[OxQQme]

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors recently passed a resolution, introduced by Board President London Breed, in response to the election of Donald Trump. The resolution reads as follows:



WHEREAS, On November 8, 2016, Donald Trump was elected to become the 45th President of the United States; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That no matter the threats made by President-elect Trump, San Francisco will remain a Sanctuary City. We will not turn our back on the men and women from other countries who help make this city great, and who represent over one third of our population. This is the Golden Gate—we build bridges, not walls; and, be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, That we will never back down on women’s rights, whether in healthcare, the workplace, or any other area threatened by a man who treats women as obstacles to be demeaned or objects to be assaulted. And just as important, we will ensure our young girls grow up with role models who show them they can be or do anything; and, be it

more there

1. thank you San Francisco

[katmondoo]

2. Wow!!! Good for them

We need More and More cities like this

[Chemisse]

3. I've always loved San Francisco.

Today I love it even more.

[mainer]

4. Whoa. Those are some tough words.

I just learned that S.F. was the birthplace of the United Nations. I never knew that.

[awoke_in_2003]

19. Yeah, they based themselves in NYC

for the lower rent

[Lucky Luciano]

5. Good. Fuck the little fuhrer

[Tikki]

6. Thank You, San Francisco...people of this Country and this World need to know how....

San Francisco makes it work.

We just got back from an amazing trip there.

Tikki

[Demobrat]

7. I'm never leaving.

I would rather be poor in SF than rich in any red state.

[philosslayer]

8. One third of San Francisco residents are undocumented immigrants?

wow. I had no idea. Given the size of that community, I assume they are allowed to vote in local elections. Is that true?

[Tikki]

10. No...

But their concerns as human beings are taken into consideration.

Cool idea. huh?


Tikki

[philosslayer]

12. Well my father is a noncitizen

and an immigrant. So yes

[Tikki]

16. Tell Dad "HI"and glad he is here with his family. Nearly all US people's ancestor's came here as ...

immigrants.



Tikki

[NBachers]

32. One distant ancestor came from Germany, then sent his passport back so his brother could use it.

At least that's the story in my family. The other side was Potato Famine refugees.

We tell both stories with pride.

[lunatica]

11. Only American citizens are allowed to vote

Don't believe every thing the Trumpers say.

[philosslayer]

13. But they are considering it

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-10-28/some-cities-want-their-immigrants-to-vote

[mainer]

18. It refers to immigrants in general, not undocumented ones.

1/3 of San Francisco residents are no doubt from other countries, especially considering the large Asian population.

[Cyrano]

9. So will Trump nuke San Francisco?

[yuiyoshida]

27. and blow up the best sour dough bread in the world?

i doubt it.

[Cyrano]

30. Not to mention, one of the best,

most beautiful cities in America.

[NBachers]

35. That's what I'm talkin' about! This sourdough bread was baked 100 yards from here.

After I ate the clam chowder, the sourdough bread bowl was so good, I ate it all up.

[drray23]

36. And with anchor steam.

When i was living in palo alto my favorite thing to do on weekends was to go to sf at pier 39 and drink anchor steam while eating seafood

[panader0]

40. Right around the corner. (Your picture made me drool)

[NBachers]

41. Yup - and there's the same fish - packing warehouse in the background.

People who claim to be true San Franciscans are said to be disdainful of the Fisherman's Wharf / Pier 39 / Waterfront Park area. But I can't get enough of 'em.

And I don't even care about the Frisco business, either.

[yuiyoshida]

42. gaH! you called it Frisco?

Frisco is a town in Texas! Our town is San Francisco, never call it FRISCO!

As for good eats, this is the place to go!

[panader0]

39. My birthplace. I love it when I have the chance to visit.

[skylucy]

14. I live near San Francisco and my husband works there. It is a WONDERFUL city!

[pangaia]

15. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The only negative I can think of in this, is that nobody can afford to move to SF.

[yuiyoshida]

28. or leave it...

Thanks to rent control, some of us will be around for a long time, but eventually those rents will get high enough that you will have to vacate.

[Leontius]

17. It's great to live in a country where elected government officals can pick and chose

which laws they will enforce.

[MarvinGardens]

31. In our federal system...

Federal law can be enforced in SF by federal agents, just as it can anywhere. But the feds cannot force a state to have a law penalizing undocumented immigrants, nor can they force a state to use its resources to enforce federal law. A city is a subdivision of the state. A state could force a city to cooperate with the feds on this issue, and some have.

[DBoon]

20. And here is the response by a past SF Mayoral candidate

Jello Biafra and the Dead Kennedies singing Nazi Punks Fuck Off

[smirkymonkey]

21. Thank you San Francisco, my former hometown!

[BigDemVoter]

22. I'm so glad this is my home.

It is the ONLY thing that will keep me sane while watching the horseshit transpire from (hopefully) afar. What's too goddamned bad is that California cannot secede from the areas in which the Kool-Aid drinking Rubes decided to exercise their voting power.

Honestly (no offense to Dems from other places), we have one of the biggest economies in the WORLD, and we don't need the rest of the USA. It would be so nice to incorporate ourselves with Canada as one of their provinces. In any case, one thinks of catastrophic earthquakes or other awful events. How much does anybody really think thin-skinned Yam would be willing to help California? -- a multicultural state that kicked him in his orange asshole. . .

Ugh. Even living here, I have a perpetual nauseous feeling just knowing people like our new. . . . leader. . . . exist.

[Tikki]

37. You know, British Columbia is kind of in the same position as CA and the rest....

of our West Coast.


The BC economy is strong and they end up subsidizing some other areas of Canada.

23. Perfect.. in your orange face sexual predator elect.

"FURTHER RESOLVED, That Black Lives Matter in San Francisco, even if they may not in the White House. And guided by President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, we will continue reforming our police department and rebuilding trust between police and communities of color so all citizens feel safe in their neighborhoods; and, be it"

24. I am proud of my city but this Scares me....

I could easily see Army Tanks rolling down Market Street to City Hall, pointing their turrets towards the City Hall building, demanding the surrender of our mayor and board of supervisors.
Followed by a trial for being traitors.

Maybe at this point, California will vote to become a separate nation, only to find troops at our borders, not unlike a country that borders on Putin's Russia.

[malthaussen]

26. I tend to doubt the Army would follow such an unlawful order.

Police departments, however...

-- Mal

[yeoman6987]

29. No. the worst that will happen is no federal funding to San Francisco

California will give them the money the Feds keep from them.

[malthaussen]

25. Yep, quite a few cities have made similar announcements...

... the California legislature was going to issue one for the whole state, or have they already (it's so hard to keep track).

-- Mal

[wordpix]

33. Trumpenfuror won't like that

Keep it coming!

[niyad]

34. KNEW we could count on San Francisco--one of my very favourite cities.

[Demoiselle]

38. Good for San Francisco! And I love the name "London Breed."

[NBachers]

43. I went over to Pier 39 tonight and made a movie of the Pier 39 Sea Lions.

Pier 39, in San Francisco, near Fisherman's Wharf, has a colony of Sea Lions that are always noisy and entertaining.  Here's a typical night-time experience with the Sea Lions of Pier 39.

You can see the Golden Gate bridge stretching across the bay, with the lights of Sausalito off in the distance.
