Ah, it’s that time of the year in SF that NOAA clearly has no idea how to predict. They should just say “it’ll be 90 degrees until it isn’t and then it’ll be winter”

If you know me, you've probably heard my screed on why we need the Western States Alliance to protect the rights of citizens where the federal government is failing miserably. Little did I know the (real) West Coast Health Alliance would be the first important step in that direction

JUST IN: ICE agents in San Francisco just now drove through protesters, used pepper spray, & brandished rifles at those who had gathered to try to stop an immigration arrest. A woman, holding onto the hood of an ICE SUV, was thrown off.
