Mayor George Moscone was assassinated in the San Francisco mayor's office by Dan White, a former member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, on November 27, 1978. And then White walked down the hall and also shot Supervisor Harvey Milk—in White's former office. Lincoln Mitchell rescues crucial details about Mayor Moscone from the shadows of this tragedy, and reminds us of Mayor Moscone's contributions to the development of modern San Francisco. First, George Moscone was a trailblazing progressive and powerful state legislator who was instrumental in passing legislation on issues ranging from LGBT rights to funding for school lunches. Later, Moscone's 1975 campaign for mayor was historically significant because it was the first time a major race was won by a candidate who campaigned aggressively for expanding civil rights for both African Americans and LGBT people. In addition to being a successful politician, Moscone was a charming and charismatic bon vivant deeply embedded in the fabric and culture of San Francisco. He grew up the only son of a single mother in Cow Hollow when it was a working class, largely Italian American neighborhood, and he became the kind of politician who knows bartenders, playground attendants, small business owners, and neighborhood activists in every corner of the city. Mitchell demonstrates how Moscone—through his work in the State Senate, victory in the very divisive 1975 mayor's race, and brief tenure as mayor—was a key figure in our city's evolution. Join us in person to find out why the politics surrounding Moscone's election as mayor, governance of the city, and tragic death are still relevant today. A Humanities Member-led Forum program.

To date, the Trump administration has reportedly revoked over 600 international student visas. The reason? These students have taken political stances on the Israel-Gaza conflict that the government argues is a threat to U.S. national security / foreign policy. It has resulted in them being arrested, detained (in weeks, for some cases) and deported. Free speech advocates have cited violations of the First Amendment, and warn that the crackdown could have ramifications for the wider population.

US President Donald Trump says that he doesn’t think a proposed investment deal to secure access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals is dead. This follows a heated argument between the Ukrainian leader, Trump and US Vice-President JD Vance, in front of the media in the Oval Office over the weekend. Trump’s comments come as his national security officials hold meetings this week to discuss next steps on Ukraine, including the prospect of suspending military aid. Meanwhile, Zelensky says that Ukraine is counting on US support “on the path to peace.” But, with Trump's assertion that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a man of his word, where does Ukraine stand in negotiations relating to the war?

We all sense a mood of optimism and dread, where we hope to be rid of Trump, and dread that he may win.There is concern about recent court rulings that curtail voting rights and procedures.

Part 1:We speak with Olivia Molina, President of the Texas State Teachers Association.We discuss the push by the Texas governor for school vouchers in Texas, despite the fact that most voters do not want them, and many legislators in Texas also do not support them. It should be noted that Texas had a $3Billion surplus, though schools were not fully funded. Vouchers are a way to kill public education, and this will affect rural districts economically. The governor's push is an attack on the schoolchildren, an attack on teachers, and an attack on rural populations in Texas.Part 2:We talk with Lincoln Mitchell and Bill Curry.We discuss how the mood of the country has shifted with the nomination of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. The political left is more energized, for many reasons we discuss. We also note that Trump is likely to sell off his stock in "Truth Social", thus profiting stockholders' losses.

Part 1:We speak with Lincoln Mitchell, Ph.D., who teaches at Columbia University.We discuss the recent elections in the country of Georgia. It appears that older voters are more inclined to turn to authoritarianism, possibly because of the history with Russia. Streets have seen demonstrations by the populace against the "Georgian Dream" party, who are social conservatives. Younger voters want to join the EU. However, there are "minority entrepreneurs" who want to profit from disinformation campaigns that equate liberalism with chaos.Part 2:We speak with Jamie Rowen, Ph.D. and lawyer about Louisiana's recent law that classified abortion medication as dangerous drugs. This makes the possession of these drugs unlawful. This is aimed at stopping the transport of these drugs, and to confuse people, including doctors and pharmacists about the consequences of supplying these drugs, even with prescriptions. There is no science to show these drugs are dangerous or addictive. But it has a chilling effect on the potential users of the drugs. WNHNFM.ORG production
