Folsom Street Fair started as a protest of gentrification back in 1984, as San Francisco criminalized the bathhouses in SoMa and the rest of the city. #folsomstreetfair #gentrification #leatherdistrict

“The Lobby” is the documentary that was censored on Al Jazeera America when it came out; you see how immense the Israel lobby in the US has been since before October 7. It’s up on the Electronic Intifada’s YouTube. #israelism #theencampments #thelobby

Manny Yekutiel owns the “social justice cafe” Manny’s at 16th & Valencia and is running to oversee the Castro and Noe Valley. It’s pathetic that in the supposedly liberal bastion of San Francisco a lot of people have yet to remove their endorsements of Manny.

FLOCK hires lobbyists who resort to lying to sell its surveillance cameras to cities across the US. Just one example: Trevor Chandler, who worked for AIPAC before getting a job at FLOCK, claimed FLOCK partnered with the ACLU in New Mexico. Never happened.

Blackstone keeps acquiring property in SF & every time they do I am reminded how Daniel Lurie brags about Blackstone gobbling up of more & more of the city. Blackstone owns more data centers than anyone else in the US; shared hotel guestlists w/ ICE; & its CEO is tight w/ Trump & Howard Lutnick
