The history of San Francisco is often told through gold rushes, but its most enduring architecture is the spiritual infrastructure of Glide Memorial Church. During the 1980s, while the federal War on Drugs built prisons, Reverend Cecil Williams was building a bridge. This movement was born in the cramped hallways of SRO hotels, where Glide proved you cannot save a city until you claim its most contested spaces. By performing The Ministry of Presence in these rooms, Glide bypassed the cold bureaucracy of early TAP (Treatment Access Protocols) and affirmed the Universal Truth that Belonging Is Precedent To Healing.

San Francisco’s “Babies” Are Losing the War
Featured
The path from De Marillac Academy to Boeddeker Park has become one of the most treacherous 0.2-mile stretches in urban America. For the children of the Tenderloin, a simple walk to recreation is a tactical maneuver through chemical despair and open-air drug markets. The safety of our youth has been traded for the comfort of the sidewalk’s most destructive elements.

The official gazettes of City Hall will tell you that the closure of Ellis Street Last Friday, January 30, 2026, was a festive prelude to the spectacle of Super Bowl LX. They will speak of the SFPAL Punt, Pass & Kick event as a bridge between the San Francisco 49ers and the youth of the Tenderloin. But if one looks past the glossy press releases and into the cold, hard arithmetic of the municipal ledger, a different story emerges. It is a story of a city that provides a five-hour sanctuary for its children while the remaining nineteen hours are ceded to a “Gold Rush” of synthetic despair and administrative neglect.

Poverty Pimping On Jones St.
Featured
For decades, the Tenderloin has been the battlefield of San Francisco’s struggle with poverty. By January 2026, the 100 block of Jones Street has become the primary symbol of failed Harm Reduction. While City Hall promotes a “recovery” narrative, this single corridor remains a gauntlet of human suffering and open-air drug use. This decay is fueled by a systemic cycle where nonprofits profit from the management of misery rather than its eradication.
Cunning And Baffling
In the city where the silver fog descends, A “cunning, baffling” ghost begins its reign. Where every steep and narrow street extends, There lies the heavy, sweet, and ancient chain. A populace in shadow, bent and bowed, Beneath a sky of gray and digital gold, While through the Tenderloin, a silent crowd Surrenders to a story centuries old.
The Hollow Holler
Featured
I‘ve spent thirty years underground, breathing in the dust and history of these Appalachian hills. Now, in late 2025, my breath comes short, a rattling reminder of the price we paid for “keeping the lights on.” They call it Black Lung; I call it the sound of a man running out of time. But lately, it ain’t just the miners who are wheezing—it’s the whole state. We’re witnessing what the folks in suits call “demographic decline,” but down here, it just feels like we’re being erased.

Venezuela’s Rare Earth Resources
Featured
The focus on Venezuela’s resource wealth extends far beyond its vast oil reserves. The mineral Coltan, known in its refined form as Tantalum, represents a critical strategic vulnerability for the United States, placing Venezuela’s Orinoco Mining Arc squarely within the Pentagon’s defense planning.

Slavery Sparked America’s First Opioid Wave.
Featured
Before the headlines about OxyContin, before the fentanyl crisis took over the streets, and way before the Sackler family became a household name, America was already battling a massive opioid beast. We think of the opioid epidemic as a modern tragedy, but the blueprint was written over 150 years ago, right in the smoke and blood of the Civil War.

Exploring Genetic Links
Featured
Genetic research often reveals uncomfortable truths for those clinging to ideologies of separation, and nowhere is this more evident than in the legacy of Henrietta Lacks. Her cells, known as HeLa, were harvested from a Black woman in 1951 and became the first immortal human cell line, fundamentally changing the landscape of modern medicine. This biological immortality mocks the very concept of racial hierarchy, as these cells became the universal standard for human cellular biology, irrespective of race.

Federal Marijuana Law Fuels the Trucking Labor Gap
Featured
The U.S. trucking business is bleedin’ drivers, and it ain’t no mystery why. We got a mess right here in this country where what’s fine in your home state can get you fired by Uncle Sam. Folks are legalizin’ that marijuana left and right, but the federal government. The one that gives out them CDLs still treats marijuana like the devil’s lettuce. That head-buttin’ between state and federal law is the biggest darn reason our trucker pool is dryin’ up, causin’ a big ol’ hole in our supply chain.
The Healing Hustle, Healthcare’s Big Money Problem.
Featured
Yo, let’s break it down. At its heart, medicine is supposed to be about one thing: keeping people healthy. It’s a mission. But on the streets of the healthcare world, that mission is constantly clashing with a powerful hustle: the push for profit. We’re talking about the big players—insurance giants, drug companies, medical device makers, and even the top-dog specialists—all in a system where the bottom line can sometimes shout louder than a patient’s needs. This ain’t just a local issue; it’s a global struggle between care and cash. Continue reading
Public Health vs. Personal Freedom
Featured
Remember the COVID-19 mask debates? Or how about arguments over vaccine mandates? Turns out, humanity has been having these same fights for centuries! One could almost say millennia, if we consider the ancient world’s attempts to contain leprosy or other contagions through isolation and social ostracization. This isn’t a new phenomenon; it’s an enduring clash between what’s best for everyone (public health) and what individuals want for themselves (personal liberty). It’s a tension as old as society itself, a dance between the collective and the individual that shapes our laws, our ethics, and, ultimately, our very survival. Continue reading

SFPD Porky Pig Cop Assaults 67-Year-Old Black Man On Lombard In San Francisco.
Bill Scott SFPD Police Chief
Friday, January 10, 2024, At About 11:30 PM SFPD Porky Pig Cop With A BMI Of 30 Assaulted A 67-Year-Old Black Man On The 2100 Block Of Lombard St, San Francisco. Porky Pig Jumped Out Of His SUV, Rushed Toward Me, Snatched A Bag Out Of My Hand, And Slammed Me Against A Wall. He Handcuffed Me. While Handcuffing Me, He Cut My Finger. Porky Pig Never Told Me Why I Was Being Detained.
This Was Some Stupid Ass Policing; The Kind That Gets Cops Killed Because Of The Way He Rushed Up On Me, By Himself; Could Not Ascertain If I Was Armed Or Not. This Porky Pig Should Not Be A Cop, For His Own Safty And The Safty Of Other Good Police. Is This Mayor lurie’s Vision Of SF?
