San Francisco Supervisor Ahsha Safai talked about working with Lazar. Safai said he could call Lazar at any moment he had questions about policies and would tell him when he was wrong. CEO of the Union Square Alliance, Marisa Rodriquez, said that Lazar is missed by many community members after he retired. Lazar retired in May from SFPD. "I will say that about 800,000 people in San Francisco are jealous of this opportunity you have before you," Rodriquez said. Lazar helped the city during the pandemic and worked together with Rodriguez to address crime issues, leading to a decrease, she said, offering the data to the supervisors.

It's rare that a grocery store is among the things that people love about their home state, but H-E-B holds that place for many Texans. While the thought of all things Texas may bring to mind things like barbecue and Tex-Mex cuisine, H-E-B is another major Texan institution, and one that has a huge following. Being one of the oldest grocery stores in the United States, it's still going strong, and its customer base is as loud as they are loyal.

Before the fire, Lucy's Place would come alive in the morning. Gardeners and day laborers would come by for a morning pastry or breakfast burrito and coffee served up by owner Juan Orozco, who arrived at 5 a.m. to prepare.

There is no discrimination against anyone. We had a young lad come in recently from Dublin, he looked lost, he said he was starving. We fed and helped him, my heart went out to him. He has been in touch recently saying he was offered a job and is settled and he thanked us for helping him.

I was then able to confirm through the ICE locator as his information finally showed in the system. Thank you again for all the support.

With all children across the UK back in school as of this week, I am reminded that almost one in three are in poverty. That statistic is shocking enough but behind every number is a child, and what this statistic means is children arriving at school hungry, living in insecure housing, and missing out on the activities that help them thrive.

There is no denying that these are dangerous times, and it is all too easy to get sucked into the vortex of despair. From troops overrunning the streets of Washington, D.C., to the antidemocratic strongarm tactics of Governor Abbott in Texas, to Governor DeSantis ordering the Pulse Memorial rainbow walk to be painted over in Florida, to out-of-control ICE agents stealing people off the street, to starvation in Gaza, to whatever the heck is going on with the Ukraine negotiations,

Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now! These kids were literally praying! It was the first week of school. They were in a Church! These are kids that should be learning with their friends. They should be playing on the playground. They should able to go to school or Church in peace without the fear or risk of violence.

The baby's delivery began unexpectedly on the front lawn when Jasmine Mix felt the urge to push as her husband opened the car door.

When the games start, these kids seem to focus like I've never seen for a bunch of 8-year-olds. They absorb everything so quickly.
