As Killer Mike succinctly put it:

“Never forget, in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the State”

All of us serve the same masters, all of us nothin' but slaves / Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state
In the Bible, Jesus was ordered to be crucified by Pontius Pilate, a governor of the Roman Empire. In other words, Jesus’ death was enforced by government authority—the state. https://cdn.newsapi.com...

Last words from Joe Eskenazi, quoting someone whose name I missed: “Be careful how you vote”

Saikat: this is our moment to transform Congress and the country - join the movement

Scott: this is our moment to pick someone to succeed Pelosi, a skilled legislator, and we need a worthy replacement

Chan: I came to Chinatown as a 13yo, and I’m honored to be here, living the American dream

Closings in one sentence:

All “no” on “Daniel Lurie spends too much time on social media”
January 8, 2026 at 3:52 AM
Wiener also a no on support of 2018 Prop C (others yes)

San Francisco, California, Proposition C, Gross Receipts Tax for Homelessness Services (November 2018)

Most interesting thing all evening: Wiener abstaining from “is Israel committing genocide in Gaza” (others yes). The room rises in contempt, jeers, calls of “Free Palestine”
January 8, 2026 at 3:52 AM
Mostly all yes on questions about progressive policies (ban congressional stock trading, CA high speed rail, expand the Supreme Court)
January 8, 2026 at 3:52 AM
Lightning round yes/no

(Editor’s note: yikes)

Chan: can we ask “do you like boba?”
January 8, 2026 at 3:52 AM
Chan: I’m an ally, we need a coalition of allies to protect the LGBTQ community. As a first-generation Asian American immigrant, I know that when they come for one group they’ll come for others next

“Allyship. Big Tent. Coalition” (delivered with the stops implied by the periods)

Saikat: it’s not enough to take back Congress, we need the right Democrats, last time they tried to exclude trans people from the Equality Act.
January 8, 2026 at 3:45 AM
How will you pass the Equality Act?

Scott: abolish the filibuster, pass comprehensive civil rights legislation
January 8, 2026 at 3:44 AM
Saikat: I support taxing billionaires and centimillionaires. Watching life be a lottery - where I got lucky at the right place at the right time - radicalized me.
January 8, 2026 at 3:42 AM
Scott: progressive tax is important, points to attempts to restore estate taxes in CA. Critical reauthorization of school-funding income tax will be on the ballot. I want to see exactly what measure lands on the ballot before formally expressing my support - some ongoing debate between labor unions

(I’ve been a little hard on her all night, not undeservedly, so let me add a note that she delivered this answer really well in a way I can’t capture in text)
January 8, 2026 at 3:41 AM
Chan: Billionaires might soon be trillionaires. They threaten to leave California to go to Florida, that’s why we need the wealth tax to be federal.
January 8, 2026 at 3:41 AM
California may soon be voting on a tax on billionaires; billionaires are displeased, as is Gavin Newsom. What say you?
January 8, 2026 at 3:41 AM
More of the same from Scott, asks how we can get the good (accelerated drug development, etc) without the bad (revenge porn, chatbots telling kids to commit suicide). Newsom vetoed my AI safety law, we eventually managed to pass disclosure of AI safety procedures
January 8, 2026 at 3:36 AM
Scott: shameful there is no federal data privacy law; it’s 2025 and

Moderator: I hate to interrupt, but it’s 2026

Room erupts in laughter
January 8, 2026 at 3:36 AM
Chan: technology big in SF, has been for a long time. We need regulation, look at what happened with Waymo during the blackout. “I wish I could control my 12 year old’s use of technology but I can’t.” Talks about regulating AI telehealth, rights for artists to control their work, all need fed regs
January 8, 2026 at 3:34 AM
Oh the others also get to answer
January 8, 2026 at 3:34 AM
Regulations not effective enough - they fine $1M per instance, the companies spend $1M every 20 mins. We need to control AI, not their current owners. Points to German auto industry, where gov’t, labor, and industry all on corporate boards.
January 8, 2026 at 3:31 AM
Saikat-specific question about AI: what do?
January 8, 2026 at 3:31 AM
Chan: rent too high, cost of living too high. Need to fix immigration policy, affirm birthright citizenship and invest in pathways to citizenship. Federal gov’t needs to fund gender affirming care, and Medicare for All. Need to invest in education, childcare, K-12, free community college for all
