I'm surprised so many followers support Scott Wiener. I must not be talking enough about how he opposed a Gaza ceasefire resolution:
https://sfstandard.com/2023/12/06/watch-emotional-israel-hamas-resolution-san-francisco-supervisors/

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 Do you share my perception that Saikat is doing a lot more outreach than Chan? Canvassers at farmers markets and going door to door for example. I saw a Saikat placard on the door of a bakery in Chinatown...

@nodename I could believe it. Saikat’s signs and canvassers are more visible in the Mission for sure.
