Peskin's anti-recall charter amendment would protect incompetent and malicious politicians, like the School Board, from being held accountable by voters. Our democracy requires that the voices of its citizens are heard, not silenced by the powerful. Peskin's BS has no place in SF

This is a dangerous power grab by the same forces who oppose the BoE recall. It would dramatically weaken the mayor’s power to act on issues such as public safety, affordable housing, homelessness, & give supervisors - who aren’t elected citywide - unprecedented power

We need help to stop @AaronPeskin and @conniechansf's antidemocratic power grab! They're seizing power from Mayor @LondonBreed, putting an unprecedented amount of control in the hands of our terrible Supervisors and shielding politicians from voter-driven recalls.Show this thread

If you're as enraged about the anti LBGTQ+ bills being presented in the and , this 🧵 is for you. I'm not naming names, but the legislator I just texted with told me our best plan of action: "BLAST THE F*CK OUT OF THEM."
Let's do this.

Flint, Michigan schools closed indefinitely. This district's minority enrollment is 90%. 80% of students are in living in poverty. You want to talk about economic inequality, talk to your union bosses keeping these kids and families locked out.

If you’re voting in the SF School Board recall, remember that cancelled only Lowell's magnet program as "elitist”
Of the 3 magnet schools in SF, Lowell is neither the wealthiest nor least diverse. That title belongs to SOTA, where sends her own children

This, more than anything else, is why SF's small businesses and hospitality business have been struggling. Tech & finance working from home. No international tourists. It's a 1-2 punch that is gut twisting.

Despite the outraged sugarcoating from I think historians would agree the filibuster was used today to advance its most consistent purpose thru history: to block equal rights for Blacks & other minorities

Striking, but hardly surprising, to hear both & to declare Justice Dep't will still protect voters rights w/out acknowledging GOP #SCOTUS has gutted the 2 provisions of VRA they can use for that & that filibuster is blocking the leg to restore them

Manchin and Sinema should just reregister as Republicans at this point. Devastated that the GOP was so willing to change filibuster rules for their convenience but Dems can’t to preserve the cornerstone of our democracy

There’s a lack of accountability in this city and I think the criminals know it. This is organized crime for sure and the fact that there are often no consequences for these kinds of crimes is one of the reasons why they continue.

I can desire to raise my kids in San Francisco and I can also be concerned by how it is mismanaged, corrupt, and alienating. I can be inspired by its beauty and diversity and I can be deeply upset by its inhumanity. This is not betrayal. This is love.

There are those who deny that the AAPI community grapples with poverty, racism, and marginalization - including our own electeds, one of whom refers to us as “white adjacent.” The immigrant story is one of struggle and resilience. #AsiansBelong #recallCollins
