Lots of demonstrations and events these last few days, from the 20th Street Block Party on Saturday to Sunday Streets on, well, Sunday. Protests against the deportation of immigrants at our border and for the anti-speculation ballot initiative Proposition G followed on the heels of the Alex Nieto march on Friday. And there was also the topless Sunday at Dolores Park — in short, an eventful weekend indeed.
