For years people made fun of big tech for inventing things that already exist and they responded with their magnum opus: inventing fascism. Incredible work

Other than the false hope that luxury housing will trickle down and become affordable to working class people, what’s the Mayor/BOS plan for meeting SF’s affordable housing goals?

The Safeway development proposals are strikingly similar. Yet the responses from YIMBY politicians are polar opposites, siding with neighbors in the Marina while ignoring neighbors’ pleas in the Fillmore.

This is exposing the racism, classism, and hypocrisy at the core of SF’s housing discourse.

Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

It's incredible that we let billionaires bloviate about their policy views without throwing tomatoes at them. We know what they want, they want policies that work for a few dozen people and immiserate the other 300 million. Not interested!

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis
