Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. SF Lawmaker Demands Release Of Former News Anchor Turned Staffer Detained By ICE (patch.com) — San Franciscans are watching closely as Assemblymember Catherine Stefani urges federal officials to release her staffer, former KTSF anchor Ho Yin Mo, now held in an ICE detention center in Nevada. Stefani highlights Mo's work serving San Francisco's Chinese-American community, helping residents access health care, child care, and food assistance while questions swirl over his immigration status.
2. San Francisco Pizzeria Ranked Among Best In The World (patch.com) — Pizza lovers in San Francisco have fresh bragging rights as Tony's Pizza Napoletana in North Beach ties for fifth place in a prestigious global ranking and second in the United States. The recognition spotlights owner Tony Gemignani's long-cultivated passion and the restaurant's inventive pies, putting San Francisco firmly on the world pizza map alongside a top Los Angeles spot.
3. Duo Convicted For Gunning Down Man At SF Housing Development In 2014: DA (patch.com) — San Francisco readers learn that a jury has convicted two defendants for the 2014 shooting death of Da'Ron Raynaldo outside his home near the Potrero Hill Housing Development. Prosecutors say the pair drove a stolen car through the neighborhood before one exited and opened fire, and the district attorney emphasizes the verdict as long-awaited justice for the victim's family. The case underscores the city's efforts to resolve older homicide cases and hold gun offenders accountable.
4. Social workers call for new safety measures following stabbing death of colleague (ktvu.com) — San Francisco social workers gathered outside Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital to honor slain colleague Alberto Rangel and demand stronger safety protections on the job. They say that despite new metal detectors and deputies, threats and violent incidents persist at Ward 86. Workers are pressing UCSF and the city for better staffing, pay, training, and a real voice in workplace safety decisions.
5. S.F. Democratic Party stands behind Flock surveillance cameras in sweeping vote (missionlocal.org) — San Francisco residents should know the local Democratic Party has voted to reaffirm support for Flock license-plate reader cameras, despite concerns about millions of improper data searches by outside agencies. A competing proposal to tighten rules and consider suspending the city's contract was rejected. The debate sets the stage for a 2027 Board of Supervisors decision on whether to renew Flock's city contract.
