Heavy, amethyst-colored clouds obscure some of the coral and rose-gold colors in the sunset, glimpses of which can be seen beyond the clouds. In the foreground is an urban neighborhood landscape, with silhouetted redwood trees off to the left. CC BY-SA 4.0 Kate Zimmerman.

Photograph of the Golden Gate Bridge from Belvedere Island

It’s a very grey day and there’s almost no colour in the scene, though bright patches of sunlight sear the water to the left — Photograph of the Golden Gate Bridge from Belvedere Island It’s a very grey day and there’s almost no colour in the scene, though bright patches of sunlight sear the water to the left

Fog hug! 🤗

I went to my local hardware store to pick up 5 gallon buckets – and also came home with this ornament.

Today in Labor History November 27, 1978: Former cop and city supervisor Dan White assassinated San Francisco’s mayor George Moscone and openly gay city supervisor Harvey Milk. White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, rather than first-degree murder, and only served five years in prison, based on the defense that he suffered diminished capacity due to depression, manifested in his switch from healthy foods to Twinkies and other junk foods.

This travesty of justice led to the White Night Riot, after decades of police harassment and physical abuse of San Francisco’s LGBTQ community. During the protests, people attacked the windows of City Hall and set at least a dozen cop cars on fire. When the cops tried to defend City Hall, protesters hurled rocks and bottles at them, forcing them to run inside. Protesters also busted windows in the financial district and in other government buildings. The riot caused hundreds of thousands of dollar’s-worth of property damage. And when the riot was finally subdued, the cops made a retaliatory raid on the Elephant Bar, in the Castro District, where they beat patrons and arrested 24.

The double assassination of Moscone and Milk dramatically altered the political landscape of San Francisco. Under Moscone and Milk, the city had been moving in a progressive, pro-neighborhood direction. With the new mayor, Diane Feinstein, city politics returned to the traditional, conservative, pro-Chamber of Commerce, law and order framework that preceded Moscone and Milk. And Feinstein parlayed her success as SF mayor into a long and sordid career in Congress, where she was a strong proponent of Capital Punishment, vitriolic opponent of the Green New Deal, supporter of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, and generally supported U.S. imperialist policy abroad.
