This is why you should vote no on all recalls. If even one recall succeeds, they will never stop trying to subvert our democracy.

Means testing is always used as an excuse to do nothing or not enough. The government gives us crumbs anyway. Just give everybody the crumbs.

If you are against universal free school lunch, do you think we should charge for choir class? Spanish? History? I get that it feels weird to give free lunch to people who can afford to pay, but the data is clear that it's a small price to make sure low income kids are fed.
This is odd. Why is London Breed angry about a delay to an affordable housing project, when she does everything in her power to delay and block those? Oh. Because it's a toxic waste site. sfexaminer.com/news/housing/t
The Sunset's first 100% affordable housing project sits on

PCE is a colorless liquid used by dry cleaners and automotive industries to clean fabrics and degrease metals and is considered a likely carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency. Studies show that long-term exposure is associated with several types of cancer and other diseases, including Parkinson's.

A day after I released my Housing for All plan, the SF Board of Appeals delayed the construction of 100% affordable housing at 2550 Irving. This obstructionism is unacceptable. This project must move forward & we need to reform our laws so we can build the homes we badly need.

I wonder how David Sacks paying Michelle Tandler affects Twitter engagement in San Francisco. I wonder how much Jason Calacanis funding Erica Sandberg and Susan Reynolds affects it. I wonder how much Michael Shellenberger paying Tom Wolf and friends effects local engagement.

The absolute dumbest shit on Twitter today. Those were transformers blowing. "Everything's a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works"

Sad to hear about the earthquake in Turkey. It's very suspicious that there was lightening in the Sky before the disaster. If you don't know what project HAARP is then search it up. Coincidentally when Turkey was becoming a thorn in NATO's neck regarding Russia.

The Grammy’s have me feeling old. Never heard of the alternative band that won (wet leg?), but I know who Bonnie Raitt is.

Last 3 months were extremely tough, as had to save Twitter from bankruptcy, while fulfilling essential Tesla & SpaceX duties. Wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone. Twitter still has challenges, but is now trending to breakeven if we keep at it. Public support is much appreciated!

So, it’s a rainy Saturday and I’m doing housework and chores- so you wanna hear a really juicy bit of Instagram drama involving a popular rural Utah homesteading influencer with 7 kids and 38 hours in a day?

The amount of vitriolic responses to my tweet speaks volumes. I’m right and it’s causing the racists and fascists to have a conniption fit. this is your reader base. You amplify frauds and harm people.

You lied to your readers. They don’t live here. They don’t have kids in SFUSD.

To qualify for their program you have to be both racist and fascist. The first lesson is entitled “The Ann Hsu Lesson: Don’t Say The Quiet Part Out Loud” The grift is real and these carpetbaggers are trying to keep getting those VC fascist dollars.

My latest column: A year ago, Autumn Looijen and Siva Raj’s idea to recall the San Francisco school board worked. Now they have a new plan: training other newbies to enter SF politics too. Plus, I checked in with the three recalled commissioners… sfchronicle.com/sf/bayarea/hea

ready to call the tug-of-war between the gross negligence of SF government and the power of being the center of the AI revolution. SF remains super relevant for the next decade.

The absurd originalist doctrine has led us to be ruled by the tyranny of the dead.

🚨 The 5th Circuit just said govt cant temporarily disarm a person found to pose a threat to another & subject to a DV restraining order. It strains analogies to discard past laws disarming dangerous folks, but this is the key: the founders didnt care abt DV, so modern laws cant. twitter.com/JacobDCharles/…
