In 2016, the last time the Super Bowl came to the Bay Area, SF residents vandalized statues, threw a nationally-covered protest, and bemoaned the high cost to taxpayers. Why are things so quiet this year? I break it down in

SF Hated the Super Bowl in 2016. A Decade Later, What’s Changed?
Ten years ago, protesters took to the streets to slam San Francisco’s Super Bowl City and call for an end to homeless sweeps. As the game returns to the Bay this week, why are things so quiet?

Don’t worry, Biden’s legacy will be enshrined in every museum dedicated to the Gaza genocide. That’s all that will be remembered of his presidency and 50 year political career — that he armed & enabled genocide because he prioritized one group of people over a group who he considered to be subhuman.
