“The sad thing about surviving several historical catastrophes is that you grow old like everybody else, and after spending your strength resisting fascism you still need one or two meals a day.” - Victor Serge, _Last Times_, trans. Manheim/Greeman, 49

@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

"Residents said the deepest betrayal came from Melgar—SF’s only Latina supervisor at the time—who had personally visited the Winston Drive community over the years, promising families they would not be forced out without a safe alternative."

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

Direct quote from the front desk at a Burbank hotel: “if ICE was staying here, I wouldn’t be able to divulge that… but I can confidently tell you they are not and you should keep up the good work because it’s a topic of conversation at every hotel in the city right now, so keep the pressure on.”

I recently met a senior in Brownsville who's been on the waitlist for affordable housing for seven years. This crisis is pushing New Yorkers out of the city they built. We need robust public sector investment to build hundreds of thousands of truly affordable homes now.

SFMTA is adding left turns back to Valencia at 17th, 21st and 23rd streets with a new phase. Signal modifications take $$$ that could've gone to safety/transit priority, and this will cut down on time for ped/bike crossing. Word is Mayor Lurie ordered this.

This is a human rights atrocity. And on top of that, it's gonna devastate the communities these people live in. Take Springfield Ohio, of eating dogs and cats fame. That city was DYING and has been completely revitalized by the influx of Haitian immigrants. This will undo all of that rebuilding

one way to view ffpt advocacy is a premise: subsidy available is endogenous to what it’s spent on. that voters would embrace taxes for ffpt more readily than for frequency increases. you don’t ask how best to allocate a dollar because it won’t be there under certain allocations.

These are exactly the same tactics that San Francisco and San Jose's mayors are now emulating.

In reading @karenhao.bsky.social's book about OpenAI it's remarkable how many times they fret that AI could be used by authoritarian regimes to manufacture propaganda, and then conclude, "All the more reason to roll it out as fast as possible, so that we, who are good, control it!" Whew

I wrote about why Zohran Mamdani's free bus fare policy is a good idea actually, why Jarrett Walker's critique below is wrong, and the difference between thinking about transit as a consultant versus as a voter and activist.

6 of our 11 supervisors were SF YIMBY endorsed or appointed by an SF YIMBY endorsed mayor. All of them will almost certainly back this NIMBY mass displacement plan. That’s as good an illustration as any of why I’m not a YIMBY.

In SF there had been a false rumor that BART was going to shut down the 24th St station before the protest planned to meet there last night. Glad it wasn't true (or, if there had been a real basis for it, that someone talked BART management into reconsidering).
