I wrote something about the great work of @akoseff and @SophiaBollag ‘Keep digging’: How the Chronicle broke the Eric Swalwell story sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

NEW: Appearing at a Southern California press conference, a woman alleges congressman Eric Swalwell drugged and raped her By @abauman2 and @SophiaBollag sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

During a meeting at a senior center in downtown Vacaville last month, according to attendees and video reviewed by the Chronicle, anti-Muslim activists handed out white sheets of paper comparing Islam to the Antichrist. An older white man sent a capacity crowd of roughly 300 people into an uproar when he proclaimed that a new mosque “is not going to happen here!” A middle-aged woman held up pages she’d printed out showing Google results for “Islamic terrorism.” They were all there because the Vacaville Islamic Center is outgrowing the small green house it has occupied at 133 Bush St. for 29 years. By seeking city approval for a self-funded $1.5 million expansion project that would increase their prayer space fivefold, mosque leaders unknowingly made themselves targets and exposed the city’s long-simmering racial tensions. 📸: Don Feria/For the S.F.
