Covering The City, without fear or favor
- EDITORIAL: We appeal to @Pontifex to send a clear message that he, not Archbishop Cordileone, is the leader of the faith. He can do this by relieving this insubordinate saboteur of his duties in San Francisco and putting an end to his political schemes.
- San Francisco’s first-ever Office of Reparations is among the programs gutted by Mayor London Breed’s budget cuts.
- It’s hardly news at this point, but San Francisco voters will almost certainly oust District Attorney Chesa Boudin next week.
- OPINION: Recalls are supposed to be for exceptional circumstances, not for when the losing side wants a do-over. They shouldn’t be used to unseat a DA who's doing what he said he'd do — especially when the campaign's based on fear and misinformation.
- EDITORIAL: Facing a pandemic, declining enrollment and a budget deficit, school board commissioners embarked on a crusade to strip the rename schools. Ignoring the basics of the job, they put political grandstanding ahead of children.
- A San Francisco police officer took a knee with George Floyd protesters during a massive demonstration in the Mission District. The next day, his supervisors sent him home early for insubordination. via @mdbarba sfex.news/3h5mIUn
- Metallica, SF Symphony sound great at big Chase Center opening sfex.news/2kxxES5
- BREAKING: Preliminary results show San Franciscans have voted to recall DA Chesa Boudin, 61% to 38%. Story to come.
- Replying to @sfexaminerThat concludes today’s live coverage of the @warriors parade since my (@michaelada_) phone is about to die! Thanks for following along #DubNation
- EDITORIAL: Now that San Franciscans no longer have to worry about cars on JFK Drive, when will they be able to walk through United Nations Plaza without finding themselves in the middle of a haphazard drug bazaar?
- EDITORIAL: The recall campaign’s case against DA @chesaboudin tends to be light on facts but heavy on anecdote, emotion and accusations that usually prove untrue. But timing is everything, and he's become a scapegoat for rising public anxiety in The City.
- OPINION: Recalling Chesa Boudin wouldn’t solve our problems. Drugs, robbery and crime will continue to sully our wonderful bastion of extreme economic inequality, as always. We’ll just need someone else to blame.
- OPINION: Boston seems to understand a core fact that appears lost on our civic leaders. If you're going to be a world-class city that competes withParis and Rome for tourist dollars, you can't let your downtown core be an open air drug market.
