I’m proud and honored to receive the endorsement of the largest Democratic Club in the city, the United Democratic Club! Our support is growing every day, and I am so appreciative of everyone joining us on our campaign!

The school board recall is a pivotal turning point in San Francisco politics and it wouldn't have been possible without the bold actions by Siva Raj and Autumn Looijen for D5 Supervisor. Thank you 🙏

Rising absenteeism, the pandemic, charter schools, and homeschooling have contributed to declines in public-school enrollment across the U.S. Alec MacGillis reports on the state of American education. nyer.cm/o7YcRNt

“We are in an awful situation. Our kids can’t wait longer to see their teachers. We can be mad at the state, but we have to take back our local control and be responsible for our dollars.” -Meredith W. Dodson via Han Li 李晗/The San Francisco Standard

Yes. on. A.

“The Great Highway is our next opportunity to create an iconic public space just as San Franciscans did before when they created the Embarcadero, Crissy Field, and Patricia’s Green." Audrey Liu, Inner Richmond resident speaking to SF Democratic Party sfstandard.com/2024/08/28/dem…

The scene at the Sunset Night Market tonight. Celebrating joy and creating our best San Francisco.

I would love to see similar studies on tech in schools themselves. How much does use of Ed tech affect language exposure in schools? I’m also certain that we aren’t talking enough about the burden these social shifts place on schools. It’s as if we are creating a larger burden

I didn’t speak English when I started 1st grade in the US. By the end of the year they wanted me to skip a year and go straight to 3rd grade. I was valedictorian of my high school, got a full scholarship for college, and have an MD and PhD from Stanford. He is the poison, not us

For those wondering after the Ricky Pearsall shooting, here are San Francisco's year-to-date crime stats. Homicides are down so far that they may set a new low in the modern era — back to at least '85. Robbery down 22%, larceny down 43%, burglary down 14%, car boosting down 18%

In this election, we each face a question: What kind of country do we want to live in? A country of chaos, fear, and hate? Or one of freedom, compassion, and rule of law? Each of us has the power to answer that question with our vote.

Love this. In addition to being called “difficult” have been called “too direct,” “hysterical,” and “too opinionated.” Proud of the company I keep with these adjectives :)

Typical love/hate relationship with SF’s fog🌫️ but one of my loves is living at the break line and watching it try to roll through. Sometimes it prevails, sometimes fails. You win some, you lose some. Life lessons from karl the fog

“I hope I have brought you wonder, and I hope you now bring wonder to others.” Kevin Fisher-Paulson died this morning, shortly after penning his final column in the San Francisco Chronicle. His column appeared weekly since 2016. Rest in peace. ❤️ sfchronicle.com/fisher-paulson…
