I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. Im furious that Jenkins enabled all this😢

Anthony Kennedy Is Trying To Find The Guy Who Did This The retired Supreme Court Justice who authored Citizens United is suddenly worried about the future of democracy.

Justice Anthony Kennedy literally wrote the Citizens United decision that is destroying democracy — and yet he’s now on a media tour saying he’s worried about democracy’s survival.

And somehow not one media outlet he’s granted an interview has asked him about Citizens United.

S.F. rent surge is outpacing every big U.S. city. Here’s what’s driving the increase San Francisco rentals are leasing faster and pricing higher than they have at any point since the pandemic.

This is what turning San Francisco's political leadership over to tech billionaires has done to our city. Rents and evictions are surging. For billionaires, this is cause for celebration. For everyone else, it's a disaster.

Rather than address it, City Hall seems determined to add fuel to the fire.

Gaza flotilla detainee from S.F. to be released from Israeli prison His mother, who's been fighting for her son Logan Hollarsmith's release from Israel, said only one San Francisco official has reached to her.

Logan Hollarsmith from San Francisco was a captain in the Gaza flotilla, & one of hundreds held in Israeli prison.

Mission Local learned tonight that he & 17 other U.S. citizens will be released. But his family wasn't told where he'll be sent.

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein blocked SC from giving DOJ voter data.

Last week Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ condemned Goodstein's ruling.

Yesterday Stephen Miller called "left wing judges & lawyers" as "terrorists requiring force."

Today Judge Goodstein's home is on fire, investigated for arson.

We should start a spay / neuter fund that offers animal care givers free vet care for a period if they bring their pet in to be spay/ neutered

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Why do we still have Jeffries and Schumer in leadership, then?

Most people don’t mvrder and commit suicide- period.

"Corruption is why hedge funds get to buy up all the houses in your neighborhood, driving you out of the market and then your corporate landlord ignores your calls during a gas leak." - @ossoff.bsky.social

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

It’s mind boggling that Dem leadership appears to think a strongly worded letter will prove they are fighting for democracy.

When Families Need Housing, Georgia Will Pay for Foster Care Rather Than Provide Assistance In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be chea...

In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a @wabe.org and ProPublica analysis found.

Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing.

Alex O'Keefe, Award-Winning Black Screenwriter, Pulled From Train After White Woman Objects To How He Was Sitting Alex O'Keefe, an award-winning Black screenwriter, was pulled from a train by the police after a white woman objected to his posture.

“An old white woman got on the train and immediately pointed at me and told me to correct how I was sitting. I refused, so she went to the conductor and complained. The conductor called the police and stopped the train. The police told me to leave the train.”

He is not really a president at this point-more like a barely legal wannabe dictator.I never understood why anyone would give him time of day.He was mobbed up for decades &should have been in prison at least a decade ago.Oh well.Thinking about Spain;will take too many years to recover from all this.

Brian Kilmeade apologizes for saying mentally ill homeless people should be killed Co-host of Fox & Friends issued on-air apology for ‘extremely callous’ remark

In a civilized society, a person who suggested murdering unhoused people would be forever shunned

Good! I know someone that had to wait 6 weeks to get a call back 😩

Judge Halts Operations at Everglades Detention Center With Preliminary Injunction

AMAZING NEWS! A judge has ruled that the Everglades Interment Camp must halt operations. They cannot receive new immigrants (thank GOD), and must tear down fencing and other aspects within 60 days. Essentially making it inoperable.

Did they pay for that privilege?
Or is Lurie just owned by tech?

California politics is so broken. Tech take over really has just made everyone insane.

Mayor Lurie takes credit for immigrant legal funding he had little to do with San Francisco Mayor Lurie’s office touted a private philanthropic grant as its doing. But in reality, his role was minor.

Under pressure to do more to help immigrants in SF, the Mayor apparently issued a press release claiming credit for funds that had already been granted to Public Defender from a foundation. Kudos to @missionlocal.org for reporting on this. Press release mayors have been gaming media for far too long

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Because I am angry I will share this again. One of the reasons that Israel is able to target individuals so precisely is that it collects every phone call in Gaza and stores the recordings in Microsoft Azure, then uses AI to analyze and pick targets.

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

I recently complained/asked how to stop (there were no good answers) the Democratic fundraising texts. A friend shared this piece about what a total scam it is: "$11 million of the $678 million raised from individuals has made its way to candidates, campaigns, or the national party committees."

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Yep! I don’t think Lurie is particularly happy it continues. He gave TSA everything they asked for. (Within budgetary scope now).

Good! You deserve it 🥰

Enjoy🦅
