @safersfnoboudin

We are common sense Dems who want criminal justice reform and safety. We can have both.

Unhinged SF Police Commissioner calls me a face eating leopard 👏

@MaliaCohen pls fire this extremist
For those just tuning in, John Hamasaki serves on the SF police commission.

He blocked use of non lethal tasers by police in SF.

He advocates for teens to have access to guns.

A sane city would fire him immediately. We do not live in that city.

Bilal Mahmood is my pick for San Francisco's AD17 state assembly seat.

We need bold common sense ideas for how to fix our city & state—
🚨 safe streets
📚 great schools with advanced math
🏡 solving the housing crisis

Follow, donate and volunteer for @bilalmahmood today
His experience reflects my experience: SF is a beacon for people who want to create new things, and it is the frontier. Immigrants from around the world come here to build the future.

But we're losing our way, and a leader like Bilal will help fix our wayward political machines
We don't need politics as usual. A vote for Matt Haney (who removed algebra from public middle schools in SF) and David Campos (who is deeply enmeshed with the progressive machine owned by nonprofits like TODCO) is a path to ruin.

If we let the machine fester, SF will suffer.

Myrna Melgar is such a political neophyte she said the quiet part out loud in the SF Chronicle. She admitted to corruption that should be illegal.

Classless taunting by someone who didn't win the most first place votes to begin with ImageImage
What is this really about? Nonprofits in San Francisco run things.

And with that, corruption, graft, and our city is falling apart. Why is Myrna Melgar attacking @ShellenbergerMD?

He wrote a book on how this corrupt progressive machine has ruined this city. Image
If you want to know why our city is covered in needles, poop, crime, and no pragmatic housing, you'll have to read San Fransicko.

Melgar, Preston, Peskin, Ronen and their whole crew make sure this place stays that way.

Trends I'm most excited about

* Outcomes as a service
* Influencers founding startups
* Universal autonomous housing
* Direct to patient healthcare
* NFT royalties for artists
* Dynamic pricing for all workforces
* Brain computer interfaces

I love being a generalist investor
* Career reskilling regardless of prior credentials
* No code for every workflow
* Enabling hybrid work
* Practical robots that can see
* Psychedelics curing mental health disorders
* Figma-ify every piece of software (collaborative web)
* Rebundling of chat networks
My idea of Outcomes as a Service—

a/ there's a lot of money
b/ people can do smarter/better things if they use software
c/ they don't want to buy that software
d/ if you lend or take risk because you have software, you can take a cut of the benefit

I am not a billionaire! I want everyone else to be billionaires. In fact, I think we've funded people (usually just an idea or a demo and a few founders) who went on to become billionaires (or close) at least a few dozen times now.
Also I never cofounded Palantir, I was employee #10. I designed the logo. I worked there for about 2 years very early, 2005-2007, and left when it was around 100 ppl.

I made a whole video on YouTube about how I lost $200M by turning down Peter Thiel.

I usually say "ignore these insane people" but you have to understand:

These people are highly aligned and close associates with the extremist progressive SF machine!

I'm a common sense liberal, and they attack me. It makes no sense.

This person works for the SF District Attorney's office.

Why is she harassing reporters? Our Asian American communities are grieving and she is fighting a PR battle for perception.

We don't want perception. We want actual safety. The DA's office subsidizes image, not reality.
Dion Lim is reporting the pain of our community. I am Chinese-American. I grew up in Fremont. We drive 880 regularly. I have a 2 year old at home.

This is a constant attack on our communities—by public officials paid by our tax dollars. It's an outrage

Support @safersfnoboudin
This image made me cry today, I literally wept between back to back Zooms when I saw it. This is not the Bay Area I want to know.

This is not what our society should be. We don't deserve this. Nobody does.

Asian Americans won't forget this.
