After two weeks, the list is made public. We vet tf out of them, and then Lurie / BOS 👍 or👎.

Oh DOGE is gone? We should forget it ever existed? Let bygones be bygones?

Guess what motherfuckers. We're never going to forget. Did you work there? Did you do crimes? We'll find out, and we'll put you in prison. Do you think you covered your tracks? A hundred thousand technerds say otherwise.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

GrowSF is calling for a 10% signature threshold on the justification it will keep "half baked" initatives off the ballot. All that would do is ensure only well-heeled interests can run initatives, half baked or not.

There are process reforms that will do more good than changing the threshold. 🧵

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

In November 2026 the Bay Area will vote on whether or not to save & improve its transit service.

The Bay will also be voting on the next Governor of California.

I look forward to seeing which candidates for Governor also stump for the regional measure to fund transit

In a city full of NIMBYs, Connie Chan is one of the biggest. she’s also super anti-transit and opposed measure RR that saved Caltrain during the pandemic.

Meanwhile, Scott has led the cause for almost every pro-housing and transit bill

Scott vs. Connie is the definition of good governance vs. bad

Almost half the Waymos on California streets are driving around empty. They're either waiting for the next customer or en route for a pickup.

If robotaxis scale, anything close to that level of deadheading would create crushing gridlock.

I’m going, you should too! Fundraisers like this keep transit advocacy groups moving so we can keep the buses moving!

Heck, the views alone will be worth the price of entry. Add in the good company and vibes and this is an incredible deal!

If cars were any other consumer product, they would have built in speed limits to ensure safe operation. I can’t accidentally set my thermostat to 500F and burn down my house. So why can cars drive 75mph on city streets?
If cars were any other consumer product, they would be banned..

We don’t have to live this way. Too many of us know the grief—not just death from traffic violence, but long term, life changing injury and trauma. What kind of society could we have without it?

Without a Bay Area transit measure, Caltrain would have to
- run 1 train/hour
- stop service at 9pm
- stop weekend service
- close 1/3rd of stations

These cuts would be a disaster for riders and undermine the faster and more frequent service that boosted ridership 47% YoY since electrification.

I spend way too much time thinking about how we can cross the YIMBY / affordable-or-social-housing-only divide and I just can’t seem to figure it out.

We’re all excited about Mamdani and Wilson, tho, so maybe there are some clues in that.

Any thoughts?
