Scott Wiener was driven out of the Trans March on June 26, 2026, with several people blasting his stance on Israel and Palestine.

In late June, angry radicals — at least one of whom used antisemitic language — ejected Sen.

Scott Wiener from the Trans March at Dolores Park.

The damage to Wiener’s bid for congress appears to be zero.

Rather the opposite: Wiener’s congressional campaign transformed videos of people following and berating the stoic and forlorn state senator into a fundraising bonanza.

He went on a quick national press tour that included a TV spot on CNN , and sent out a fundraising text based on the encounter.

You can’t blame Team Wiener for capitalizing, though the pile-on did feel a bit like a soccer player rolling about on the pitch and clutching his knee.

The people who proactively exiled Wiener from the march only made him stronger.

More disturbingly, the behavior of a few sanctimonious loudmouths has, once again , been seized by bad-faith purveyors of misinformation — and curiously ham-fisted local politicians — and used to portray San Francisco as a hotbed of organized, political antisemitism.

And that’s a black eye for all of us.

It would have been more reasonable to allow Wiener, one of the politicians who has most strenuously rejected the siren call for Democratic politicians to toss trans people to the wolves in hopes of appeasing the Fox News crowd, to lope through the march unmolested.

According to Wiener, he’s put in an appearance at every Trans March for the past 22 years.

It certainly would’ve been more politically wise to simply give him the cold shoulder during Year 23.

Instead, Wiener was 86ed in an abusive and damaging public spectacle by a small group of radical marchers.

People are entitled to their beliefs, and it would be tautological to chide radicals for behaving radically.

They don’t call them reasonables for a reason.

But we also don’t need to pretend the limited group of individuals who pressured Wiener to leave represent more than a fringe element, no matter how viral their online clips.

It is unambiguously antisemitic for individuals to go on about a Jewish man’s “Israeli masters” or “Zionist handlers,” let alone purportedly remark on Wiener’s “ tainted bloodline ” (as allegedly happened in a separate incident when a critic spotted Wiener at the airport).

This is San Francisco and this is a problem.

But let’s not claim this is a San Francisco problem: Radical factions attempting to drive mainstream politicians from the Trans March is common.

Mayor Daniel Lurie was ejected from the march last year as were Mayor Ed Lee and Sen.

Mark Leno a decade ago.

Making mainstream politicians uncomfortable at the Trans March has, in recent years, been the only tangible achievement of the city’s extreme left.

Last month, San Franciscans voted in lockstep with the desires of Lurie, our dynastically wealthy Downtown-friendly mayor (who, like Wiener, is Jewish).

San Francisco residents just voted down a tax on billionaires.

In 2024, the year Lurie was elected mayor, 57 percent of voters in San Francisco — a city with a supermajority of renters — inveighed against a statewide measure to expand rent control.

We are living in a cartoon world right now, but we shouldn’t pretend we’re living in a cartoon San Francisco.

Angry militants may have the heckler’s veto in Dolores Park, but there is zero political constituency for radicalism in San Francisco — anti-Israel or otherwise.

Scott Wiener showed up to the trans march and for the first time we kicked his ass out.

It's sad because while he's written some good legislation for queers, hes ultimately a genocidal-supporting center right shill.

Trigger warning: broken man walking away defeated.

But you have to say one thing about a cartoon San Francisco: It’s a handy tool for powerful people who want to make sweeping changes to the city’s M.O.

The once and future sales pitch from the city’s ascendant moneyed interests is that decades of liberal misrule by San Francisco’s feckless Board of Supervisors have put the city behind the eight ball.

The fact that San Francisco has been led by a string of Downtown-friendly, pro-business, moderate mayors going back to Frank Jordan in 1992 — and is arguably under the control of its most Downtown-friendly mayor yet — is of no matter to these masters of the universe.

The fact that San Francisco’s strong-mayor system allows for the allocation of roughly 99.8 percent of the budget before the Board of Supervisors touches it is of no matter.

The fact that San Francisco was portrayed by local and national news outlets as Robocop’s Detroit while crime continues to fall to historic lows is of no matter.

The solutions to San Francisco’s problems, as proposed by the folks firmly in charge, is more centralization, more power for the mayor , more tax breaks for the wealthy , and more people going to jail.

Insofar as there’s any coherent opposition to this, it sure as hell isn’t a bunch of militants fulminating in the park.

