Today’s newsletter is presented by the San Diego Foundation.
It’s June already, San Diego.
It’s somehow the sixth month of 2025 already and we’re halfway to the end of the year. As I write, the unofficial kickoff to summer around here — the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon — is underway amid sticky, lingering “June gloom” humidity.
Protesters are turning out in support of Italian restaurant Buona Forchetta and the South Park community as it continues to reel from an aggressive Friday afternoon ICE raid, during which agents tossed flash-bang grenades at people who had gathered to protest the arrests. (They eventually arrested two restaurant employees for not having their identification on them.)
Elected officials have released strong statements criticizing the tactics.
Elsewhere, police shoot a reportedly suicidal man in Ocean Beach, calm has been restored to the San Diego FC stands, and is trouble on the horizon for the local GOP? It’s beginning to look like it — at least from a donor perspective.

Opinion: Privileged homeowners like me shouldn’t resist new housing
We don’t have to give up things that make our neighborhoods special; we just have to stop treating them as if they’re off-limits to others.
