Post from Democratic Party stating that under Lurie the Homicide rate is lowest in 70 years

Check this out. Here’s a post from the official Democratic Party Facebook account today claiming homicides are down in SF thanks to conservative Democrat Mayor Lurie.

In fact, City data shows 16 homicides so far this year, compared to 5 this time last year. More than triple.

SF backs away from harm reduction and Housing First - 48 hills Plus: Fighting back against budget cuts to job training, affordability, and public health. That's The Agenda for April 19-26.

“Never mind the evidence, though: San Francisco, after several decades, is moving to abandon harm reduction as a principle in its substance use policy.”

The Dorsey/Wong/Mahmood pro-eviction legislation heads to committee hearing.

SF County fatal drug overdoses rank 2nd highest in the country, CDC data shows In 2025, San Francisco's fatal drug overdose numbers surpassed every other county in the country but one: Baltimore. We spoke with advocates and city leaders about the plan to tackle this crisis.

Scary legislation in Louisiana. This is where SF is headed on our current path.

Our city must change course. Invest in helping people instead of punishing them for being poor.

$3 million for the city from this one transaction thanks to the transfer tax I wrote, @dsasf.org championed, and SF voters passed. This is why billionaires attack socialists and why billionaire-backed politicians want to eliminate the transfer tax.

Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about "fear" of the Trump Administration, but doesn't mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn't! I don't want a Pope who thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don't want a Pope who thinks it's terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don't want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I'm doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn't on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn't in the White House, Leo wouldn't be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo's Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It's hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it's hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

How San Francisco is licking crime — and offering hope forAmerica Unlike some of the city’s other adventures, this one is actually working out.

This NYPost piece shows the Republican & conservative Dem propaganda machine in overdrive.

The real story? Police had a less than 1% clearance rate and departments didn’t collaborate to address car break ins. Our socialist office exposed this, held oversight hearings, and car breaks ins plummeted.

San Francisco shuttering shelter sites as mayor appoints new homelessness chief Kenny Choi reports on San Francisco's latest move in addressing homelessness.

SF’s “latest move in addressing homelessness” is to shut down centrally located shelters.

The billionaires cannot stand the idea of private/semi-private hotel rooms being used to house poor people. So they are closing existing shelters and aggressively banning new shelters and supportive housing.

Capitalist v socialist leadership:

SF has a mayor who is laying off public workers and privatizing city jobs, while NY’s mayor — a democratic socialist who believes government can be a force for good — is celebrating public employees and helping them deliver more for city residents.
