Something to remember about why we get service cuts & things don't work. Earlier this year the Supes put on a show & “reluctantly” allowed $61M for SFPD overtime. Well, this year SFPD proposed $71M for OT, but Lurie’s top cop is trying to raise it to $80M. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/h...

We need a LOT more than just zoning changes if we want to change this, notably PUBLIC investment in building housing. And if this map bugs you, you should vocally oppose SF's practice of pushing tickets out of state on unhoused and RV-dwelling people instead of housing them here.

If we say defund the police we're expected to have a perfect, ironclad, completely worked out in advance public safety proposal to replace them with but honestly even just abolishing police overnight and doing nothing else might make us net safer.

This weekend, we showed our power. We ran No Kings AND supported the emergency mobilization at 478 Tehama by Bay Resistance, Mission Action, and the We Fight Back Coalition to shut down the ICE office. We held the space for 2 days and closed out strong at 4 PM today. THANK YOU ALL!!!! #SFPol #ICE

Don't block the view! The first 20 feet from the corner is a No Parking zone. 20 feet is just over 1 car length, and is also about the width of half of a typical Berkeley lot. This is a California state law.

These injuries were not inflicted by ICE or federalized guardsmen or imaginary agitators. They were inflicted by LAPD and LASD, under the direction of a supposedly democratic mayor, against people who came out to protest peacefully against fascism and racist kidnappings of our neighbors.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Bay Resistance and Mission Action are holding an emergency mobilization at 478 Tehama at 7 AM. This is a legitimate action. We are asking everyone who can to attend. In the meantime, the NO KINGS Mobilization is still ongoing. We will begin at 11:30 at Dolores Park as planned. #SFPol #ICE

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

I was sad to see my favorite writers on the SF Chronicle's editorial side, @soleilho.com and @nuala.bsky.social, leave, but now I see they left to start an independent media collective with some other great journalists. Let's go! givebutter.com/coyotemedia

with the bar so low for safe bike infrastructure, it's hard to strike the balance after a project between "hooray! it's so much better!" and "this, that, and the other thing still suck." SBSF as usual goes sharply in the latter direction. I'm happier than ever with Valencia, but they're not wrong

San Francisco "used parking laws and construction projects to displace RV residents, even as internal emails flagged legal, logistical and ethical concerns." "These vehicle homes sheltered dozens of working-class Latinx families, who could no longer afford the city." #California #USA #Housing
