UT’s actions cannot be explained as a financial necessity. The university has enormous resources, but those resources are being redirected toward a competing ideological vision of education.

In case you need another reason to repeal the Ellis Act, the Court of Appeal today ruled Ellis preempts SF's Empty Homes Tax. The Ellis Act, an industry-written state law that's been used to evict thousands of tenants, now somehow creates a right to keep any building vacant forever, per the court

The political purpose wears the human purpose like a suit of armor. The armor deflects critical questions-deflects, in other words, the reality of the War on Terror-in order to return the United States to the state of righteous victimhood we were encouraged to inhabit in the weeks after the attack.
Righteous victimhood licenses persecution and violence.

maybe it’s because I was a senior in high school when it happened, or maybe it’s because I’m from a military family, but to me the US response to 9/11 to has always felt like a theft.

I’ve learned that the $54m the mayor announced yesterday as new is in fact money that was already in the budget approved months ago. I’ve tried to give the benefit of the doubt, and welcomed his declaring a “rent emergency,” but it is not ok to mislead people like this.
Screenshot of Lurie’s social media statement:
“San Francisco is in a rent emergency, and we're taking action to help people stay in their homes.
Here is the legislation we're moving forward:
- When a property owner wants to raise the rent with banked rent increases and capital improvements they will be limited to 10% per year.
- When renters fall behind by less than one month of rent, they can't be evicted
- When a landlord takes a multi-unit property off the market, we are raising the amount they owe in relocation by 25%.
- For renters who are at risk of eviction, we are investing more than $54 million in emergency rental assistance, legal defense, and more.
We are also investing $3 million to expand Tenants Rights to Council and $1 million in a Know Your Rights Campaign.
We know there is more work to do, which is why we need to continue to build more homes so San Franciscans can afford to stay and build their futures here.
Thank you to our Board of Supervisors for supporting this work. We'll keep working every day to make San Francisco a place where people can put down roots and build their futures.”

Poverty is dirty, Mr. Vance. Not immigrants. And the only people to blame for poverty are the politicians and corporations who have ensured that every last drop of surplus is extracted from our blood and tears—with no safety net to hold us when we fall.

One of the messages people get from conservativeSF propaganda is that they should celebrate people making millions on technology that may destroy humanity while hating on people who dedicate their lives to helping homeless people. Sam Altman v. Jenny Friedenbach isn’t a tough choice.

Ecocide is often slow, but just as often it occurs quickly when a feedback loop is created in the wake of enormous reckless construction done rapidly to turn a profit. This is overwhelmingly a working class issue with broad appeal. If “kitchen table politics” were a real thing, it would be this.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
