This week’s edition of Looking Back at the Week features a double dose of articles, commentaries, columns, toons, and other work by San Diego Free Press regulars, irregulars, columnists, at-large contributors, and sourced writers on: SD feeling the Bern, victory in the fight for $15, Trump the fool, D9 council candidate Sarah Saez, the multi-headed beast known as the Citizens’ Plan, pushing SDPD reforms at the ballot box, neo-feudal financial parasites, EHC’s transportation justice victories, fascism in America, puppy mills in Carlsbad, and lots of other inspiring (and sometimes depressing), grassroots news & progressive views from San Diego’s friendly, neighborhood, all volunteer, slightly funky, community news site.
