ICYMI: CCSF board candidate @MHurabiell apologized for calling Critical Race Theory "dangerous nonsense."

Two Dem clubs endorsed her:
@SFENDC & @uniteddemclubsf.

Looking through her @SFElections records, I found she was a Republican for 20+ years.
kqed.org/news/11924942/… To be clear, City College board is a non-partisan race.

And according to @SFDemocrats bylaws, I'm told, Democratic clubs can even endorse Republicans in a non-partisan race.

But it is curious that she changed her party affiliation within about a week of filing to run.

Last night I saw a raw, truly human moment from someone who almost took a dark path on #SFMuni.

It started with some rowdy teeangers in the back of a 38-Geary, mouthing off just past Gough street. I was in the front, and all I could hear was shouting.

(1/?) The driver was quick to take care of things. He stopped the bus, walked outside and to the back. I got up too, ready to help if things got physical. This has happened more than once in my lifetime riding Muni. It's part of being a community.

I needn't have worried.
