CA Advocates for Nursing Home Reform has filed a civil rights complaint against the SF Dept. of Pub Health "for its discriminatory policy that prevents disabled residents of long term care facilities from having any form of in-person visits regardless of their relative safety."

"You told me the visitation order was being reworked and its release was imminent," CANHR Attorney Anthony Chicotel said in an email today to SF's deputy city attorney Glenn Levy. "Then weeks go by with nothing but silence."

“Sheriff’s detectives had concerns after [Casarez] was doxed and his identifying information was released publicly that he could feel forced to react and/or carry out acts of violence based on his ideology,” Sgt. Teresa Deterding said.

Will be covering San Francisco’s “Day of Rage” protests in response to Israel’s planned annexation of part of the West Bank.
The protest, which is a car caravan because of Covid, has about 180 attendees on Facebook.
Clyde Leland, a former @usfca law professor and member of @jvplive, said he thinks Israel’s planned annexation puts a “death knell” on any possible peace solutions.
There are also counter protests to “Day of Rage” - @StandWithUs and Voice for Israel are organizing truck ads like these:
