1626260060187037696 | Who’s in? No taxation without representation SF. We need massive change now. Retweet for thousands to join this revolution @sfstandard @sfchronicle @sfexaminer @TheMarinaTimes https://t.co/9S9i8fDRTU | 22 |
1624148302890688512 | After 4½ amazing years as executive editor of @mydesert and California Editor for the USA Today Network, I’m excited to be taking on a new role as editor-in-chief of the @sfstandard in mid-March. | 19 |
1623744311132323841 | Cancer has plagued the San Francisco Fire Department for years. Now, the results of a recent cancer screening event are in: They indicate that more firefighters may have the deadly disease. My latest for @sfstandard ⬇️ https://t.co/Jwsde2tfFD | 11 |
1626005121934188544 | The tragedy of #fentanyl extends beyond the homeless. In fact, (and I've been saying this) overdose deaths happen indoors as opposed to the streets by almost a 70/30 ratio. Fentanyl changed the game. @sfstandard #SanFrancisco https://t.co/YN1JTEAihL | 9 |
1625268315722743808 | From the @sfstandard: If #SB434 passes through the state legislature, California transit agencies will have to track hate on public transit. "A lot of people don’t feel safe," said @sharonlaiishere, "but we don’t have the data. [to make transit safer].” https://t.co/UO7xaBL6i1 https://t.co/YJ8AhExdml | 9 |
1626355421501091841 | An incredibly moving story by my colleague @lihanlihan about families in Chinatown living in SROs—a single room for as many as six family members—that wrenches the heart. @sfstandard #sfstandard #chinatown #sanfrancisco https://t.co/SBIbpeX8QB | 9 |
1626312329922244608 | Do you need @UrbanAlchemyUA services right now? You try to call them AS IS ADVERTISED on their website, but phone is not in service. Like NEVER!!!! Such a shady company. @LondonBreed @FBISanFrancisco @sfchronicle @EricaJSandberg @TheMarinaTimes @bettersoma @sfstandard https://t.co/mE6mK32Zn2 | 8 |
1624244301147561985 | @sfstandard Can we stop blaming this on the pandemic? Other cities are not experiencing this problem. Demand for office space in the Peninsula remains much stronger. San Francisco’s problems are direct effects of downtown being turned into a shanty town for vagrant drug addicts. | 8 |

1625545051668619264 | KPOO 89.5 is an SF institution, one that's been around since the early 70s. It's the oldest Black-owned radio station still in operation on the West Coast and the first to broadcast hip hop in SF. I recently got a chance to make a video about them for @sfstandard. https://t.co/0ZtwsgMyzq | 7 |

1623833725774733312 | @sfstandard @LondonBreed Let’s stop making excuses: Downtown is destroy because prodrug and procrime policies, not remote work. Make the city clean and safe and tourists and businesses will come : | 85 |
1623801732089405440 | @sfstandard @LondonBreed Really? We are using the rubble post-catastrophic earthquake as a comparison here and saying, 'it's ok'. 🧐☹️ | 67 |
1625677176145342469 | @sfstandard @mattdorsey Reducing organized drug dealing on the streets is harm reduction and will save lives. Period. | 65 |

1623794994044874752 | @sfstandard @LondonBreed What? She compared downtown of today to that after the 1906 earthquake? She’s comparing her policies to a once in a century natural disaster? Well, at least she is honest. | 61 |
1625288046060142593 | @sfstandard @BrookeJenkinsSF We're not a sanctuary for pedophiles and child rapists. Time to punish them as harshly as possible. | 60 |
1623809256704073729 | @sfstandard @LondonBreed Did Breed mention the fact that Downtown #SanFrancisco is home to one of the largest homeless populations and panhandlers? My friends living in SF refuse to go there because it has become disgusting. That hurts businesses still operating there. | 52 |
1623804211069878274 | @sfstandard @LondonBreed Its not ok ! Willey Brown never let this city down the way you have, Arrest drug dealers ! Most beautiful city in the world and it's turning into a sesspool | 52 |
