Wiener & former AOC chief of staff/Justice Dems co-founder Saikat Chakrabarti are the only two who get noticed in national stories, but a third candidate has most local and labor endorsements and has outlined a path to make the runoff: SF supervisor Connie Chan. prospect.org/2026/05/11/s...

it's like our entire sense of morality has been filtered through the act of consumption, and the highest good we can imagine is feeling good and clean and pure as individuals, unpolluted by the obvious evil are around us meanwhile, real change requires the kind of work you need a drink after

One of the most dangerous tropes in political media is how the only Jewish voices that matter are the most right-wing ones, hence the ease with which reporters assumed Jews are scared of Mamdani. (This is also how Jewish protestors were erased from the discourse about antisemitism on campuses.)
it’s almost like all the attacks calling Mamdani antisemitic were vapid bad faith bullshit created by politicians with no policy plan other than smashing the “scary muslim” button

She’s telling the truth, insane. If you’re mad about how things cost too much and more and more Americans aren’t able to buy houses, this is a win. Her division is specifically responsible for buying single family houses and inflating the market.

Gray rocking. Such a wonderful term. The best way of dealing with toxic people. It’s only a protective tool. You cannot change a toxic person. You can become as emotionally unresponsive and uninteresting, like a gray rock. The goal is to deprive the person of the emotional supply they crave, causing

my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!
the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

There are at least 10 holdout republicans for the Big Beautiful MUDER BILL, & THEY CAN ONLY AFFORD TO LOSE 3 VOTES, or else the bill WILL NOT PASS. THIS IS YOUR TIME TO FIGHT! CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPOST THIS TO REMIND OTHERS! #politics #news #breakingnews #currentevents

Our story on tonight's anti-ICE protests: Hundreds were out rallying at ICE HQ in San Francisco. Dozens of cops arrived in vans, wearing riot gear. Then the mostly peaceful protest escalated, ending w/police rushing the crowds, & arresting protesters. missionlocal.org/2025/06/sf-i...

JUST IN: San Francisco police officers were arresting dozens of people they had encircled on Monday night, following an earlier rally in which as many as 2,000 people marched through the Mission District to protest immigration deportations. Developing story: missionlocal.org/2025/06/sf-m...

One thing that really sucks about this is that sf voted for police machines without committee oversight, in like the March elections or something. Only 20% of the population showed up.
Heyo! I am in #SanFranciscoCA where a "ICE OUT OF THE BAY" protest in front of the Sansome St. ICE office was scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. So far, approximately. 75-100 people are here, many holding signs and a a lone SFPD officer is attempting to manage traffic on the intersection.
A worthwhile read
It's worthwhile to pause for a moment and think about what a military operation to establish control over a major American city - let's say Los Angeles - would actually look like. The city of LA, which excludes most of the metro area, has nearly 4 million inhabitants. LA county has 10 million.

Yesterday, the LAPD released a statement calling the protests peaceful. They had no reason to do that, except that it’s true. Meanwhile, the administration is planting instigators and inflaming tensions to justify its own lawless actions. No one, not even Trump, gets to trample the Constitution.