When local radicals physically menace elected officials, shout bigoted slogans or deface Jewish-owned businesses , they deserve the condemnation they’ve received.

But we are veering into Toon Town to claim there’s any sort of organized constituency behind them.

It benefits this city’s powers-that-be to present a cadre of fringe figures as some kind of viable political movement and set themselves in opposition.

At this point, it’s practically political muscle memory.

It shouldn’t be: It’s a version of the same cynical game played by Ron DeSantis and other politicians who present a cartoon iteration of San Francisco as the exemplar of “Democrat-run city” ineptitude, to boost their own standing.

It’s also a dangerous game for those who want to stay in local politics for the long haul.

It should be lost on no one that the two 2024 mayoral candidates who chose to embrace the coarsely reductive Doom Loop rhetoric — London Breed and Mark Farrell — are firmly ensconced in the city’s political septic tank.

Voters, meanwhile, seem pleased as punch with Sunny Dan Lurie , whose political philosophy is “Let’s go, San Francisco!”

As mayor, I can never accept hate directed at a member of our community.

The language directed at Sen.

Wiener yesterday was targeted, hateful, and antisemitic.

In San Francisco, we welcome disagreement and respectful dialogue around issues many of us feel passionately about—but… https://t.co/FjGXJ9RcvY

The final problem with abrogating reality for a cartoon version of reality: Reality, for lack of a better word, is persistent.

As we’ve noted , after years of national and local stories focusing on the worst of the city, and an era of bruising, corrupt and creatively incompetent city hall politics, San Franciscans are happy to embrace political decorum and feel good about the place they live.

But there’s a sell-by date pending here: Governing is difficult and extends beyond political legerdemain, fundraising or hype videos.

Whatever they’re shouting about at Dolores Park, at some point the people with all the power in San Francisco are going to have to show what they’re actually doing to address the city’s actual problems.

Robin Williams, it turns out, was on to something all those years ago.

Regarding reality, he remarked “ what a concept!

Maybe Scott likes Israel because he is gay and you can live openly gay there.

You cannot live openly gay in Gaza.

votes.

Sign in to vote

you actually can’t live openly anything in Gaza right now because if you do the IDF will bomb you

Weiner really does have a loping walk lol.

Let him walk!

Good god.

The nerd just wants to build housing near transit and help queer people.

If he “just” wanted to build housing, he wouldn’t have co-authored AB715 to silence pro-Palestinian speech in California schools and universities.

If he “just” wanted to help queer people, he wouldn’t have protested against the SFBOS resolution urging a ceasefire in Gaza, falsely calling this antisemitic (it was passed by a supermajority, including 3 of 4 Jewish supervisors at the time).

If he “just” wanted to promote transit, he wouldn’t have used his platform as an elected official to bully UCSF professor Dr.

Rupa Marya out of her job for expressing concern for Palestinian students’ safety on campus.

And if he hadn’t done all of those things, and more, to help enable the genocide in Gaza and silence Israel’s critics, then we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

I think a lot of folks are skeptical about Scott’s true intentions.

After recognizing it’s a genocide Scott hasn’t taken much action to show empathy or solidarity with Palestinians.

I don’t think it would be very hard to wear a free Palestine pin, support local Palestinian businesses, visit local Palestinians who’ve lost family in Gaza (we do have a large Palestinian population in the Mission) or really anything to show genuine solidarity and concern.

I don’t feel very heard by Scott’s office and called them several times last year over concerns of how AB 715 is censoring Palestinian speech.

I also wore a Palestine jersey to his gallery showing in his office last year and all his aids stared at me for the duration of the event and Scott didn’t introduce himself to me either (which is fine since there were a fair amount of folks).

Again — I can’t “prove” Scott doesn’t care but is that really my job?

I think if he really wanted to he could show more vocal support for the Arab community but I think he doesn’t because it would alienate his donors.

I didn’t view those videos as radical.

I grew up in Marin viewing SF as a wealthy hippie paradise.

When I saw that fantasy dismantled the older I got, I became disillusioned, because that ideal, was what made San Francisco so magical.

With someone like Wiener, doing better than ever since he got cooked I feel scared at what San Francisco’s values truly are.

I truly don’t believe there is a leftist radical front in SF.

The PSL isn’t radical to me, and neither is the DSA.

The people who are claiming antisemitism at every slight to Israel feel radical to me.

