Saikat Chakrabarti wants to be the leftist successor to Nancy Pelosi. The media's even called him SF's Zohran Mamdani.

But some local progressives harbor deep suspicions of Chakrabarti's track record. Here's why:

What makes Saikat run?
In his race to beat Nancy Pelosi in 2026, Saikat Chakrabarti’s friends and allies are calling him San Francisco’s Zohran Mamdani. Progressives are a bit more moderate on him

Help Rion rebuild his life 💜

Rion has lived in Oakland’s Peralta Hacienda neighborhood for years, always with his dog Baby and kitten Atlas by his side. Despite being unhoused for over a decade, he’s kind, gentle, and takes pride in keeping himself and his space clean. 🧵

Huge thanks to everyone who came out for tonight’s serve and to Martin de Porres’s House of Hospitality for sharing their space. We served PB&Js, apples, carrots, and hot meals with salad. Fun fact: we’ve never missed a Friday share in the last 4 years. 🍀

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it.

This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.
Alt text: A tweet from Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) posted at 5:00 PM on February 25, 2025. The tweet states that Tulsi Gabbard is preparing a memo directing all intelligence agencies to identify employees who participated in the NSA’s "obscene, pornographic, and sexually explicit" chatrooms. The memo also calls for terminating their employment and revoking their security clearances, with a deadline set for Friday. The tweet has 254.7K views, 397 replies, 3K retweets, 12K likes, and 335 bookmarks.

I adore Food Not Bombs. I love all of them.

They fed me and gave me veggies when I was hungry.

And we are all welcome at my local F.N.B. regardless of financial or immigrant status or any other thing.

why do a swastika instead of, say, the three arrows? again, it desensitizes people, may confuse them of your intent or allow them to misrepresent it, and is triggering for victims of nazi persecution and their descendants.

And that's number four by my count. The Overton Window has been moving for a while but we might be looking back on Musk's salute as another turning point.

And when you refuse to call this out for what it is -- straight-up Nazism -- it helps it metastasize.

Thank you to everyone who came out for last night’s cook and share!
A group of people at a Food Not Bombs food share in the Quaker Meetinghouse of the San Francisco Society of Friends are serving food for themselves and others. The long table is filled with large bowls of salad, trays of mixed vegetables, and other dishes. Participants, all wearing masks (with their faces blurred for privacy), are using tongs to serve food into takeout containers. The background features a cozy room with framed pictures on the wall, books, and a green couch, creating a welcoming and communal atmosphere.

Join us tomorrow at 65 9th St to cook, eat, and share food with our unhoused neighbors and community! 💚🖤
A group photo of about 17 people gathered in a room with a wall covered in posters and printed materials. The people are sitting and standing close together, making various hand gestures, including peace signs and small heart signs with their fingers. Their faces are blurred for anonymity. The setting is a casual community space, the Quaker SF Society of Friend’s Meetinghouse, with a couch, a table with food items, and a wooden cabinet in the background. A two-panel meme featuring a soldier wearing camouflage and goggles, sitting on an armored vehicle in a war-torn landscape with destroyed buildings in the background. The top panel contains the text, “Hey friend listen, I know the world is scary right now but,” and the bottom panel zooms in on the soldier’s face with the continuation of the text, “the future is unknowable and will be determined by how hard we fight now for a loving world.” The meme conveys a hopeful message despite the grim, apocalyptic imagery.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing.

This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it.

No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

FOOD NOT BOMBS PRINCIPLES

1 - ALWAYS VEGAN OR VEGETARIAN & FREE TO EVERYONE
2 - EACH CHAPTER IS INDEPENDENT & AUTONOMOUS & MAKES DECISIONS USING THE CONSENSUS PROCESS
3 - FOOD NOT BOMBS IS NOT A CHARITY & IS DEDICATED TO NON-VIOLENT SOCIAL CHANGE
THE THREE PRINCIPLES OF FOOD NOT BOMBS ONE - ALWAYS VEGAN OR VEGETARIAN AND FREE TO EVERYONE Our food is vegan or vegetarian and free to anyone without restriction, rich or poor, stoned or sober. First, the potential for problems with food spoilage are greatly reduced when dealing strictly with plant based foods. Second, we want our food to reflect our dedication to nonviolence and that included violence against all beings including animals. We only prepare food which is strictly from plant sources so people will always know and trust Food Not Bombs that our food is safe and nonviolent. At times, we do get donations of dairy and meat products which might and redirect it to soup kitchens that aren't vegetarian because we believe eating is more important than being politically pure; however, we NEVER cook with animal products ourselves and only share breads that might have dairy when it is not possible to know for sure. TWO - EACH CHAPTER IS INDEPENDENT AND AUTONOMOUS AND MAKES DECISIONS USING THE CONSENSUS PROCESS Each Food Not Bombs chapter is autonomous and uses a process of consensus to make decisions. There are no leaders, presidents or directors, and no headquarters. Everyone in each chapter is encouraged to participate in the decision making including those who depend on Food Not Bombs for their meals. Your chapter may meet once a week or once a month but no one volunteer is empowered to tell the rest of the group how it is to operate and there is no headquarters to direct the activities of any chapter. The process of consensus is not voting or the use of "Robert's Rules of Order" where a majority determine the decisions. In consensus a decisions is not made until the proposal is one that everyone participating supports and can feel good giving their consent. There are a number of resources to help your chapter learn to use consensus on the web and you can also request support from volunteers who have been active in other Food Not Bombs groups. THREE - FOOD …

Credible death threats to politicians by right-wing extremists is a core part of Trump's authoritarian playbook, which is why Trump pardoned 1,500 credible-death-threat-making extremists on day one.

“our streets” means all of us. you included. you have as much a right as anyone to decide for yourself when, how, and where to engage in political action. it is perfectly okay to disagree with someone’s plan and make your own instead. you can give yourself permission.
