TIL: San Francisco almost built a freeway down Mission street after WWII. I am happy it did not happen but it makes me think about how many beautiful neighborhood this country has lost because. (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:19...)

It's sad that, in the best-case scenario, the next few presidents will mostly spend their time cleaning up the mess that the current administration left behind.

San José's population density (5.6k/sqm) is only a third of San Francisco's (18.6k/sqm). They should aim to at least double their population.

SCHWAB: “.. The labor force participation rate has given up all gains since February 2021.” #LFPR

It's genuinely a massive problem that the median voter both 1) believes "criminal illegal immigrants" to be an astronomically more serious threat than they actually are, and 2) believes that the legal immigration process is substantially easier than it actually is.

It is ironic how many people oppose speed cameras because of supposed mass surveillance, but are totally onboard with AVs.

Our national forests are a treasure. The Trump admin's gutting of the US Forest Service & threats to sell off national forests to states or even corporations puts these ecosystems at risk & can contribute to elevating wildfire dangers. It's an attack on science-based stewardship of public lands.

ICE kidnapped a person outside la Palma Restaurant on 24th Street yesterday. Be vigilant! #SanFrancisco

If you’re an establishment Democrat who is concerned about Democratic socialists taking over your party, you should support proportional representation. The current two party system forces us into the same party—let’s make a new party system and let the voters decide.

Valencia Street easily has more bike commuters during rush hour than cars, yet people will still complain that “no one uses them.”

It is so strange to me how few -- especially young -- people vote. In California there is same day registration, universal vote by mail, and a long early voting period. Still, in my precinct the primary turnout was under 20%.

It should be illegal to manufacture electric micromobility devices that go above 20 mph. And yes, cars should have speed governors.

CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get? LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.

"e-bike shame" is a fascinating social dynamic. e-bikes are a kind of mobility aid. People don't use the term, but they recognize it. So e-biking gets a stigma, like walking with a walker gets a stigma. And like walkers, wheelchairs, etc, using a more-assistive car instead isn't stigmatized.

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it. A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of

It is already absurd that he helped wreck the UK with Brexit and then just sailed off to the US. But him now pretending like this qualifies him to be governor of California is — to use one of his favorite words — ridiculous.

Steve Hilton talking about CA suburbs like they are some great achievement made me throw up a little

Having a gubernatorial debate at 5:30pm when many people are not even home from work yet is a choice...

Any tips on retrieving stolen bikes in San Francisco? Someone managed to climb our 8ft fence 🫠

Nothing says #SanFrancisco cares about pedestrian safety more than city workers parking in crosswalks in a school zone.

Imagine a European leader coming to California and attacking the federal government, like JD Vance just attacked "EU bureaucrats" in Hungary.

The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment

It's getting to where this is a daily Bay Area occurrence. Once again, a senior citizen driver, this time in San Francisco, has jumped the curb while parking and killed a pedestrian. We badly need better mobility alternatives for our elderly neighbors. sfist.com/2026/03/27/p...

oh shit oh fuck I don't have nearly enough Robux to bribe these ICE agents.

Seeing Tulsi Gabbard say “the president determines what is an imminent threat not the intelligence community”, reinforced to me how much jeopardy we’re in. WTF

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

there are 6 busses in this photo not including the one boarding 50 ft to my left please explain to me why we dont have full enforced quality bus lanes both directions on mission and 16th