With our whole country feeling under the foot of Israel’s control, I find singling out San Francisco to be another example of “the slow media day”.

I also feel triggered whenever I see people tote Scott Wiener as a staunch defender of trans people, because it is his job to defend all of his constituents.

It should be seen as basic, and it should be expected from all of our politicians.

If I could point to any Jewish politician who’s handling the political climate best, it would be Brad Lander.

I wish, Scott Wiener would take a note from his books, and apply that to our beautiful city.

First off, I was glad when I read the headline that says SF does not have an anti-semitic problem but then in the text of Joe Eskenazi’s article he paints the hecklers who drove Weiner out of the Trans-March as part of a left wing lunitic fringe by equating being anti-semitic with being anti-zionist, anti-Israli genocide against Palestinians.

That is unbecoming for Joe whom in the past I thought was a more thoughtful journalist and why I looked forward and supported the expansion of Mission news/now the Mission Local.

Scott Weiners problem is neither that’s he’s gay or Jewish.

He has long supported and in fact apologize for the worst abuses of Zionism and Israeli genocide against the occupants on the West Bank but the apartheid they also practice against Palestinian citizens in their Israeli cities in jobs, education, housing etc.

This is not a problem unique to Scott Weiner but the rest of the Democratic Party machine, of which San Francisco is just a small part.

I also feel that his hecklers showed some maturity in the Gay movement.

They like other discriminated and oppressed groups are more and more seeking common ground with others relegated to the margins under our profit motivated country and won’t allow their own days of celebration, which originated from days of rebellion be used.

That’s why politicians get heckled out of their marches.

As one Asian American gay man told me who no longer participates in the Pride March.

“How many free rainbow squeeze balls does one want, from Wells Fargo Bank”.

I hope next time Joe will interview the hecklers and at least put their reasons next to Scott Weiners handlers.

👆🏽is a really good take.

I’ve visited this article multiple times today and couldn’t quite articulate my issues with it.

The themes are trite and traffic in tropes.

I don’t recognize the Mission Local I’ve grown to deeply appreciate in this piece.

Joe, these are the same people that: rioted, tore down statues (including Grant), vandalized the commercial heart of The City, caused millions in property damage, engaged in violence with ANYONE that disagreed with them (including law enforcement), and are responsible for a multitude of other crimes in 2020.

Wiener encouraged this at the time; as did others like VP Harris.

This is not a “new thing”.

This is a feature of the left, not a bug.

And as always happens the monster turns on its creator.

The real crime is how Scott Wiener dresses. /s

Joe E-this is not your best work.

You are focussing on antisemitic comments about Weiner which was not what most of us saw or heard.

Then you go on a bit of a bender equating extremism with folks who speak up about the intersectionality of trans rights, anti zionism, and Wiener being a point man for big real estate…..so Lurie and Wiener are more “reasonable” while they displace the poor and vulnerable but never raise their voices?

I expect more from you Joe

Not just downplaying, but rather dismissing antisemitism in a time when it virulent and isn’t a good look for you JE.

In fact it’s shamefully antisemetic.

I would have expected more.

You used to be a well researched and established journalist.

Clearly long past that expiration date.

As another Ashkenazic American, I have no idea why this column. would be seen as “shamefully antisemetic.

The problem is that people who claim to be observant Jews (something hard to believe in since the Holocaust definitely proved that there is no God) support oppression by the military, government and illegal settlers including murder of women and children, destroying schools and hospitals, torture, rape and the theft of land and destruction of olive trees.

Crimes against civilians, perpetuated with both billions of US $ and weapons, are factually well documented.

I feel saying San Francisco doesn’t have an antisemitic problem is antisemitic and I am baffled why the reporter said it.

I have been feeling the antisemitism increase over the past 10 years.

There have been countless examples particularly within.

Liberal LGBT groups especially the l and the t.

“According to Wiener, he’s put in an appearance at every Trans March for the past 22 years.

It certainly would’ve been more politically wise to simply give him the cold shoulder during Year 23.”

An ounce of empathy would go a long way.

Know any trans people?

Defending your right to exist is now considered radical.

I get so tired of simplistic commentary that tries to make a complex nuanced issue seem obvious.

That’s actually what I like about a good JE column.

As a Jewish anti-zionist pro-Palestine democratic socialist myself, I think the greatest threat to Jews right now is Netanyahu and pro-apartheid genocidal zionists.

