@SteveAdami @CeddieHussle @DanielLurie @kunalmodi @mattdorsey @bigcregg @Gina_McDee @Twolfrecovery Yes public safety but let's deal with the problem not the symptom open air drug dealing and use if this was crack cocaine it would be getting addressed

@CeddieHussle @DanielLurie @kunalmodi @mattdorsey @bigcregg @Gina_McDee @Twolfrecovery SFGOV has 35K FTEs, an annual budget of $16b, spends $1.7b on health and housing services - and the streets are a disaster. D6 is the home to public drug use, drug dealing, & crime. This is what happens when you normailze open air drug markets. Public Safety 1st!

10/4/2025: San Francisco’s Drug, Homeless, & Violence crisis is spiraling out of control! Just this morning a drug dealer shot a person in front of a rehab. End open air drug markets NOW! Public Safety 1st!

@CeddieHussle @DanielLurie @kunalmodi @mattdorsey @SteveAdami @bigcregg @Gina_McDee @Twolfrecovery That's right front line workers take all the risk with none of the reward 😠

@war24182236 Good stuff

Last night ABC7 Bay Area News lyanne Melendez did a segment concerning the Residents and Business’s Lawsuit on the City concerning street conditions and with the drug activity in Tenderloin, they also talked about people from the department of public health, taking the fifth amendment. A few of my harm reduction videos were also used in this broadcast. @LyanneMelendez

@SteveAdami @Gina_McDee @dmpletsch @Twolfrecovery @CeddieHussle @bigcregg We can’t have it both ways clean up the streets or continue in chaos stand on business and make change and save lives

San Francisco will never fully recover until we enforce the law. What’s often called a ‘homeless crisis’ is, at its core, a public safety and drug crisis. Just look at how we welcome visitors arriving at Caltrain—this is the first impression of our city.

@kunalmodi Good stuff but how need action plan

Common question I hear: Why has it proven hard to police open air drug use in SF or involuntarily detain someone for treatment who is clearly having a mental health crisis in a public space, presenting a danger to themselves and others? Part of the answer lies in an unstated tradeoff our short staffed officers on foot patrol weigh between the expected value result of an arrest / involuntary hold vs their ability to stay on foot patrol for their shift. Below is a rough process map with time estimates based on conversations with an officer. Too often, the result is a process that eats up 6-8+ hours of officer time (potentially a whole shift) before the individual is back on the street. If we want different results, we need to make improvements to the process: (1) triage upfront so officers can make the arrest / hold, handoff to a crisis response team for the rest of the process, while they get back to patrol (2) stand up 24/7 police friendly drop off crisis stabilization centers to prevent overcrowding our emergency departments and getting more people into a recovery pathway (3) expand our inventory of dual diagnosis, psychiatric emergency, and locked subacute treatment beds to properly serve our most challenging cases who tend to repeatedly cycle between the streets and 5150/5250 holds

@SteveAdami @CeddieHussle @bigcregg @TheWayOutSF @Twolfrecovery @Gina_McDee @kunalmodi @DanielLurie @vicwestbrook @dmpletsch We have to keep our city accountable

“People come to San Francisco’s open air drug scene b/c you won’t get arrested.” Cedric Akbar @CeddieHussle is a community leader advocating for accountability & recovery. Watch the full story: Tinyurl.com/CedricCI

@BrookeJenkinsSF Good stuff

1/ Since the passage of Prop 36 my office has been working to implement the will of the people and filed dozens of cases using the new tools available to us to make our city safer and hold those who habitually break our laws accountable.

@GrowSF @DanielLurie No days off in recovery

Thank you to the recovery community for coming together on the steps of City Hall this morning to support Mayor @DanielLurie's Fentanyl State of Emergency Ordinance. This is a call to action, and San Franciscans demand action.

@SteveAdami What we doing in SF today is not passionate care

Housing 1st/Harm Reduction: While these policies aim to address homelessness/addiction, they fail to provide long-term solutions. Without accountability, treatment, & recovery, these approaches risk enabling the very cycles they seek to break. Recovery1st! changewashington.org/seattle-and-ki…

@SteveAdami @MattHaneySF @AsmChrisWard @mattdorsey @LondonBreed @CeddieHussle @bigcregg @Twolfrecovery Nice stuffed

AB 2893: The Supportive Recovery Residence Program is a common sense solution to support the housing needs of people in recovery. Thank you @MattHaneySF @AsmChrisWard for supporting the recovery community!

@MarkFarrellSF So this how we do when a African American female gets disrespected mayor or not

Hate like this has no place in San Francisco. We must all condemn and stand united against this racist and sexist behavior.

@sfstandard This is the approach we need to be looking at change is coming

Supporters of Proposition F argue that the mayor's addiction plan is compassionate, not punitive as critics claim sfstandard.com/opinion/2024/0…

@SteveAdami @CeddieHussle I agree we need our community Tobe accountable for their lives

Prop F: @CeddieHussle and I felt it was critical to set the record straight about Prop F. Offering opportunity & accountability is the framework for success, and will help people struggling with addiction get their lives together! sfstandard.com/opinion/2024/0…

@Shorttyshorttt @SteveAdami @EricaJSandberg @christinevans @noahsloss @KQED About the 4 decades still. Not as many ODs in programs as it is now we not going to talk about SRO s

@SteveAdami @EricaJSandberg @christinevans @noahsloss @KQED & you wonder why the city won’t fund you. Evidence supports the opposite approach. I know u think it’s just ideological, but u had your chance (4 decades) to show results & that’s exactly how we got to the Housing 1st model Steve. A catchy riff on a a phrase will not change that

this encapsulates why I don't believe in censorship. the more they talk, the more you know how bonkers they are. keep it up @Shorttyshorttt @christinevans @noahsloss Kevin L. Jones @KQED!

@SteveAdami @CeddieHussle @Twolfrecovery @bigcregg @UP4LIFE @CampaignCedric @SisterWomen @Gina_McDee @LondonBreed @mattdorsey @Stefani4CA That’s right

It's official & a great day for the future of San Francisco! Congratulations to my friend @CeddieHussle - a newly elected member of the SF Democratic County Central Committee! NEXT STOP - DISTRICT 10 SUPERVISOR!!
