Closing the SF consulate is actually a pretty big deal — there is a MASSIVE Russian national community in SF & the peninsula, as well as in Sacramento.

they organize under the umbrella Berkeley AntiFa and Oakland AntiFa. Regardless, the antifa is a coalition of people united with a particular goal and tactic in mind. There’s a long history that stems from Europe post-WW2. Read about it.

The same group was marching through the street chanting, “somos todos antifascistas” and also using black bloc tactics. Locally, they are the same group.

the Berkeley/Oakland area has been dealing with them for years, but especially in the past 18 months.

Things were fine for the first 3 hours, with thousands marching and chanting and listening to speeches. Then about 100 antifa showed up dressed in black. At first they were marching & chanting, and then they led the masses in taking back MLK park/civic center. And theeeeen they decided they wanted to get in a…

I know some people who plan to do at least one leg. I don’t know how they’re gonna do the distance though — I marched and chased nazis in San Francisco today and did about 5 miles on foot and my feet hurt :(

This is just bad.

eh, the reality is that you cannot use defamation/libel/slander laws to sue someone for making a statement that is a matter of opinion. “You are racist” is a matter of opinion. However, if someone posted, “You are racist — you said X” and the X were a really racist statement that the person did not make, then you can…

we’re all gonna die.

sure, maybe it gave him some empathy.

To be fair, the weddings going on right now were probably planned 1-2 years ago.

Tenant-side housing attorney here (pro bono for a number of years now a fed). I can’t even with people. Read your damn lease, follow what it says, pay your rent, and don’t be an asshole to the manager and neighbors. It isn’t that hard.

I will vote for a Tim Kaine-esque “I don’t believe in it personally but I think it should be legal, safe and ya’ll should make your own choice” Dem. I will not vote for an anti-choice Dem. I will not give my money to an anti-choice Dem. I will not give my money to a DCCC that supports anti-choice Dems.

I’m 32 and my mom is your mom’s age. I have been about 350 miles from them for 6 years, and I go for Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, and usually around the winter holidays (mostly because for the last 3 years I have had 10 days in a row off, but with my new job I doubt I will make it down—we’re Jewish so Christmas is not…

that’s when you respond, “you can’t expect me to know which name you want to be called on any given day. wear a name tag. write an e-mail. post a sign. or just pick a name.”

I love the top. It is sold out :(

This is insane. They know this is going to happen. Set up a few tents with beds and equipment and lots of fans, and send the kids there to triage. If their vitals are fine, give them some water and a bedpan and call their parents. If they need an IV or more attention, send them off to the ED. There is absolutely no…

Basically this, which is why I made the distinction between Hispanic and Latin@, and said “I suppose” about her being Latina. I find a lot of South Americans do not consider themselves Latin@ (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, especially), but it seems to be embraced by Mexicans and Central Americans.
