San Francisco LGBTQ Pride parade floods downtown; US and Iranian strikes over Strait of Hormuz; New York City’s rent freeze

Hundreds of thousands of participants flooded San Francisco’s Market Street today for the city’s annual pride parade, combining a community march, a political rally and a joyous street party around the theme of ‘resistance in action.’ Escalating strikes between Iran and the US continue over the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran launched drone and missile attacks against us military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait after the US bombed sites in Iran and threatened to halt all negotiations to end the war. Draft documents show that the so called-Board of Peace for Gaza is considering granting itself, and all of its members, sweeping immunity from potential prosecution for its activities in Gaza New York’s rent board has frozen rents city-wide in a million rent stabilized apartments. The vote delivered on a key promise of New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani.   The post San Francisco LGBTQ Pride parade floods downtown; US and Iranian strikes over Strait of Hormuz; New York City’s rent freeze appeared first on KPFA.
