Once upon a time, I was willing to toss my union jack and risk further butchering of my French 🇫🇷 surname to move to 'Gay Mecca' #SanFrancisco, #California. ☀️🌞

Thankfully, maman 🇫🇷 got me in touch with her ex-pat U.S flag burning friends who gave me the serious '411' abt the place. Needless to say, I changed my mind.

Maybe Craig David 🤮 (rightwing bellend) is happy in the States, but me? No thanx.

However, I took my new found knowledge of the former Gay Mecca and every now and then I learn even more stuff (#NerdReich invasion, the dissing of #ChesaBoudin, found out more shit all about #GreasyGavinNewsom (#CharlieKirk's fangirl), and about ... #ScottWiener, a zionazi, centrist (READ: right, droite, derecho) who does and votes in whatever way gives him an advantage.

(Btw, Scotty, the 'Vote for me bec I'm gay and from #SF doesn't work anymore! Plenty of terrible #rightwing LGBT leopard-food traitors exist worldwide. No one falls for identity anymore )

He's now gunning for corporate centre-right fossil #NancyPelosi's congressionl seat.

California, I'm aware you're not the 'escape to #queer boho utopia' you once were. But #JusticeDemocrats, progressive #DSA or whomever, can NOT let #CA continue to go down the road of #Macronie-esque centre-RIGHT bullshit.

@CA_Politics_Huddle if I remember correctly SF voters recalled #ChesaBoudin for a more tough-on-crime one…. Looks like the over charging of misdemeanors is one of the main effects

@LALegault @Cyrus

Lots of smart, ethical cops. Dumb and unethical Prosecutors exist too. In reality, the two work hand in hand in against the Defense.

The only time we’ve ever had a distinction was #ChesaBoudin and that ended before it was even allowed to begin.

This looks like a fascinating documentary about #ChesaBoudin, the reforming #SanFrancisco DA who was deposed in a right-wing recall campaign. Via @TheProgressive https://progressive.org/latest/on-the-brink-rampell-20240212/?mc_cid=cb466314b4&mc_eid=42caf3e016

Former San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin on the city’s ‘hard turn to the right’

Chesa Boudin was San Francisco’s top prosecutor for less than three years. In that short time he became a potent symbol of a movement to rethink crime and punishment’s promise —and its perils

Former San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin on the city’s ‘hard turn to the right’

POLITICO sat down with Boudin in Berkeley, where he leads a new University of California criminal justice center, to talk about lessons from his downfall and the broader outlook for the causes he championed.

Same nonsense as the far right's campaign against progressive #DA #ChesaBoudin in #SanFrancisco and far right campaigns against left and progressive school board members of colour

Remember when #SanFrancisco right-wingers told voters they had to recall #ChesaBoudin to get #crime under control? Well, violent crime is up 5.5% since his replacement took offfice. H/t @twrling

One year after recall, violent crime is up under DA Brooke Jenkins

Experts agree: DA has little impact on crime. But on the campaign trail, Brooke Jenkins placed blame squarely on predecessor Chesa Boudin.
