San Francisco, California – On April 11, tenant representatives from the Veritas Tenants Association gathered at the mailbox at 150 Larkin St. across the lawn from San Francisco City Hall. They dropped 15 letters to their landlord, Veritas Investments, the largest landlord in San Francisco and the subject of lawsuits alleging tenant harassment, into the mailbox. “We will show what it means to unionize the biggest private landlord in S.F.,” tenant Madelyn McMillian said. “We will be bargaining on […]

Rights Or Power. Critical analysis from Tenant and Neighborhood Councils (TANC) on the limits of reformist legislation and why tenant organizations must aim for the abolition of rent and developing tenant power. In February, San Francisco officials amended administrative code to “require residential landlords to allow tenant organizing activities to occur in common areas of the building; require certain residential landlords to recognize duly-established tenant associations, confer in good faith with said associations, and attend some of their meetings upon request; and provide that a landlord’s failure to allow organizing activities or comply with their obligations as to tenant associations may […]

At San Antonio’s Cornerstone Church on Sunday morning, hundreds of maskless congregants sang and prayed, swaying together in the pews, babies and grandparents in close proximity. It might have been easy to forget there was a deadly pandemic blazing through the country. That is, until about 25 minutes into the sermon, when pastor Matt Hagee, on a stage bathed in blue light, announced that his father, the 80-year-old senior pastor and the church’s founder, John Hagee, had been diagnosed two days earlier with COVID-19. Hagee said during the Oct. 4 livestreamed service that his father “has been diligent throughout this entire […]
ROME—A San Francisco State University-sponsored talk by convicted Palestinian hijacker Leila Khaled was canceled by Zoom and YouTube, according to the Lawfare Project, a pro bono U.S. group that supports Jewish causes around the world. Khaled—who is a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine group, which the U.S. has labeled a terrorist organization—helped hijack an Israel-bound flight from Rome in 1969, and was scheduled to give a talk as part of an event hosted by the university’s Department of Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Studies on “Teaching Palestine.” When the talk was announced last month, Lawfare […]

Italian MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi is famous for his special helmet designs for his races, and his latest design has certainly attracted attention, with the lid carrying a familiar-looking blue pill paint job. The San Marino Grand Prix at the Misano circuit in Rimini is always a special occasion for the Italian, with the circuit the closest to his home town of Tavullia. And for each race in Rimini he brings out a fresh helmet design, especially for that weekend, which often carries a story about what’s happening in his career at that point. His helmet designs often feature a sun and […]
Earlier this month, US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was caught on camera without a protective mask while visiting a closed hair salon in San Francisco, California, amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, violating local restrictions. Commenting on the incident later, the lawmaker claimed that the whole thing was a “set up”. San Francisco salon owner Erica Kious has announced that she is closing her business after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit last week, according to Fox News. “I am actually done in San Francisco and closing my doors, unfortunately…I started to just get a ton of phone calls, text messages, emails, […]
While the city mayor said the fuss over Pelosi in a hair salon amid the pandemic should come to an end, beauty salon employees, who have been unable to work due to coronavirus-induced restrictions, have criticised the house speaker for her hypocrisy and demanded salons be opened so that they can return to work. Mayor of San Francisco London Breed has slammed Donald Trump, calling him a “terrorist” and a “dictator”, and praised House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for being at the forefront fighting against the US president. “We have a terrorist, we have a dictator who is running this country and Nancy […]
Mysterious rock-melting forces buried much deeper below the Earth’s crust than previously believed are the impetus for earthquakes along a notorious segment of the San Andreas fault in California, according to new research. Experts in earthquake physics took a bottom-up approach to figuring out the cause of tremors along the infamous continental fault that runs through the Golden State. Along a particularly troublesome section of the fault they found that excitations buried much deeper than where quakes are typically monitored were the cause of major instabilities that provoke earthquakes. “Most of California seismicity originates from the first 10 miles of the […]
Here is our analysis of what is an excellent video, for which we thank the San Leandro Police Department. The officer, failing to wait for backup, choose to “cowboy” the event. This is a piss poor cop but he is miles above police in the other shootings we have seen in recent years. The charges here are possibly a bit heavy depending on California’s sentencing on Murder 3. It is clear and should be to anyone seeing this that Taylor suffered from a psychiatric disorder. I also note that the police, after the shooting, made no attempt to render aid but […]

Federal agents claim that the scientist falsely stated in her visa application that she had no connections to China’s military despite being on active duty. The United States this year tightened up restrictions on student and research visas for Chinese nationals. US prosecutors believe that a Chinese researcher who is wanted on charges of visa fraud is hiding out in China’s San Francisco consulate. According to a filing in the US District Court in San Francisco, the researcher, Juan Tang, was working at the University of California Davis under a J-1 visa, which is given to visiting researchers. The FBI maintains […]

San Francisco Supervisor Shamann Walton is outraged at white women calling the police on minorities. His creatively named CAREN Act would put an end to this, but conservatives claim it’s just more discrimination. Walton introduced the Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies (CAREN) Act on Tuesday. Its name is a nod to ‘Karen’, which has become internet slang for a white woman who demeans store assistants, demands to speak to the manager, or, crucially here, feels unduly threatened by minorities. Racist 911 calls are unacceptable that’s why I’m introducing the CAREN Act at today’s SF Board of Supervisors meeting. This is the […]
By Dan Morain, KHN The old men live in cramped spaces and breathe the same ventilated air. Many are frail, laboring with heart disease, liver and prostate cancer, tuberculosis, dementia. And now, with the coronavirus advancing through their ranks, they are falling one after the next. This is not a nursing home, not in any traditional sense. It is California’s death row at San Quentin State Prison, north of San Francisco. Its 670 residents are serial killers, child murderers, men who killed for money and drugs, or shot their victims as part of their wasted gangster lives. Some have been there […]
Long before master sommeliers were pop culture icons and the subject of TV series, Tonya Pitts was building wine programs with a sense of place and purpose.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed has announced a bevy of police reforms, barring officers from using tear gas and “military-grade weapons” while working to divert non-urgent calls to agencies besides law enforcement.
