    HAPPENING TONIGHT: I’m here at Powell and Market Streets where hundreds have gathered to march in support of Palestinians in Gaza. The crowd seems like it’s going to start moving soon. Several speakers have called on Prez Biden, who is attending APEC in SF, to demand a ceasefire.

    I’m still heartbroken over the loss of my friend and brother, Brandon, who inspired so many people with not only his work ethic but his kindness and character. He’s a legend in my book. ⁦@SamWhitingSF⁩ remembers him for ⁦@sfchronicle⁩.
