66 buildings in S.F. face foreclosure after Veritas defaults on $652M debt
Tranche of 1,566 units could be sold as soon as December by San Francisco's former No. 1 landlord, barring deal or repayment of huge debt.
The city should buy this portfolio and leverage Prop I revenue to make it happen. This would be consistent with the vision of the voters, the BOS, and our office in passing Prop I in 2020. Let’s seize the opportunity to jumpstart a real social housing program and do this now!

Lots of people enjoying Sunset Dunes on a beautiful day.
Four years ago, SSR was started to make the great highway permanently car-free. Now, sunset dunes is one of SF's most popular parks. Like the embarcadero and central freeway removals, there may be more fights ahead, but we're not going back.

The DSA SF delegation had a fantastic time at the 2025 @demsocialists National Convention. We spent 3 days with 1500+ comrades from all over deliberating resolutions, reflecting on the last decade and planning for the next, and building connections to defeat fascism and transform this country.

The Annexation of the West Bank Is Complete | Jasper Nathaniel
The Western media remains largely oblivious to the bureaucratic coup redrawing the map of the West Bank. Annexation, for all intents and purposes, is complete.
Israel’s annexation of the West Bank is, for all intents and purposes, complete. @infinitejaz.bsky.social reports on the steps the country has taken to expedite the process since October 7.

SFPD deputy chief says police can’t ‘sit by’ and watch ICE agents get hurt
A San Francisco police chief said this week that the police department may need to help keep the peace between ICE agents and protesters.
While ICE illegally kidnaps residents and attacks nonviolent protesters in our Sanctuary City, SFPD Deputy Chief says police may need to protect ICE agents against protesters.
Seems like SFPD brass thinks police are ICE’s body guards.
Mayor needs to direct SFPD to protect immigrants & protesters

Opposing Mayor Lurie's Inhumane RV Ban
DSA SF is organizing opposition to Daniel Lurie’s two-hour restriction on RV parking, which has been passed by the SF Municipal Transit Agency and will go in front of the Board of Supervisors in July ...
🚨 ACTION ALERT: San Francisco’s Mayor is the heir to a billion-dollar fortune, yet he’s criminalizing, not eliminating, poverty in the most expensive region in the nation.
Oppose the SF RV ban which will push poor, vulnerable residents out of the city:

The third is that this kind of record-shattering rain (caused by slow-moving torrential thunderstorms) event is *precisely* that which is increasing the fastest in warming climate. So it's not a question of whether climate change played a role--it's only a question of how much.

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.

How a GOP Rift Doomed A Ban On State AI Laws in Trump Tax Bill
A stark disagreement over regulating AI in Republicans' tax cut and spending bill killed an effort to ban state AI regulations.
Conservative advocates for AI guardrails won, revealing the influence of a segment of the GOP that has come to distrust Big Tech.
They want states to remain free to protect citizens against potential big tech harms, whether from AI, social media or emerging technologies.

menlo park also a completely different context than the mission or west oakland. parking lots are generally bad wherever though. best case is the lot in West Berkeley that ended up in the hands of the Sogorea Te Land Trust who say they want to restore strawberry creek that flows below

The budget bill opens the floodgates for state surveillance tech and bad AI
Silicon Valley wins big in the accelerated authoritarianism of Trump's beautiful bill
The new budget law will be an absolute bonanza for state surveillance tech, AI grifters, and Silicon Valley giants that are increasingly comfortable abetting the authoritarian project to remake the US state.

Mahmood Mamdani · The Asian Question: On Leaving Uganda
President Yoweri Museveni was careful not to refer to Asians as citizens; he explained that they were ‘investors’,...
A thing that makes that Times story especially odious is that Zohran Mamdani's father was LITERALLY expelled from Uganda during Idi Amin's fascist effort to scapegoat Asian Ugandans as not really African www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
