Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.

Four years ago, I visited Dilworth to see for myself how the old fire station was putting safety for both our firefighters and the many communities they serve at risk. In 2023 we got the money to make it happen, and yesterday we celebrated a brand new station.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, in fact, a criminal

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

Amazing turnout on a beautiful day to celebrate the Sunset Dunes / Ocean Beach Park! I was proud to be one of 5 supervisors to put it on the ballot last year (for which I’ve now been sued) and proud of the voters of SF for passing it. This is a great change for our City. Come enjoy this new park!

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Earlier this year, employees began to fear bad actors, could target people for punishment by declaring them dead: “Anybody granted the appropriate permissions within Social Security could mark someone as dead, employees had realized, without having to prove their demise in any way” wapo.st/3RKSQQt

Fail, @golden.house.gov Mastery of the simple, obvious and wrong is not a useful skill. Show me data that non-citizen voters are a significant factor in elections. You are not solving a real problem while imposing a significant burden on many citizens. That's waste and voter suppression.

I will surely come up with something thoughtful to say about the proposal to cut NASA's science budget in half, and especially one that reminds everyone that the cosmos is worth our curiosity and NASA explores it quite cheaply but also, FUCK FUCK FUCK, that's a major cut to climate change science 🧪

What strikes me is that people such as Grenell, in a position of authority and privilege, are so threatened by people of different colors or gender identity, and by the thought that just maybe not everyone starts at a position of equal opportunity. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

One of the most disheartening experiences for me over the past 80 days has been the shattering of the illusion I harbored that academia (particularly wealthy private institutions filled with smart people) would uphold and fight for the ideas and values we cherish.

This is bad transportation policy and bad politics. Immediately after Lurie's new appointment to the SFMTA Board casts the deciding vote to cut bus service on Market, particularly for long routes from the outer parts of the city, he's now setting Market up to become clogged with broken robots.

I’m saying this in my capacity as an author and once and future library worker: Read whatever the hell you want. I cannot impress enough on you that the “important” books aren’t important if you don’t jive with them. The popular books, the canon, the whatever. Read what you want.

Everything that the United States, and by extension the world, is going through right now can all be characterized as “change.” It’s a good reminder that lazily voting for “change” can absolutely result in things getting much, MUCH worse.
