Had a lot of fun hosting a @MLNow District 4 candidate forum last night @SFPublicLibrary. We talked about housing, transit, pedestrian safety and of course Sunset Dunes. Had some fun lightning round questions like "What is one thing you disagree with the mayor on?"

In just one week, the Mission co-op Project Artaud, was hit by seemingly the same thief 3 times. He stole a sculpture, paintings and prints from 5 artists. “It’s just odd,” said one artist. “But they knew what they were looking for.” by @junyao98

Had fun talking about data reporting in smaller newsrooms at @IRE_NICAR in Minneapolis. At @MLNow, sometimes that means going out and counting planters block by block! ICYMI: bit.ly/small-data-j Thanks @KateReports @myersjustinc and @CodyLillich for a great talk!

It was Alberto Vargas Quero's first day on the job at Modern Hair Cuts. He had just achieved the first step in his dream of eventually opening his own barbershop. He hoped to make enough money to buy his mother a house. From @miss_elenius

Alberto Vargas Quero arrived in San Francisco on a Wednesday. By Friday he'd been gunned down in broad daylight. From @miss_elenius missionlocal.org/2024/04/albert…

Workers started working at Milk SF thinking they could finally be in “a safe space” free from harassment and hostility common in the food industry. They were disappointed. Read the story behind the closure of the queer-owned community cafe @MLNow
