Sam Liccardo has excellent accomplishments to show- dense towers and walkable downtown, Net Zero Carbon buildings by 2030, programs for homeless including tiny homes and bridge interim housing, adopted builders option for the housing element, separated bike lane network, 15mph zones around schools, ended parking minimums and LOS, started San Jose Clean Energy, fierce and leading critic of PG&E in the state, begun process for microgrid downtown for 25,000 new residents, (71), liability insurance requirement for gun owners, and brought money and program to preserve Coyote Valley. Still needs to work on Jobs Housing Balance, social housing, speed cameras, youth employment, and high speed public broadband. Best examples- two single family homes downtown will be replaced by a 600 unit tower with almost no parking and buying the transmission line for the microgrid.

: one glaringly obvious truth persists: (on the traditional sacred and ancestral land of the Massachusett)will always protect . In suppressing pro-Palestine students, President Gay was doing the job of a Harvard president (profiting from donors who accumulated wealth through slave trading (Epstein), plantations, machiladoras, textile sweatshops worked by people in various levels of bondage) and carrying out the University’s commitment to white supremacy. But ultimately, when she failed to do this well enough, she became a victim (scalped in the words of supremacists) of the same racism she had tried to uphold. The interdependency of anti-Black racism and Zionism cannot be more clear than through President Gay’s tenure and resignation- Aaryan Morrison




Mondoweiss · On white supremacy and Zionism: a reflection on Claudine Gay’s tenure as president of Harvard UniversityAnti-Black racism and Zionism are two cornerstones of Harvard’s flawed foundation. We should mourn Claudine Gay’s tenure at Harvard because she was both a victim and an agent of white supremacy.
