Good news! California legislators are: -REJECTING Gov Newsom's proposed transit cuts -Proposing a $750M in loans to Bay Area transit agencies to prevent immediate service cuts Call Newsom & tell him to take the deal! Let's save transit! www.movecalifornia.org/state-funding

He pivots immediately from this to a proposal to evict people living in RVs citywide. Beyond parody. Fuck Daniel Lurie

Only 11 Congresspeople—not including Pelosi—signed a letter demanding safe passage for the Gaza freedom flotilla. Saikat says he’d have joined them.

the only departaments budget not being cut by the mayor is SFPD they are getting a raise

Border and Rule is available for free download! I wrote a book spanning ICE & borders, Palestine & policing, colonialism & global fascism - in service to internationalist struggles. I can no longer travel to US, but this book (as well @silkys13.bsky.social & @micahh.bsky.social 's) can come to you

San Francisco: Thousands are protesting against ICE and deportations by the Trump administration; in solidarity to protests in Los Angeles; so far only verbal clashes with police officers after larger number of arrests yesterday

a lot of bus stops in SF are literally just a pole you have to stand next to, but today some guerilla-installed benches suddenly appeared diy cozy architecture >>>>>

Liberals fear that if people act unruly, Trump will be able to impose totalitarian control. That gets things backwards. Trump is already imposing totalitarian control. That's what is driving people into the streets. It's too late to avoid this fight. We can be passive and lose—or give it our all.

Large anti ICE march in SF tonight. This is a long line of police vans following the end of the march. Hope it all ends peacefully with fewer arrests than last night…

stay safe! avoid kettles!!

About 200 protestors including families and young children marched peacefully down 1st St in Boyle Heights chanting “ICE out of LA” and “The people united, will never be divided.”

#NoIce San Francisco demands protection for everyone and an end to authoritarian ICE actions in our country!!! Protect immigrants’ rights!!!!

Anti-ICE protest filling the streets at 24th & Mission in San Francisco #ICEprotest #fuckICE

as a transit fan, I wish I could embrace Scott Wiener as a supporter of transit funding. but unfortunately he's also attacked/defamed pro-Palestine activists, contributing to a neo-McCarthyist atmosphere on this issue that plays directly into fascists' hands. case in point getting Dr. Marya fired

What began as a peaceful protest outside SF’s ICE office Sunday night ended in chaos with more than 60 people arrested. Over 500 demonstrators took to the streets in solidarity with Los Angeles, where Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to suppress protests against federal immigration raids.

Two anti-ICE protests scheduled for Monday in San Francisco: - 12 noon at 455 Golden Gate Ave, organized by unions (see poster below) - 6pm at 24th & Mission BART, supported by @indivisiblesf.bsky.social

There is, umm, a lot going on in California right now. But the state budget waits for no one, and public transit funding is still at risk. Activate your fellow riders this week with flyers. Let them know that the service they depend on may not exist next year without restoration of state funds.

🚨 SFPD has protestors and press kettled 🚨

Fuck Daniel Lurie

From LA to the Bay: ICE OUT! Join us for an emergency solidarity Mass Mobilization on Monday, June 9, 6 PM at 24th & Mission BART Plaza. #SFPol #USPol #ICE

David Graeber said this in 2012 about protests in New York City. Though this is increasingly what is happening this week in Los Angeles. davidgraeber.org/articles/con...

I’m disabled and can easily faint if standing for a few min on a bad symptom day. My friends are doing the good work to improve my life and the lives of others and I’m forever grateful 🫶

The Bay Area shows up tonight outside of the ICE building in downtown SF in solidarity with LA and all our immigrant neighbors. #MeltICE #ChingaLaMigra

benches have gone up at bus stops around the Mission and parts south. thanks sfbabc.org !! everybody deserves comfort and dignity while waiting for the bus

SFPD with riot weapons in a standoff with a growing crowd. Love to the Bay homies

Full list of brave people the Israel Occupation Forces have kidnapped in international waters today

Be careful, friends, when you read accounts of what is happening in LA. We will hear a lot about violence, and it is essential to remember who is defining that term. "When state actors refer to peace, they are really taking about order..." (@prisonculture.bsky.social and @mskellymhayes.bsky.social)

I’m on the ground in San Francisco at a community protest in solidarity with Los Angeles and all communities resisting ICE. There are about 100 people gathered on the corner of Sansome and Washington. There is a small police presence .

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.

I honestly don't know why people are worried about the "optics" of these protests. The videos are of a whole community deciding to get in the way of unjust and unlawful kidnappings by showing up en masse and throwing an awesome block party, and the feds just firing unprovoked into them repeatedly.

full blown police riot in progress. never let them reframe this.

don’t forget: waymos and other robotaxis are surveillance devices on wheels that police are increasingly tapping for footage
