If any candidate is unfit for whatever reason, or the broader electorate can’t in good faith approve, let the adults (people trying to solve problems v creating them) choose.

One chance. Sort your shit D4. You’ve wasted too much of this city’s time and money. Find a competent leader.

✋ someone who does not assume to know the rules of this whole-ass game. And with that said…

D4: pick 5 candidates via rank choice in the next two weeks using your own money and influence (not city money).

After two weeks, the list is made public. We vet tf out of them, and then Lurie / BOS 👍 or👎.

Come celebrate the hard work my advocacy homies over at @sftru.bsky.social are doing to keep MUNI moving for us! 😻🎉🚎✨

my kid: why are there cars driving on the train tracks?

I took the Starlight a few weeks ago, so nice. <3

Oh DOGE is gone? We should forget it ever existed? Let bygones be bygones?

Guess what motherfuckers. We're never going to forget. Did you work there? Did you do crimes? We'll find out, and we'll put you in prison. Do you think you covered your tracks? A hundred thousand technerds say otherwise.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

GrowSF is calling for a 10% signature threshold on the justification it will keep "half baked" initatives off the ballot. All that would do is ensure only well-heeled interests can run initatives, half baked or not.

There are process reforms that will do more good than changing the threshold. 🧵

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Love you, SF. <3

The 45 and 30 were always busy, but they had the 10 to buffer.

The 49 was always busy, but it had the 47 to buffer.

The 38, 1, 5, 6… every east/west buses were always busy, but we had the 3, 21 and the 5, 31, 6, 7 on Market to buffer.

We’re poking at the fabric of our transit network. Terrifying.

As mayor of New York Mamdani controls access to the one thing Trump values above all else: tickets to CATS.

Bet. 🫡

Fresno is big enough that it would be the most populated municipality in 28 US states

In a city full of NIMBYs, Connie Chan is one of the biggest. she’s also super anti-transit and opposed measure RR that saved Caltrain during the pandemic.

Meanwhile, Scott has led the cause for almost every pro-housing and transit bill

Scott vs. Connie is the definition of good governance vs. bad

The unexpected warm-and-fuzzies when you walk past city hall for not city hall reasons <3

After Years of Parking Violations, SF is Stepping Up Enforcement in Transit-Only Lanes | KQED SFMTA officials say automated systems like bus-mounted license plate readers will help them issue more citations to drivers violating transit-only lane rules.

I am excited to see SFMTA look for new technology for bus lane and bus stop enforcement of illegal stopping/parking. We won't see any installations until Summer 2026 at earliest. #tole #able #transit

Almost half the Waymos on California streets are driving around empty. They're either waiting for the next customer or en route for a pickup.

If robotaxis scale, anything close to that level of deadheading would create crushing gridlock.

I’m going, you should too! Fundraisers like this keep transit advocacy groups moving so we can keep the buses moving!

Heck, the views alone will be worth the price of entry. Add in the good company and vibes and this is an incredible deal!

Halfway to the stars: SFTR’s 15th Anniversary Gala is sponsored by IBEW Local 6. SFTR and our members are grateful to all the transit electricians for their hard work and dedication.

Approximately 30% of all job postings are fake, with millions of ghost jobs making a tough hiring process even worse.

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

If cars were any other consumer product, they would have built in speed limits to ensure safe operation. I can’t accidentally set my thermostat to 500F and burn down my house. So why can cars drive 75mph on city streets?

Caltrain outlines severe service cuts without regional measure — Seamless Bay Area Funding shortfalls threaten to reverse Caltrain's dramatic ridership boom following the start of faster, more frequent electric train service. The agency could be forced to run only hourly service, ru...

Without a Bay Area transit measure, Caltrain would have to
- run 1 train/hour
- stop service at 9pm
- stop weekend service
- close 1/3rd of stations

These cuts would be a disaster for riders and undermine the faster and more frequent service that boosted ridership 47% YoY since electrification.

This is my surprised face about Raf doing a thing that furthers my opinion that he’s a turd who only shows up if he gets something out of it.
