Not like me. You're not like us. I got on a ballot. W/o you. Hard part's cutting through Billionaires like you & Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel shouting over US You and all these Billionaires are going to form a party with regular folks at heart? My Cubes, please!

Mark Cuban@mcuban.bsky.social

Just like you Jefferey. If the Dems wouldn't let you run, we would help YOU get on the ballot.

So why does @caltrain.com feel like it's about to rock off the rails crossing 16th ave rolling out of the city? Now that the chug of the diesel has been replaced by a gentle hum of electric motors, irregular tracks are a lot more apparent Hard to imagine High Speed rail running this corridor atm…

Another @sftrees.bsky.social planting this weekend. Last time we had more people than trees and somebody heard me because this time my group got more trees than people! Got all 4̶ 3/3 planted though, ~and~ we had a CCSF student volunteer learning the keys of root management (most important part!)

Btw, here's a view of BayShore station, and it's hard for me to understand the rush to tear down my neighborhood when there's a Caltrain stop still bordered by open fields... fingers crossed we build smart because I want you to enjoy my city too! We're all San Francisco

Proud to earn the endorsement of a champion for working families: Secretary @rbreich.bsky.social. Scott Wiener may have billionaires and big corporations backing him, but I stand with working people. San Francisco deserves a representative who answers to the people, not the powerful.

You folks get this Trump Account email today? Explicitly, this is a way for the wealthy to exchange bribes through peoples' children, via a commonly accepted standard exchange. Venmo for nepotism

And yes, the rich already had trust funds and brokerage accounts for their toddlers; that's always been a thing. But this democratizes gift giving to the extent that I can see right wing influencers putting this up with their Patreon and their cashapp. "Like and subscribe and take care of my kids"

Did I mention GoFundMe? Maybe I'm projecting but when I see a marketing line like "money already contributed" I'm thinking if that's not a total lie, who else besides the initial $1000 is already stuffing these accounts? Which proud boy is logging in to a familial windfall from these "donors"?

Btw, think about the sheer expense of building bigger fare gates simply to stop people boarding a train that's *already going somewhere* Better system just funds the public good on the assumption that it's extremely difficult to ride several trains in a day. Billionaires cannot over-consume train 😱

Took @bart.gov today and somebody snuck in after me, coming out going the wrong direction (oh excuse me, sorry!) It's not my job to fight these people on the spot. Just another reminder that Scott Wiener doesn't have answers. He has technology contracts to award. Vote @conniechansf.bsky.social

Am I the only one who thinks it's insane that a DA can pick their own judges to the extent that they can completely take one off the bench? Chilling effect silencing any judge who DOESN'T LOVE COPS ENOUGH San Francisco is bad because this 👇 was the "fix" Venture Capital AI Bros sold us 4 years ago

An S.F. judge rejected DA Jenkins’ blanket boycott of Judge Michelle Tong. The court's decision, made possible by a recent California Supreme Court ruling, shows that these boycotts might be coming to an end in California. via @frankiesd.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/10/cour...

So... I wasn't the only one who noticed SpaceX was on the brink of a collapse yesterday... I'm genuinely curious if 10 or 20 more years of AI development will make this sort of Billionaire checkers harder to game At this point sufficient Capital is sufficient. Period. No limits. No accountability.
