Mayor Lurie Wants to Silence the Voice of the People: Vote No on A, D, E and F
by Christin Evans There are four so-called “Charter Reform” ballot measures on the November ballot that we should all oppose: Propositions A, D, E and F.  While each measure does something sli…

Lurie has shown his overt disdain for democratic institutions… his approach to D4 coupled with his push to eliminate city commissions shows he lacks interest in good governance and public participation in navigating our city’s future. His is a billionaire agenda where the uber rich are in control👇

Can we start calling Emily Hoeven our city’s Ezra Klein? I get the pressure that reporters have to produce bait content, but this is just a really, really bad take.

Benioff has always been out of touch & has tilted towards false narratives that serve his own self interest. Dreamforce gives him a media megaphone which he used in 2018 to demand homeless solutions, in 2023 for more policing and 2025 cronyism. This isn’t new, this is the Benioff playbook.

This week there were two pretty contentious community meetings about Upzoning. There are the legit concerns people are articulating about Mayor Lurie’s Upzoning plan. The question is — if and when amendments & an alternative plan is put forward, would the Mayor & all Supes embrace it? 1/

Trump's ignorant and cruel Executive Order today on homelessness sounds eerily familiar to those of us in San Francisco, where self-described "moderate" politicians have been using nearly identical messaging for years. Stop acting like Trump and start housing people with the support they need.

Sweeps👏 are👏counterproductive👏 “You can’t do anything without ID” she said. “[DPW] confiscated her purse, which contained her birth certificate, ID & SS card, during an encampment clearing” And that “affected her ability to access services.” 👇👇👇

Jfc. There are so many other alternatives than offering the same congregate shelter again and again, and expecting a different result… this strategy of arresting people is cruel & futile.

Imagine an opposition party pushing for such wildly popular things as fully funded public education, social housing, universal health care, and paid family leave, while condemning fascists, calling out disinformation, and voting against right wing legislative proposals, instead of normalizing them

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

The city by the bay has tens of thousands of vacant units and roughly 8,000 homeless, but will its vacant home tax have any effect?
