It's a great day to pick up the print edition of the @sfchronicle.com featuring a powerful piece written and photographed by @brontewittpenn.bsky.social on one family's 100 year fight to free the Klamath river. www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

How one family fought for 100 years to free the Klamath River Dams sickened the Klamath River for over a century. Across generations, a family fought to heal the waterway and save its salmon.

For me NYE is always about reflection, hope and renewal. Can't think of a more apt day to launch this story of a family's 100 year fight to free the Klamath river by @brontewittpenn.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

6 infections, 3 heart surgeries — and still he can’t escape his drug addiction Cardiac doctors in San Francisco are increasingly seeing young people hospitalized with a deadly heart infection caused by injecting drugs.

Can't stop staring at the great @sfchronicle.com photo of Jane Goodall from 1970. The unnamed photographer worked some Cindy Sherman Untitled Film Stills magic. I'd love to know who made the image. H/T to Dan Hernandez for unearthing this archive beauty.

Photos show how National Guard troops have been deployed in L.A. But their role is growing The presence of thousands of armed troops deployed to protect federal facilities and agents in Los Angeles stood in contrast to the relatively small number of protesters near them.

Exclusive: DHS secretary sought military arrests and drones in Los Angeles in leaked letter The military is generally barred from domestic law enforcement. Granting Kristi Noem’s request would likely require the administration to sidestep those laws by invoking the Insurrection Act.

www.sfchronicle.com/us-world/art...

We published real photos of troops sleeping on a floor in L.A. Right-wing critics called them fake So widespread were the claims that fact-checking organizations launched inquiries. Then the Pentagon confirmed the Chronicle’s images of National Guard troops in Los Angeles were authentic.

Why I’ll remember Pope Francis as my — imperfect — gay ally The late pontiff’s compassionate approach to LGBTQ issues marked a departure from previous church leadership.

I've always had a hard time reconciling those polar opposite experiences but this piece by @tonybravosf.bsky.social reflecting on the impact of Pope Francis really sums it up for this queer lapsed-catholic.

I first encountered homophobia (and sexism for that matter) at my Catholic elementary school. I also learned to embrace the importance of service and moral courage, not to mention a love of visual pageantry (the Incense! the outfits!).

SJSU’s Blaire Fleming was suicidal after becoming beacon of national anti-trans movement In her first public comments, former San Jose State volleyball player Blaire Fleming said she was suicidal after being outed as transgender by a teammate.

Last year, the @sfchronicle.com visuals team followed San Jose State's turbulent volleyball season after Blaire Fleming became the target of the anti-trans movement. We waited to publish these images until she was ready to speak publicly.