You can’t isolate the rise of anti-semitism worldwide from the actions of the Israeli government.

Maybe if they didn’t act like some blend of Nazis and Afrikaners, less people would hate on the Jews.

I hate that some people associate me, a Jew, with those people, just like I don’t want Europeans thinking I have any association with MAGA just cause my passport says USA.

Anyways, back to trans rights and San Francisco.

Trans people are well on their way to becoming, like Jews in Nazi Germany and Palestinians in Gaza, a persecuted minority.

They have every reason to feel fear and rage towards those who fail to protect them.

Admittedly, Weiner is not that person – he is the only politician ever to stick his neck out in the most limited way possible to reform homophobic, cruel and unusual sex offender registration laws.

I still don’t like the guy.

But I empathize with people who don’t want a right wing (“moderate”) politician using their event for a PR stunt / campaign visibility thing.

Not cool to harass anyone, not okay to use antisemitic language ever.

But that anger and distrust is real and it is legitimate.

But the reality is that San Francisco is no longer the progressive city I moved to over 20 years ago–it is a pro-corporate, pro-law enforcement, pro-tech, pro-Orwellian surveillance capitalist dreamscape for the rich.

To quote the late Rodney King, why can’t we all just get along?

I just wish people would focus on making San Francisco a place where we all feel safe, and I’m talking right now about poor people, immigrants, Black & Brown people and queer people.

Cause the right wing (I refuse to call them “moderate democrats”) governing elite is engaged in a massive wealth & power transfer upwards.

No different than the big ugly bill act in Washington D.C.

No… what we need in this town is our own Zohran Mamdani.

I never thought I’d ever be jealous of NYC, but here we go.

But I digress.

This comment is supposed to be about nuance and complexity and my appreciation for Joe’s columns, which always dive a little deeper, and my irritation as commenters who are like, but Joe, you sound like the Chronicle…

Mamdani is a fake socialist.

He has already made his peace with Donald Trump by visiting the White House twice and vowing to “work with” Trump.

All of DSA is phony.

They are not socialists.

They support capitalism and imperialism.

I do not support them.

I support the Socialist Equality Party.

Sorry but that’s a weak and insipid straw man argument, claiming “random and angry boors have been used to portray San Francisco as a hotbed of organized, political antisemitism”.

No one except political opportunists (which exist on all sides) generalize this way.

BUT the radical individuals who spew this garbage are largely given a pass, or indifference, by the liberal majority, because it aligns with their one sided criticism of Israel and by extension Jews who believe in the right of Israel’s existence.

This complicit silence fuels antisemitism, as we have plainly seen throughout most western countries, all over the USA, and yes even in San Francisco.

And your elaborate contortions to side step this reality is part of the contributing problem.

You’re on the wrong side of morality…welcome to Germany early 1930’s.

But you probably won’t publish this, because you’ve proven time again that you’re intolerant of certain centrist opinions.

Good luck to your journalism.

I guess you have not been reading the news.

A dingbat showed up and started yelling at Lurie, and the DSA, who were there opposing (rightfully) a tax cut handout, were framed in a Lurie press release.

Likewise, Gay Shame are maybe three people or so.

I don’t see more than one person yelling at him in the video!

The “you probably won’t print this…” is tiresome.

I’ve printed it and everyone can see what a well-balanced genius you are.

Good luck to your writing in the comment section.

Given that both main street parties are bought by Israel special interest groups, this is not surprising: https://www.trackaipac.com/candidates

The regular people have legal 1st amendment supported rights to call him out.

Who does he support, the people who voted for him or the special interest groups that are against the people?

> “You can’t blame Team Wiener for capitalizing, though the pile-on did feel a bit like a soccer player rolling about on the pitch and clutching his knee.”

You can blame Wiener for commodifying antisemitism.

It’s gross, and it is telling.

I do not think Wiener was disappointed that one of the hecklers broke out “Zionist handlers” and “Jewish masters.”

Quite the contrary, it allowed him to signal to Zionist donors and Zionist orgs that he is with them in the good fight.

It’s antisemitic language, but it’s also true Wiener is eager to align with pro-Israel factions where he can, and where it is politically and financially expedient.

> “People are entitled to their beliefs, and it would be tautological to chide radicals for behaving radically.”

This would be more believable if you hadn’t used “self-righteous loudmouth,” “random angry boors,” and “sanctimonious loudmouths” in other descriptions.

