Two cops in SF types the wrong license plate number into their patrol car's computer, arrested the wrong person for car theft. Then the SF DA's office spent a year prosecuting him before he ultimately killed himself.

A Driver’s Fatal Spiral After a Police Officer’s Typo
Police thought they had caught a car thief in San Francisco. Instead, they had mistyped his license plate number, a watchdog agency said, then arrested him with excessive force.

A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.

In 2020 we taxed the rich to raise the money to build social housing in SF. That should have started a period of collaboration to ramp up social housing. Instead, industry-aligned “moderate” pols who call themselves “pro-housing” refused to spend the money on housing and now seek to repeal the tax

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

The "reactionary colorblindess" of the right-wing justices has reached its logical conclusion in finding that it is racist NOT to let Louisiana—and any other state for that matter—discriminate on the basis of race in voting. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
What we can expect in the aftermath of this ruling is for more Republican-controlled states to implement discriminatory maps and call them partisan so they can pass legal muster. In practical terms, this will likely mean fewer nonwhite representatives in Congress. Diminishing the power of minority voters may also allow the Republican Party to continue on its path from reactionary color-blindness to more overt racism, safe in the assumption that it will not have to answer to constituents who oppose such racism because they are its targets. There is little risk in attacking people who lack the power to remove you from office.

“San Francisco and California’s pretext stop restrictions led to dramatic, statistically significant reductions in stops for Black, Latino and white drivers in the city — all without generating changes in drug, gun or contraband discoveries. These effects were immediate.”
sfchronicle.com
San Francisco banned this racially biased police practice. The results are remarkable
OPINION: Data shows that a ban on pretext stops did not result in fewer drug, gun or contraband discoveries, nor did it result in the apprehension of fewer criminals, Parambir Dhillon writes.
