Seriously, imagine thinking in this historical moment that the way to increase accountability is to increase executive power
San Francisco already has a strong mayor system, but that’s not enough for those who want full control vested in billionaires.
Just in time for No Kings Day, Lurie and Mandelman argue “Giving more power to the mayor would create more “accountability.”
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
or did
“Johnson asked if Wong will work to move the 1234 Great Highway [Prop I funded, 199-unit] affordable housing project forward….
Wong, in his fourth month as the Sunset supervisor, punted. I’m still developing my policy perspective on this,” he said.”
Unacceptable.
This is the Republican Party now.
MTA killed 365 units of affordable housing citing funding constraints. Prop I tax revenue could have been used to fund these homes but Lurie refuses to spend that $ on housing. And now he & the YIMBY supervisors are trying to abolish the tax to enrich billionaires instead of building social housing.
“Jenkins made clear she’s firmly pro-billionaire, labor unions be damned.”
Exposing him as a liar doesn’t work. Everyone knows he is a liar. Trump wants everyone to know he is lying and breaking the law. He basks in the reality that he can lie every minute of every day and get away with it. To him, that’s the ultimate power. The power to lie and break the law with impunity
The same week he is calling for $100 million worth of cuts to city jobs, the Mayor and the D5 Supe introduced a $100 million tax break for billionaires

“A new study by urban planning and public policy researchers from UC Berkeley, UCLA, Georgia Institute of Technology, and University of Toronto suggests that reforming entitlement and zoning laws will do little to address housing affordability.”
“Sherrill says he got his job because he was qualified”
“Sherrill was largely unknown in the community, and had no legislative experience. He was a protégé of Bloomberg in New York City and held a Bloomberg-funded position in San Francisco City Hall. He was, furthermore, a former Republican”
BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.
BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing new legislation to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half.
A chunk of the money raised would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.
The U.S. war on Iran is clearly unconstitutional. Members of the military have the right, and in some cases have the duty, to refuse illegal orders.
What in the hell??????????????????????????
The “Third Way” working harder to stop @aoc.bsky.social than they do to stop Trump.

Trump has no power to “decree” that voters must present ID or to end mail-in balloting. But that doesn’t mean he can’t at least try both.

“If you thought the San Francisco moderates would be happy now that they’ve taken over the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor’s office, you’d be wrong.”
@bunnythedoc.bsky.social follows the money in this new BAS piece
🚨BREAKING: Democracy Docket has obtained a draft of the executive order being circulated with the White House that would allow Trump to take unprecedented control over voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Good to ban it, but why assume what happened was legal?
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
from strongly worded letter to weakly worded statement

Donald Trump in 2012: "Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate."
👍
Trump and Republicans are:
-Trying to ram through a bill that would disenfranchise millions of voters
-Considering an EO that would allow Trump to take over elections
-Proposing to station ICE agents at polling places
They’re trying to rig their way to victory. We won’t let them.
Lurie is making the mistake Breed made: beating up on SF for short term political gain. Thought it would be ok because he was just defaming DSA but national press doesn’t distinguish between the left and SF’s corporate Dems.
“Lurie is not particularly helping SF’s image at the moment,” writes SFist
