“This is political theatre,” advocates said in the filing. “Nothing stops California from investing in affordable housing and emergency shelter for thousands of its residents forced to sleep outside.” mercurynews.com/2024/04/04/bay…

Remember when the Palestinian ministry of health held a conference between hundreds of dead bodies at the Baptist hospital in #Gaza City following israel’s massacre there?
That’s the moment I realized nothing will stop israel from committing endless massacres.
Shame on you all.

This article from the San Francisco Chronicle repeats an oft-heard myth about the origins of People's Park: that the site was originally acquired by the University of California 'to make room for dormitories'

But this isn't true. Here's where this myth comes from and why it persists:

They were in a car and hit by a drone that has cameras that can clearly see the WCK logo on top of the car.

When I was a kid, I was put in a residential treatment center like some politicians are asking for. There, we had to “learn” and embody certain qualities like “integrity” or “responsibility.” We couldn’t pass levels without getting the approval of both staff and our peers. 1/x

If anyone hears of any job openings for photographer in the Bay Area please let me know. I'm done working for the company I work for. I haven't had a raise in over 18 years. I'm a Pulitzer prize photojournalist with 30 years experience. Maybe I can work at Starbucks.

🧵Story time! For months I've been paying close attention to data on disenrollments from Medi-Cal (CA's Medicaid program). Latinos make up the largest percentage of Medi-Cal recipients, and also make up the largest number of people disenrolled each month. That makes sense. BUT...

Immigrants I cover have had a really rough time. Medi-Cal has expanded over the years to include undocumented immigrants. Antonio Abundis, who I met in Oakland, was in that pool. He received Medi-Cal in 2022, just as he was feeling unusual symptoms... (📸: Hiram Alejandro Durán )

As I get ready to celebrate Nowruz (Persian New Year) tonight with my parents at San Francisco City Hall, I'm thinking of my uncle who is no longer with us.

Cyrus Salehi was our closest relative living in America. He was murdered. And it forever impacted my life and upbringing.

Will wonders never cease?

No human being is “illegal”. President Biden used that word during his speech last night. That is wrong. Change starts with the words we choose.

Ningún ser humano es “ilegal”. El presidente Biden usó esa palabra en su discurso de anoche. Es un error. El cambio comienza con las…

I can't think what words to write on here any more.

Horrific images from Gaza, less than 24hrs old, of the unimaginable brutal killing of a human being by being run over by an IDF tank.

As much as I want to look away, we must not turn away. We are not the ones experiencing the genocide. We must bear witness, and demand justice.
