Today’s newsletter is presented by the San Diego Foundation.
Good morning, San Diego.
As Pride month gets underway, the Trump administration has announced that it is stripping the name of the USNS Harvey Milk, built in San Diego and named after the queer rights icon, in order to “re-establish the warrior culture.”
It’s a very rare move for the U.S. Navy, and it was implemented without having a replacement name on hand. A new name is supposed to be chosen later this month.
Also, the investigation is continuing after a man was found dead in an Amazon warehouse bathroom in Otay Mesa, numbers of unsheltered people are once again increasing, and the District 1 special election is officially underway.
To offset all the heavy news, we’re also offering a preview of upcoming live music shows in today’s newsletter.
