Can we start calling Emily Hoeven our city’s Ezra Klein?
I get the pressure that reporters have to produce bait content, but this is just a really, really bad take.

Benioff has always been out of touch & has tilted towards false narratives that serve his own self interest.
Dreamforce gives him a media megaphone which he used in 2018 to demand homeless solutions, in 2023 for more policing and 2025 cronyism.
This isn’t new, this is the Benioff playbook.

What a crock of shit from Marc Benioff — who appears willfully ignorant of news and facts and so thirsty for approval and attention from the Trump tech bros (who in the past mocked him relentlessly) that he is soiling himself in public www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

This week there were two pretty contentious community meetings about Upzoning. There are the legit concerns people are articulating about Mayor Lurie’s Upzoning plan.
The question is — if and when amendments & an alternative plan is put forward, would the Mayor & all Supes embrace it? 1/

Trump's ignorant and cruel Executive Order today on homelessness sounds eerily familiar to those of us in San Francisco, where self-described "moderate" politicians have been using nearly identical messaging for years.
Stop acting like Trump and start housing people with the support they need.

Jfc. There are so many other alternatives than offering the same congregate shelter again and again, and expecting a different result… this strategy of arresting people is cruel & futile.
"Frye has lived in the Panhandle since he was a year old, Dodson said. He grew up playing rugby and skateboarding. At 10 years old, tragedy struck. His father died, and just months later, Dodson shot and killed her abusive ex-husband Floyd Hollis outside their home."

Imagine an opposition party pushing for such wildly popular things as fully funded public education, social housing, universal health care, and paid family leave, while condemning fascists, calling out disinformation, and voting against right wing legislative proposals, instead of normalizing them
