This gives me hope. That Calif can get serious about climate. That young people and new immigrants to Calif might have same privileges I did. That we can make transit work. And that we transit advocates can learn from this phenomenal work by housing activists

[VICTORY ALERT] Governor Newsom has signed SB 79, which will make it legal to build multi-family housing near high quality transit!

There's a bill on Gavin Newsom's desk right now that would stop monopoly utility companies from adding the costs of their lobbying and PR campaigns into customers' bills.

It's unclear if Newsome will sign the bill, despite 93% of voters agreeing with its premise.

Genuine respect for service members but I’m more concerned for all the women who’ve been brutalized and killed at the hands of our military

ACLU @aclu.org · 1d

All servicewomen serving in combat roles already have to meet stringent gender-neutral physical standards.

But Secretary Hegseth is intent on smearing those women as unqualified — and pushing all women out of military service.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Moves to Push Women Out of the Military

From eliminating the Pentagon’s gender advisory committee to misrepresenting women’s combat readiness, Hegseth’s record shows a clear campaign against women in uniform.

The new chief of staff at the San Francisco sheriff's dept. was filmed on video in 2020 shoving a Black Lives Matter protester to the ground.

He faced a criminal probe under the previous DA, but was ultimately cleared of wrongdoing.

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

Almost 9 months ago, our press colleague Anas Al-Sharif removed his press vest following the announcement of a ceasefire.

And then we saw what happened next. May we ensure the bombs actually end this time.

I wish he, and so many more, were here with us.

A Philly friend of mine is visiting San Francisco for the first time today and so far it’s glowing reviews for @bart.gov!

Love SEPTA, but this is something we’re definitely ahead of the game on.

I can’t think of a voter who is onboard with both “abolish ICE” and “send more cops to the city” but maybe my read on SF liberals is uncalibrated

Dang I missed that! My moral stance on that is a given, but I’m curious about the (seemingly nonexistent) strategy
