Hope she wasn't being a creep in the women's bathroom with those glasses.

Nope. And they don't get to punch the people filming either.

Am I the only one who does not like that silver thing? It looks like a tin foil bag you would use on a BBQ.

So much transphobia is directed at trans women in particular (transphobes barely acknowledge trans men even exist) and idiots like this have to "find out" it's because they're raging misogynists who they hate all women.

Remembering 'Diamond' Dave Whitaker, 88, San Francisco's common thread Local legend "Diamond" Dave Whitaker passed on March 2. His friends and colleagues remember him for his poetry, politics, and kindness.

Sad to hear of Diamond Dave's passing. He knew everyone is San Francisco and everyone in San Francisco knew him. What a legend!

Update! Judge says it was the defendant who was violently assaulted by the mayor's security, not the other way round.

Also, how could these attacks be "retaliatory" as many outlets are reporting, when they were supposedly planned before the war even started?

It's unclear what was said, but the video very clearly shows the cop, who failed to identify himself as one, violently shoving the guy twice before the guy clinches with him and takes him down.

The FBI reportedly warned California police departments in February that Iran could retaliate against the U.S., if it were to conduct strikes, by using drones aimed at the West Coast, according to an alert viewed by ABC News.

The alert, distributed at the end of February, told law enforcement that the FBI had “recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United States Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the U.S. conducted strikes against Iran.”

The FBI added it had “no additional information on timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.”

Trying to understand the timing of this warning about possible drone attacks in California by Iran, given that this information was acquired in early February, before the US and Israel attacked Iran, and we're just hearing about it today. Why?

And the irony is they would completely disavow Jesus if he came back. He would be considered a "radical left terrorist" in their eyes.

Which is going to make anything that needs to be transported in gas-powered vehicles a lot more expensive too. In other words, most of the food we eat.

The mayor and his goons ought to have identified themselves before starting a physical altercation on the streets on SF.

A neighbor told me the coyotes that are typically resident on the hill (Bayview Park) have relocated to the fenced off area where Candlestick Park used to be. I guess they are going to have to move back up the hill.

The former home of Candlestick Park is a 280-acre waterfront property with approvals for about 7,200 homes, along with commercial development.

Finally! We've been waiting for 10 years for this promised development in the Bayview and meanwhile the Candlestick area has become a wasteland that attracts dumping.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.
