While the genocide in Gaza and Israel\u2019s ethnic cleansing campaigns continue with the unwavering support of the US government, SF DA Jenkins brings Trump\u2019s assault on dissent to San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe jury hung on felony conspiracy and misdemeanor trespass, but Jenkins has refused to drop these charges, pushing this case toward a second costly trial funded by San Francisco\u2019s tax payer dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe\u2019d also like to invite you to support a fundraiser for the seven felony defendants of the GG26 who continue to incur expenses while being away from work due to the demands of this ongoing prosecution.

The only violence on the bridge was when a motorist twice attacked protesters, nearly throwing one into a metal railing. He was moved back to his car by protesters using nonviolent, de-escalation techniques. The officer on the scene ordered him to stay in his car and away from the protesters. He was the only motorist ordered to stay in his car, the others were all moving around, going to the bathroom, talking to each other, accepting snacks and water from the protesters, and making calls. No one called 911 saying they were being falsely imprisoned. One motorist helped 180 cars turn around and go backwards off the bridge, before handing the job off to another motorist and driving away himself. CHP stood around and watched but didn\u2019t help<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are more sketches by Laurie Moorhead and testimonies of all 7 defendants at the instagram site below<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor more info about the Golden Gate 26 \u2013check out the Instagram page at: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gg26solidarity\/?hl=en\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gg26solidarity\/?hl=en<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n2.

On every image: the child’s name, age, date of death, and the words “WAS AND IS NO MORE.” Their stillness is heavy, pressing against the rhythm of ordinary life. Some passersby look away; others respond with denial, sorrow, or rage. Yet week after week, new names are added, new photographs are printed and lifted high. And each week, more people step forward to join this quiet act of protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor more information:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tickettailor.com\/events\/sfbayareafriendsofstandingtogether\/2330765\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.tickettailor.com\/events\/sfbaya…<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Info <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2026\/08\/10\/18887904.php\">Film Screening and Discussion: Children No More: Were and are Gone : Indybay<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\nMonday, August 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

FROM FIRSTSHOWING.net (by Alex Billington, July 15, 2026): QUOTE: “American Doctor follows three American physicians – Palestinian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian – united by a single oath to save lives. After volunteering in besieged hospitals in Gaza, they return home determined to fight for the patients and colleagues they left behind. Dr. Thaer Ahmad is measured and strategic, Dr. Mark Perlmutter is blunt and wears his heart on his sleeve, and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is media-savvy and prolific. Filmed in unfolding, on-the-ground scenes, the story follows the three of them from a Gazan hospital under siege, to the halls of Congress to continue the struggle where it matters most: the United States. American Doctor is directed by doc producer \/ filmmaker Poh Si Teng, directing her first feature film after producing many other docs including St. Louis Superman previously. Produced by Poh Si Teng, Kirstine Barfod, and Reem Haddad. This initially premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and it also played at True\/False, SXSW, and CPH:DOX. Watermelon Pictures debuts American Doctor doc in select US + Canadian theaters starting August 14th, 2026 coming up this summer.” For the full page & complete article, go to\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.firstshowing.net\/2026\/official-trailer-for-powerful-doc-american-doctor-about-saving-lives\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.firstshowing.net\/2026\/official-trailer-for-powerful-doc-american-doctor-about-saving-lives\/<\/a> Info:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2026\/08\/18\/18888078.php\" target=\"_blank\">“American Doctors”: Gaza Genocide Frontline Hospitals Film & Panel w\/ Filmmaker & Doctors : Indybay<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\nTuesday, August 25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n7.

Goodlett Pl\u00a0 (4th<\/sup>\u00a0Floor) SF<\/p>\n\n\n\nCome out the SF Airport Commission meeting to tell SFO to stand up to ICE:<\/p>\n\n\n\nven for domestic flights, airlines send reservation data to the TSA, which passes it on to ICE. Travelers are being targeted and abducted by ICE at check-in counters, gates, jetbridges, and baggage claim areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe City and County of San Francisco owns and operates SFO. But the Airport Commission has ignored our \u201csanctuary city\u201d ordinance and capitulated prematurely to untested DHS claims of unlimited power.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOr email \u201cAirportCommissionSecretary@flysfo.com\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis Mobilize listing will help you write your email. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilize.us\/indivisiblesf\/event\/1012221\/?fbclid=IwcGRvZgFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFaTWFObmd1VWFnYUFHZXBic3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHilJwnTAa6lFpyt2HypSyrTIEnskoEYaulsSlTuYKFhIcpTLQl-zSi1-bhsU_aem_NMXHpkkCxcAV4EPrOtA4FQ\">https:\/\/www.mobilize.us\/indivisiblesf\/event\/1012221\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nMore info & talking points. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/papersplease.org\/wp\/2026\/07\/31\/can-sfo-rein-in-the-feds\/?fbclid=IwcGRvZgFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFaTWFObmd1VWFnYUFHZXBic3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHilJwnTAa6lFpyt2HypSyrTIEnskoEYaulsSlTuYKFhIcpTLQl-zSi1-bhsU_aem_NMXHpkkCxcAV4EPrOtA4FQ\">https:\/\/papersplease.org\/…\/07\/31\/can-sfo-rein-in-the-feds\/<\/strong><\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\nInfo: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo?fbid=1370813891901838&set=a.238898391760066\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Adrienne Fong Not back posting on a regular basis.
