I'm surprised so many followers support Scott Wiener. I must not be talking enough about how he opposed a Gaza ceasefire resolution:

Co-authored #AB715, which conflates criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism and censors it in schools:

And hounded an Asian-American UCSF doctor out of her job for expressing concern for Palestinian students:

Disqualifying.

Watch: Emotional moments from Board of Supervisors meeting on Israel-Hamas ceasefire resolution

A resolution calling for a ‘sustained cease-fire’ in the Israel-Hamas war and the release of hostages in Gaza was introduced Tuesday, drawing hundreds of demonstrators.

@scott It’s gonna be a ranked choice ballot right?

@janxdevil No, elections for Congress in California are not ranked choice. They use the "top two" system where the two highest vote getters in the primary go on to the general even if they are the same party. It is therefore almost certain that two Democrats will go on to the general in San Francisco, in this case probably Wiener and one of Chakrabarti or Chan.
