The summer can be chilly in the San Francisco Bay Area. I aways turn to a soup for the evening supper. The easier soup to make is a creamy vegetable soup without using any cream. My favorite is a mixture of carrots, sweet potato and butternut squash. All three vegetables are available in their free form year-round in Northern California.
I believe Catherine Stefani’s column should more accurately have the title: “Standing Up For Corporate Healthcare Interests.” By working on incremental reform through the bills listed in her column, fundamental healthcare reform that is urgently needed is once again defeated. The profits of those who provide campaign contributions to the great majority of legislators in Sacramento are safe for another year.
District 4 voters deserve to know who is trying to buy influence in our neighborhood election. Recent reporting by Mission Local shows outside spending in our supervisorial race has reached unprecedented levels. This isn’t just about campaign advertising; it’s about a high-stakes clash of interests attempting to dictate the future of our community.
The upcoming June 2026 election in San Francisco’s District 4 is shaping up to be a definitive referendum on the neighborhood’s identity.

On May 16, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the District 1 Youth Council will host a Town Hall at the San Francsico Public Library, Richmond Branch open to all students in the Richmond District, creating a space where young people can speak honestly about their experiences and help shape what comes next.
This Memorial Day weekend, take a moment with your families to honor the memories of the men and women who gave up their lives in the service of our country.
On Judah Street, near the western edge of the city, mornings begin before sunrise. Surfers cross the dunes from Ocean Beach, dog walkers loop the block on their way home and the N-Judah arrives at the end of its line, releasing the last of its riders into the salt air.
The San Francisco we want to build is a city with vibrant communities, rich with culture and ripe with opportunities; where families can thrive and put down roots, businesses can open their doors and keep them open and seniors can age in place. However, all this depends on people feeling safe in their daily lives.
Trailblazing comedian Margaret Cho has always made sure her brazen stand-up material aligns with her feminist, politically progressive and all-inclusive views on sexuality. What is radically different about the 57-year-old San Francisco native is that her once chaotic, dangerous life has gradually evolved into that of a serene homebody, who surrounds herself with animal and plant life.
