San Francisco ENABLES drug addiction. Soft permisive policies and government coddling combined with billions of dollars wasted on non-profits and NGOs (AKA the fentanyl industrial complex) create San Francisco’s drug tourism problem where people come here from all over the country, become trapped, and do drugs until they overdose and die. “San Francisco values” justify this through some twisted version of “compassion” which says if only we had better treatment options (treatment that 99% of addicts won’t voluntarily accept) or if only our bad judges and state laws were better, somehow this would all go away. The truth is, the only way we can fix San Francisco is by demanding, insisting upon and most importantly enforcing both the law and abstinence. Addicts do not belong out on the streets using in our city core. Downtown is most certainly NOT for drug addicts as their “activist” signs demand. Drug addicts belong in a tent processing center down on the land inside of the walls of the San Bruno jail until they can either be sent home, or sent to larger locked mandatory medically supervised tent facilities out in the dessert to be treated until they can make the better choice to finally stop doing drugs. I hope you can convince the President of this when you meet him @war24182236 — giving our addicts a voluntary 25 lazy boy “reset” center to come down from their high, just to go out and get high again a few hours later isn’t going to work. Before @realDonaldTrump was elected, he himself advocated for these tent facilities out away from our city core. Mayor @DanielLurie is spending millions of dollars on PR and trying to fool everyone with his Instagram videos while he himself and his bodyguards get in literal fights with the lunatic addicts themselves because he won’t admit that his “sanctuary city” policy of letting the addicts and the Hondos rule our city streets is bad policy. Bring in the National Guard to San Francisco and let’s do what our weak mayor and @sfbos won’t do. Let’s finally clean up San Francisco once and for all. President Trump cleaned up Washington DC. When you meet him JJ, let him know he can clean up San Francisco too.

@dd_Angus True. Make it inhospitable to be an addict in San Francisco and 90% of them will leave on their own.

@thomashawk All they need to do is to enforce public addiction laws with forced withdrawal. And do that with certainty, very quickly after such behavior appears. Make addiction miserable. Addiction is not a respectable lifestyle.

The inconvenient truth. 99% of San Francisco’s street addicts have no interest in recovery. They just want to do drugs out on the streets with the cheapest fentanyl in the country and free everything. Until San Francisco decides to get tough and enforce the law nothing will get better. Progressive “San Francisco Values” are a failure. Coddling drug addicts won’t work. The sooner we admit that the sooner we can address the elephant in the room that is killing two people a day in San Francisco.

@blueskiescali @DanielLurie Great and in the meantime let’s insist on abstinence because it’s better than letting addicts do drugs out on the street until they die.

@thomashawk @DanielLurie Abstinence is the only treatment that has been available for the past 90 years. I think we could do better searching for a better intervention & outcome.

JJ, when you meet the President be sure and bring up that phone call he had with @DanielLurie where the mayor promised to clean up San Francisco, and then the mayor didn’t do squat. Let him know that Mayor Lurie brags about San Francisco being a “sanctuary city” and that the Hondos are still in charge and are dealing drugs every day in SF and tell him about your video where one of the Hondos was raping that girl on Market Street. Godspeed @war24182236 — make sure the President knows how bad things are in San Francisco and how the mayor said fentanyl isn’t the problem but your videos are the problem. Time to clean up San Francisco. You are doing important work. You are doing the most important and honest boots on the ground journalism in San Francisco.

@CherieFireball @grok the law on the books says 1 year in county jail. The law is not being enforced.

@thomashawk @grok Used to be a felony to possess. used to be mandatory 90 day real jail sentence to be under the influence. Now, zero bail, no jail. no consequences. that's the new laws being enforced.

@CherieFireball @grok is it illegal to posses, distribute and use fentanyl without a prescription in the state of California? What is the legal penalty on the books for possession of fentanyl in California?

@thomashawk Laws ARE being enforced. IT'S BECAUSE THE LAWS ARE BAD! It's the Legislature and Governor backing these stupid laws.

They are not being enforced. It is against the law to posses drugs in San Francisco. It is against the law to buy drugs in San Francisco. It is against the law to be intoxicated on the streets of San Francisco. These laws are not being enforced. You can smoke fentanyl in front of the police station in the Tenderloin and nothing will happen to you. Blaming it on the laws is a cop out.

@blueskiescali @DanielLurie Until there is a “cure” which may not exist, abstinence is the only thing that works so far and it must be denanded, required, insisted upon and enforced by society. Letting people do drugs out on the streets of San Francisco until they overdose and die is not the solution.