He was attending a march that he’s attended for more than 20 years, in his own neighborhood.

He didn’t plan for this to happen and the online kerfuffle was started by the assaulters.

Michael Corleone got shot at in his home, where his wife slept and his children played with their toys.

These are what we call occupational hazards.

I don’t wish Wiener any physical harm, but cry me a river over this garbage, I’m glad he got an earful.

“Sanctimonious” describes near everyone here.

Identity politics throws up some weird opinions and actions.

That is why Marxists do not support it.

Real socialists support social equality for everyone without dividing people into smaller and smaller groups all fighting each other.

The big capitalists laugh at this.

So don’t give them the satisfaction.

Realize who your real enemies are and go after them.

And I am talking about the capitalists and imperialists.

Please do a report on John Geary who wrecked a large Jewish cemetary to make Dolores Park ontop of it.

We need a mural or a statue as a memorial that it used to be a graveyard.

The fact that people at the trans rally didn’t stop the harrassment is why S.F. is a cartoonish land.

In other cities, the citizens don’t allow this kind of bullying.

In SF, for some reason the people here don’t intervene or condemn these things in real time.

How many high fives did these douche bags get at the rally when winter left vs how many folks told them they suck?

Guessing the former won out over the latter.

You fail to recognize this aspect of S.F.

this is a venn diagram with much overlap

Getting a bit tired of JE gleefully promoting the dubious polling that suggests Daniel Lurie is somehow wildly popular.

Joe never seems to mention in the same sentence or paragraph that Lurie spends millions on PR to try and influence these dubious polls, or that the cost of living in SF is skyrocketing under Lurie’s watch, or that his policy aims generally are to extract as much wealth as possible from SF and transfer it directly to tech and real estate investors.

Joe generally seems to celebrate every victory by the oligarchy in San Francisco, “were all living in Daniel Lurie’s world,” he celebrated on June 3rd.

One wonders if Joe simply approves of what SF is becoming under Lurie’s watch, or if this is just some lazy “build em up, tear em down,” long-game narrative to make the posts easier to write.

I feel like Joe see’s himself as some kind of clever ‘above the fray’ columnist ‘calling it like it is.’

I assume Joe is a fan of the late Howard Zinn, who famously said “you can’t be neutral on a moving train” as in, it’s literally impossible to not be apolitical.

ML’s editorial slant is looking very aligned with power lately.

I’m sure Joe realizes our country/world is in an existential struggle with oligarchic, techno-fascist, virulently anti-democratic forces, and that that struggle is playing out in San Francisco with many of these same players directly aligned with the Lurie administration.

With all of that in mind, Joe, aligned with power is NOT a thing you want to appear to be!

I have never, in 30+ years of journalism, seen anyone miss the point harder.

I had a teacher in high school who’d give you full credit if you managed to get a zero on a test.

As Bill Parker would’ve put it: Congratulations, Champ.

You get a zero.

Dismissing your unwarranted criticism of how Trans people express themselves… I think you’re just wrong that any of this helped Scott Weiner.

The whole episode made him look like a petulant, opportunistic pariah, and the people who came to his defense were mostly the worst people anyways.

For folks on the fence, Scott Weiner is embroiled in controversy where a bunch of oppressed people hate him, while his opponent is just out having a great day connecting with the community, or helping to save essential services from the austerity axe.

Hi!

trans person here.

First: I hate when cis people hold themselves up as speaking FOR me.

The guy who harangued Weiner is cis and straight.

I don’t want him at trans march!

He does not speak for me and he does not belong.

Second: if you are trans, sorry pal but we disagree.

If you are cis: you also need to STFU.

I like Joe and I don’t need cis people speaking on my behalf.

Joe, you have NO clue what it’s like to be part of the trans community and the harm being done by Scott Weiner’s support of capital, police, tech, real estate speculation, surveillance, zi**ism, etc.

Imagine saying the same thing about the Stonewall “rioters” not helping their cause.

Or civil rights demonstrators making life to “inconvenient” for people who might otherwise support them.

The editorial pages of ML are starting to look a little bit too much like the SF Standard, Chronicle, or worse.

I already know where to go for that kind of milquetoast liberal pearl clutching, I don’t need to read it here.

Hi!

Trans person here!

I just don’t agree with you and I do not want trans people to be portrayed as a monolith.

