Vote #UnionStrong Vote for Connie Chan Union workers led the fight to secure our most basic rights and job safety regs. Next up: - Medicare for All - Universal childcare - Abolish ICE and fix our broken immigration system! + schools + homes That's Connie's Working People's Plan
Connie Chan: "Working people built San Francisco. I’m running for Congress to fight for them.

Proud to stand with @CaliforniaLabor and the overwhelming majority of unions in this race.

Together, we’ll take on billionaires and big corporations — and put San Francisco’s working families first.""Labor Stabds with Connie Chan" with her portrait bottom right surrounded by more than 40 local Union badges, including nurses, firefighters and teachers

We can't let AI Abundance Bros seat a bought-and-paid-for partner like Scott Wiener in Congress I'm voting for Connie Chan because she stands up for regular folks like me and you, over the Billionaires and Billionaire SuperPACs We need an affordable future for working families!
Connie Chan: 🚨 BREAKING: An Anthropic-backed super PAC is spending $3.5 million to elect Scott Wiener.

Last year, SF Public Press reported that Anthropic helped write his watered-down AI bill. 

Big AI wants to buy San Francisco's seat in Congress. I won’t let them."PUNCHBOWL NEWS.

Tech: Anthropic-backed group puts more toward
Wiener
An artificial intelligence policy group backed by Anthropic has put another $3
million in outside spending behind
Democratic California state Sen. Scott Wiener to succeed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), according to a source familiar with the matter.
Public First Action's contribution is a significant increase from the $500,000
that the safety group gave to a super PAC backing Wiener earlier this year.
The spending will be revealed in campaign finance disclosures due Thursday. It went to an outside pro-Wiener effort called Abundant Future in the third quarter, the source said

Another great morning planting trees with @sftrees.bsky.social ! Twist this time, more volunteers than usual! Working in the heart of Japantown, many hands make light work; each tree got a lot of extra love—so apologies to my group leader Rob who was amazing 😆 I'm always pushing for Step Next…

It's rare to have only two candidates up for a Supervisor seat here in SF One of them is Jack Dorsey 👎 and this guy has the best chance possible to break up the conservative coalition that's been corroding SF government since Lurie took over ...Best chance in a tough district.

Got 'em You wouldn't guess the tweet that finally got the attention of the Twitter Nazis...
Connie Chan: I am the only candidate in this race who has the moral clarity to call for a full arms embargo on the Israeli government.
Me quoting: Every Israel citizen is legally entitled to a lifetime of basic healthcare from birth.

Our gas is $6/gallon

I'm voting for people who promise to spend our money on us at home, to make our lives better, instead of on weapons abroad, to make somebody else's life worse.

You don't suppose the number of random non-food influencers suddenly doing "grill a steak" content for the first time absolutely ever is a weird coincidence or...? (Notice how the market peaked Oct 2014, and then steady decline until the pandemic Billionaire giveaway inflated the economy)

Defense players used their own mistakes to justify a once-unthinkable expansion of surveillance, espionage, and foreign excursionism that continues to choke and drain the world today. You take your shoes off at airports because 9/11 was exploited by Billionaires to sell us "safety" as service

Two combined volunteer experiences makes for quick work! Glad to be working with a fellow seasoned volunteer!Shout out to the guy who ACTUALLY does the work keeping these trees alive from the three year FUF new growth program. Thank you SO MUCHI was not as great with pictures this time, but here's the best of most of the whole crew. Go team!

The funny thing about Kurt Vonnegut going out to buy one envelope so he can see as many people as possible is that... I have 5 boxes of envelopes in a drawer here at home, and that says exactly what you think it does. 😤
(talking about when he tells his wife he’s going out to buy an envelope) "Oh, she says well, you’re not a poor man. You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I’m going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And, and ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don’t know. The moral of the story is, is we’re here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don’t realize, or they don’t care, is we’re dancing animals."
