    The cheeseburger at the newly re-opened Big Four restaurant on Nob Hill in San Francisco... a San Francisco classic.

    Several times when shooting protests around the San Francisco Bay Area I’ve been threatened by Antifa. They’ve threatened to kick my ass, to destroy my camera. I typically keep my distance from these assholes but I’ve watched them beat other photographers and destroy other

    As someone who has photographed San Francisco extensively, over the past 30 years, literally walking thousands of miles of our city streets, I can validate what @elonmusk is saying here about the zombie apocalypse in San Francisco. Walking around Market Street, Mission Street,

    Thanks ALOT @GavinNewsom — trick me into buying an EV and then tell me that my bill will be cheaper if I only charge on non-peak hours while I’m sleeping with every light in my house off from midnight to 6am, and then screw me over with a $1,000 @PGE4Me bill.

    I wish there was a way that Trump could Newsomproof California. $1,000/month PG&E bills, highest state income taxes in the country, highest gas taxes in the country, the most homeless and drug addicts in the country destroying our great cities. For all the great weather and
