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.

“You can’t do anything without ID” she said.

“[DPW] confiscated her purse, which contained her birth certificate, ID & SS card, during an encampment clearing”

And that “affected her ability to access services.” 👇👇👇
NEW: City workers clearing encampments are supposed to notify residents to separate essentials from items being confiscated, and collect signed acknowledgements of doing so. Despite logging 588 clearings, SF could not produce a single signed document. www.sfpublicpress.org/san-francisc...

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."

More people could be losing IDs in encampment clearings, making it harder for them to access services and vote.

In response, the Homelessness Oversight Commission called on government agencies to prevent the loss of essential items. www.sfpublicpress.org/encampment-s...

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

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
