For those of you claiming enforcement is the "war on drugs," I can tell you from lived experience that's false. There's been no "war on drugs" for years in SF. If we get the dealers, most of this goes away. The police supplemental will help. Dump Prestonturd Dean Preston (deanpreston.bsky.social)

Sending social workers or ambassadors to intervene in drug dealing activities is unsafe and irresponsible. We asked Preston to come up with a strategy that would address the violence and drug dealing on our streets. This is not going to work! axios.com/local/san-fran…

Here is a fairly objective recap of the SFBOS Budget committee meeting on Wednesday by tim redmond. Interesting to note that all the Supervisors who commented wanted MORE police in their districts, even the one that voted against. 48hills.org/2023/03/police…

This wouldn't have been possible without your advocacy Randy Shaw, T Wolf 🌁, jj smith, Cedric Akbar, Mothers Against Drug Addiction and Deaths, and so many others. Thank you for all you do. sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

Glad to see @AaronPeskin calling for an Emergency Operations Center to address the drug dealer crisis. Other progressives should follow his lead, bit.ly/43myMb7 @TSFAction T Wolf 🌁

Dean Preston (deanpreston.bsky.social) Dean, I’ve asked you this before, I’m sincerely curious about your answer/position on this: Do you think it’s important to shut down the open air drug markets and dealing on corners around the TL?

I’ve been advocating for a sustained drug market intervention, and today’s announcement about a unified command to coordinate resources is a welcome step in the right direction. We need more — more coordination, more expertise, and more resources. (1/5) sfchronicle.com/sf/article/sf-…

I also believe we need far more resources to make the kind of progress San Franciscans are demanding of us — not just from state, but federal partners, too. That’s why I’ve joined Nancy Pelosi to urge more help from the U.S. DOJ and U.S. DEA. (5/5) acrobat.adobe.com/link/track?uri…

30 suicides/year from GG Bridge jumpers. $200M to prevent this. We're on track to lose 800 lives to overdose in 2023 and yet our policies continue to invite those intent on killing themselves on our sidewalks as well as the predators profiting from them. sfstandard.com/video/golden-g…

Well, it's true. And now, because of Fentanyl, 2 people per day are dying from unchecked organized drug dealing. It's time for tradeoffs. Save lives. Close the open air drug markets today. #ThatsFentalife #SanFrancisco

Happy Birthday to my son Corey. I love you so much. You tell me you don’t want your life to be like this but don’t know how to escape. That San Francisco gives you everything you need to stay in your addiction and it’s difficult to access recovery services. #ThatsFentalife

Hey SFDPH Matt Dorsey London Breed and the SF twitterverse. Could we figure out a way to put a longer term medical /psych hold on someone who needed multiple Narcans to bring them back from an OD (if not the first, their 2nd or 3rd ODs) ? Can multiple ODs be considered a form

This week the Board of Supervisors agreed to fully fund my proposed public safety budget. Thank you to everyone who advocated for this huge win. This means more police staffing, ambassadors on our streets, prosecutors focused on drug dealers, additional park rangers, and more.

We also received more support from Governor Gavin Newsom this week, who is doubling the number of CHP officers in SF to help our efforts to shut down drug markets. This is exactly the kind of local and state coordination we need. ktvu.com/news/newsom-do…

Thank you to all of our partners and community members who have supported Azalina as she helps make the Tenderloin the incredible food destination that we all know it is. Make sure to bring your friends and family to this small business on Ellis Street starting July 20.

A reasonable and compassionate approach to the devastating issues of homelessness and addiction… sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

It is about damn time. The people and institutions of SF are finally speaking out. The culture of fear of being canceled by ideologues kept them quite for too long.