Don’t be so presumptuous and don’t be so ignorant about Joe.

This title and entire article seems very much like, “Our boy Weiner was horribly abused and you should all vote for him because everyone else is mean”.

Bestie, I completely agree.

What happened at the Park is a complex political &legal issue.

First, people have a first amendment right to verbally challenge any politician in the public place.

Second it becomes a question of political tactics whether that is a good thing to do.

That video obviously backfired on the protesters and is now being used by Scott to fundraise and get more support.

Third, anti-zionism is not anti-semitism.

Actually, the Palestinians are a Semitic people.

The term Semitic is a ethnic linguistic term, not a religious term.

Unfortunately zionists have expropriated the term to attack anybody who dares to criticize Israel for their blatant genocide.

Finally, some misguided people on the left engage in performative politics where they think that if they do something outrageous they are actually changing things, when in fact they are not.

The fact that the Trans community and LGBTQIA community in general seems to stand with these “loudmouths” and the vandals at the Trans March and the vandals at Stud Alley is the problem.

When the cops went to arrest the vandals at the Trans March a bunch of other folks in the march stepped in to interfere with them.

Has there been any substantial pushback against the antisocial behavior from community leaders?

I think that until that happens people will rightly think SF has a problem.

Politicians will put out statements because they have to.

Chan’s was remarkably weak and amounted to “I’ve dealt with it too, there’s no place for it.”

Show me the march and Pride organizers that are condemning the behavior.

Make me believe the organizers denounce Yak. and I’ll believe that SF doesn’t have a antisemitism problem.

But they don’t (do they?

I looked for reporting on that and didn’t see any).

Either because they agree with Yak. or because they are afraid their constituency does.

Hi!

Trans person here!

Why do you assume all trans people support this cis straight douchebag who was a jerk to Weiner?

Try not to lump people together!

Maybe consider if you’ve got some prejudice?

I politically align with you and yet you’re assuming trans people don’t.

What does that say about you?

I love your columns, Joe, and often agree with you, but I think you are downplaying the rise in anti-semitism in the City (and the Bay Area in general).

There may not be “any sort of organized constituency behind” it (though some of the statements from CAIR may disprove this belief), or you may try to limit it to a few sanctimonious loudmouths, but there have been Plenty of incidents over the past few years that you could have listed in this article that could easily lead one to think that we have a real problem here, and it isn’t limited to just a few morons at the Trans March.

Plenty of incidents?

Give some examples please.

San Francisco has been the target of right wing propaganda since the 60s.

Feels so retro.

By acting out some of the worst anti-semitic tropes, the only organized, well-funded purveyor of anti-semitism today, is the currently genocidal State of Israel under the barbaric Netanyahu, Ben Givir etc. with the full backing of Trump/Biden and billionaires like Bill Ackman and the morally repulsive Peter Thiel who last week claimed Pope Leo is an agent of the Chinese Communist Party, because he called for reasonable regulation of AI.

Since OP didn’t respond, let me point to the *repeated* vandalism at Manny’s and elsewhere.

Ask yourself why American Jews are blamed for the Israeli government when Chinese Americans are not blamed for the Chinese government.

I saw Chinese-Americans take a fair amount of heat for the Chinese government during COVID.

Odd to center cis people and a cis point of view on what happened at a trans event with “loudmouth” trans people.

The man who led the heckling of Wiener (initially for being a YIMBY, which no one mentions in these reports, and then switched to Gaza to get more people on board) is a cishet man.

Without the YIMBY angle this year’s unusual harassment of Scott Weiner puzzled me.

I thought the incident was due to Trans and Israeli issues.

Thank you for the clarification.

this piece seems to have absolutely no empathy or consideration at all for the trans people this march was for and about. i guess we’re all crazy radicals. very cool!

Hi trans person here!

I liked this piece and think you are wrong!

I think that trans organizers of the trans march messed up!

They should not be letting this straight cis douche bag represent trans people at the trans march!

They put a public statement out supporting him and I think that sucked.

It doesn’t help when a bunch of vandals were allowed to mix with the Trans March on Market the night before.

Great piece.

I agree Breed was hoisted by the petard of her doom loop rhetoric, but characterizing Lurie’s campaign as “sunny” belies the fact that the main thrust of his campaign was the “public safety” threat of giving her another term.

Not that sunny.

Thank you!