@thomashawk @DanielLurie YES, JJ will be the voice of SF. Please let them know we need a CURE for addiction to drugs & alcohol. The 12 steps doesn’t work! This disease needs better treatment than abstinence. Stop blaming the victim of this horrible disease. It has touched too many. Time for a CURE!

@govt_corrupt Probably President Vance.

When Trump is gone, who will the liberals blame for all the problems we have?

@PatriciaHeaton For me, it’s photography books.

The older I get, the more I only want to read history books. Is this true for anyone else?

@nettermike You can still buy an electric car to support Elon though, just make sure it’s a Tesla.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is taking a jab at electric cars, calling them a “big, stupid virtue signal." “I’m not interested in electric cars at all," Seinfeld reportedly said in an interview. "Anybody else wants to do it, that’s fine. I think it’s a big, stupid virtue signal. ‘Look at me. I’m saving the planet, yeah.’ What about the lithium? It’s all BS."

@BBMagaMom Time to give up on that train to nowhere Gavin.

Gavin Newsom out here doing construction work like it’s a Vogue photoshoot. 😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Dude, WHAT is that stance?!? Hip cocked, delicate little hand on the tool, arched back like he’s waiting for his close-up. This isn’t a governor working, this is a man who’s spent his whole life in mansions and wineries trying to prove he’s “one of the guys.” Botox Stalin, the only thing you’ve ever built is a bigger deficit and more regulations. Put the power tool down before you break a nail, princess. California is a disaster and this performative bullshit isn’t fooling anyone.

@DanielLurie @SFPD JJ is going to tell @realDonaldTrump the truth about what is going on with the Hondos in SF Daniel. You’d better try to get ahead of this and start cooperating with the Feds quick.

Thanks to the great work at SFPD, we are driving down crime, catching criminals, and sending a message to the region and the world that SF is a safe American city. This week, @SFPD arrested two robbery suspects and recovered stolen property after tracking a vehicle linked to a series of car break-ins.

@burdmanorama I did yes. Great news, JJ will tell the president the truth.

@thomashawk Did you see this: yay!!

@SusanDReynolds San Francisco grift machine. @DanielLurie perpetuating the grift. Politics over people.

Between 2020 and 2025, San Francisco spent $1.5 billion on permanent supportive housing. Despite that, San Francisco has a death rate 60 times higher than the rest of America. In the State of California, $37 billion has been spent on homelessness over the past five years, while the homeless population grew from 49,000 in 2020 to 66,000 in 2025. Santa Clara County, with a population more than double that of San Francisco had a five-year total of 1,585 overdose fatalities. How can that be, you ask? Because San Francisco has gained a reputation for cheap drugs, generous cash subsidies, and lax enforcement, making it a magnet for fentanyl users across the United States.

A beautiful and photogenic day out yesterday on the historic Klamath ferry boat shooting the @guardsmen 14th annual Kentucky Derby Party in San Francisco. Congratulations Golden Tempo! A great event and group that does a lot of important work for Bay Area disadvantaged youth. Link to all of the photos in the comments.

It would be MUCH less expensive to set up a tent holding facility down on the vacant land at the San Bruno jail than to have to attend to them out on the streets. Also most would leave if you put this level of intensity on dealing with the issue and then you'd save the most money of all. San Francisco's Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing has spent over a billion dollars the past two years. There is plenty of money and much more that could be saved longer term. They come back because they are not promised jail upon return. Promise them jail and they will stay away. Wayyyy more expensive doing what we're doing now.

@thomashawk We tried the bus tickets out of town in LA -- they come back, because warm weather and networks. Jail is expensive and tax payers don't want to pay. Arrest is not a threat -- just a warm bed to recoup on. It's expensive either way (and no one wants to pay)

Make no mistake about it. This is a San Francisco public policy failure, brought to you courtesy of left wing progressive “San Francisco values.”

I can’t speak to how anybody else “treated her” but I can tell you that I was highly critical of her for her permissive attitude regarding drug use/abuse in San Francisco, and that has absolutely nothing to do with her being black or a woman and as a white man, I absolutely can say that.

@thomashawk And the mayor before her was the same, one of the same! They’re all self serving and not for the people. But as a black woman and native of SF, what I feel is a fact and she was very much treated badly because of who she was & as a white man you don’t have room to say otherwise

Yaw complained and talked so bad about London and it was only because she was black, let’s be honest! Now we got a rich nepo baby as mayor who plays in our face daily with lies and things that only benefit the rich. See
