“Breed was pushed to act in part because of Tenderloin leaders telling her ‘these conditions have made our lives almost unlivable, and damaging the psyche and well-being of our children,’ said Miller. 

❤️👏🏼

“I think the real test is, it’s great that she’s come out with this, but let’s not declare victory by a speech. It has to be action.” @beyondchron

Agree!

Let’s do this!
It was a big week

From Commonwealth Club:

“With covid restrictions our main auditorium space can seat 150-200 and our overflow space can accommodate an additional 80.”

Please help me fill it!!! Show of strength for saving SF!

And party afterwards to grow the movement. Location TBD
Helen says that not only will she be there but she will buy a new dress for the occasion 😍
Many characters from "San Fransicko," and many characters like them, will be there! Please come and make this an opportunity to celebrate how far we've come and build our movement for real change. This is not the end but a possible beginning of the end to the chaos & suffering.

People are mad at @Sen_JoeManchin for killing Biden's Build Back Better, but progressive dogmatism is to blame. Dems could have written a bill that expanded nuclear & nat gas. Instead, they doubled down on bloated, inflationary subsidies for renewables.

michaelshellenberger.substack.com/p/climate-dogm…
The centerpiece of President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda is dead. Senator Joe Manchin today announced that he could not support Biden’s “Build Back Better” legislation which consisted of $1.7T in new spending and would have added $158B to the debt over the next decade.
The largest component of spending, $570 billion, was for renewables, electric cars, and other climate change investments

Progressives, environmentalists, and Democrats are furious with Sen. Manchin, but it was their climate and renewables dogmatism that doomed the legislation.

And yet if you asked SF progressives if they'd be okay with having a highly-profitable, multi-billion dollar foreign corporation sell on their sidewalks a highly addictive product, which kills two people a day, most would say "no."
Meanwhile, San Francisco won't let law-abiding citizens open an ice cream store even after they invested $200,000 on rent, fees, and lawyers...

And San Francisco remains a national leader in stomping out second-hand cigarette smoke whose harm is significantly less and far-longer term than instantaneous death from Chinese-Honduran fentanyl

The decision by SF Mayor @LondonBreed to shut down open drug scenes is right, but SF lacks shelters, rehab clinics, group homes, and hospital psych beds. SF can’t solve this alone. We need a single state agency, Cal-Psych, to centralize care at facilities statewide at a low cost
Cal-Psych would be able to purchase shelter space, psychiatric beds, board and care facilities, and treatment facilities from across the state.

michaelshellenberger.substack.com/p/why-californ…
Cal-Psych would do as much as legally, ethically, and practically possible to establish voluntary drug treatment and psychiatric care. It would also work with the courts and law enforcement to enforce involuntary care through assisted outpatient treatment and conservatorship.

Defund the police activist in L.A. now fears gun threats at child's school

Defund the police activist in Oakland now so scared she removes her jewelry before pumping gas

LA Times defund activist admits "even Black Americans" don’t want to defund police

latimes.com/california/sto…
Last year, @latimes columnist @Erika_D_Smith called for defunding the police

She now admits that defunding the police was PR disaster but claims that covid is supposedly the cause of rising homicides, not the withdrawal of police & criminal emboldenment

latimes.com/california/sto…
It'a all already over for the progressives on crime. They lost. Why?

— Record homicides in Philly+12

— Emboldened criminals, from Walgreens to Louis Vuitton

— And the progressive denial of crime, the minimization of crime, and the gas-lighting of the public experiencing crime

"If one wanted to destroy an economy from within, it would be hard to do a better job than what Germany is doing. Shutting down nuclear plants & replacing them with intermittent renewables, Germany has left itself and the EU vulnerable to shortages."

"One need look no further than the explosion in the cost of electricity for proof of what this blitzkrieg of stupidity has accomplished. The full fallout from these blunders will continue to reverberate for years to come."

Now that the mainstream media recognize that efforts to defund the police resulted in officer withdrawal & criminal emboldenment, progressives are attacking those who point out their complicity in rising homicides

Witness the making of a new Woke taboo:

sfchronicle.com/bayarea/justin…
Look at this effort to deny responsibility:

"While there is continuing debate about what is driving the violent crime increases... we know for a fact that 'defund had nothing to do with it. Because defund' never actually happened."

This is sleight-of-hand misinformation.
The reason Oakland didn't defund the police is because because, in response to a massive progressive effort to defund the police, the police withdrew, criminals were emboldened, homicides rose, and the Oakland mayor sought to reverse the cuts to the police budget:
