EDITORIAL: Has CA learned anything from the rise of Trump? We can’t even pass common-sense housing bills, & Dem lawmakers are fighting over whether to require kids learn evidence-based reading skills. Folks, we trail Mississippi & Alabama in early literacy.sfchronicle.com/opinion/edit…

The science is abundantly clear: Mifepristone is overwhelmingly safe and effective, whether provided in-clinic, via telehealth, or in a local pharmacy.
Any attempts to roll back access have nothing to do with safety. This is about limiting abortion access. [🧵]

This is beyond appalling.
A disgusting scene on the eve of October 7:
Activists wave Hamas flags & vandalize @welcometomannys, a civic-gathering space owned by a Mizrahi Jew who was in Israel when Hamas killed 1200+ civilians.
All part of today's protest marking one year since the attacks.
