Our legislation to ban federal & local law enforcement from extreme masking (SB 627) just received final sign-off from the Senate & is on its way to the Governor.
Law enforcement wearing ski masks isn’t normal. We don’t need or want secret police in California. Enough.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.
Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.

The “real doom loop” is the dramatic aging of the Bay Area. There aren’t enough kids or young people.
The reason? Housing, housing, housing — a profound housing shortage that’s pushing out young families & young people generally.
We need to build so many more homes. We’re working hard to do that.

This is the real doom loop. It will change everything about life in the Bay Area
Already one of the oldest parts of the U.S., the San Francisco metro area is aging faster than any other major region. It will change every aspect of our lives.

Great video by New York Mayoral candidate @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on how protected busways are a no-brainer. They move a lot more people with a lot less space, which is just common sense in a dense and growing city.
Common sense.
Cuomo and Adams would probably prefer billionaires-only lanes.

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.
So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

ICE is getting more violent, including yesterday in SF, with masked ICE agents — or ICE vigilantes/bounty hunters — assaulting protesters. ICE’s brutal violence is about to be turbocharged by Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. We need to speak out against the fascist police state they’re creating. Keep it up!
