Attn political reporters: please note & remember (for next time a D is in office) that everything Republicans ever said about Democratic bills being "too long" was, obviously, bad-faith bullshit. Everything they said about bills they "didn't have time to read" was, obviously, bullshit.

@bart.gov when two SF/East Bay-bound trains are at SFO station, why don’t announcement signs clearly and correctly show which train will be leaving first?

Good for Chemerinsky & the other deans who signed this. The deans of the many, many big name law schools (e.g., Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, U of Chicago, etc.) who were too cowardly to sign deserve universal contempt.

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

If Mayor Lurie wants to be serious about downtown recovery then he needs to be serious about preventing Muni’s service cuts. They cannot be allowed to happen! Send a letter to city hall today! muniforever.org/speak-up missionlocal.org/2025/02/mayo...

RFK really missed the simplest lesson of LBJ’s career, try not to get any kids killed if your name rhymes with “how many kids did you kill today”

I’m curious, @peterbakernyt.bsky.social, would you write a flippant story like this if leaders of Russia or China repeatedly referred to taking over even the tiniest sliver of the United States?
