How dare Yee lie & claim TODCO wasn’t aware “of the issues raised today” - that’s a lie. Both Yee & Elberling of TODCO were aware that there were multiple women who made allegations of abuse & rape against Jacobo. Receipts: I sent them the email below on March 14, 2023.

Our legislation to legalize supervised use of psychedelics with licensed facilitators & promote education on safe use passed its 1st committee. SB 1012 is a big step toward access & education for substances with huge potential to help people be healthy & turn their lives around.
Homicides are plummeting. In all 10 cities with the most 2023 homicides—for which we have data—homicides are falling. The pandemic crime wave is crashing hard. If these percentage decline numbers were percentage growth numbers, it would be the lede of every cable news show—>
The fascist Iranian regime’s direct attack on Israel is part of its decades-long strategy to annihilate Israel. It supports Hamas/Hezbollah/Houthis. It’s helping Russia in its campaign to conquer a European democracy. It works to destabilize Arab countries. The lines are clear.
We continue to see imagery on college campuses accusing Jews of killing & even eating non-Jews. This “blood libel” is a form of antisemitism going back to the Middle Ages. It instigates violence against Jews & there needs to be accountability when this bigotry happens.
The Chinatown Night Market is off the hook. Chinatown — like San Francisco generally — is so alive & so beautiful.
We instituted a vacant home tax because we were told there are 1.3 million homes out there sitting empty just waiting to be occupied. That was a lie. We instituted a foreign buyers tax and ban because we were told all the housing was being bought up by them. This was also a lie.…

Thank you @GavinNewsom for your decisive leadership to counter antisemitism in California. This is a vital step to safeguard our community. We must work together to ensure people of all faiths and backgrounds are safe and welcome in the Golden State.

Ok so. Let’s break this announcement down so EVERYONE understands the context, and how big a deal this is: 🧵
But what’s most important is that San Francisco can, and should, adopt a rezoning plan that results in far more housing than the current draft. This is the only way to meet our CA state requirements, and this is what we committed to do when we passed the Housing Element.
Overt antisemitism, hateful slogans, spray painting swastikas on Jewish spaces, cheering on Hamas, glorifying violence, "globalizing" the Intifada, promoting the "resistance" narrative, demonizing dialogue with Jews/Israelis, attacking humanitarians because they have to work with…
This week I've felt so angry about the news in Gaza. The death toll continues to rise from bombing and famine, civilians and then WCK aid workers were bombed. We should all be outraged. We desperately need a ceasefire now. But this disgusting hate is completely unacceptable.

My grandmother, Barbara Cohen, was a children's book author in the 70s & 80s. Our family recently found out that her one of her books (written 50 years ago!), THANK YOU, JACKIE ROBINSON, is banned in Duval County, FL. This is beyond awful, but mostly, it is just so, so stupid.
