Income inequality is the worst it’s been in human history and the working class have been making less and less and while people like Elon Musk have more wealth than the bottom 50% of Americans. I absolutely think we should tax the rich to provide services to the poor!
Well I see why this guy is framing transit this way. He sees transit as a redistribution issue: tax the rich to provide a service to the poor.
A sad way to frame essential govt services. Is this how he thinks about firefighters, too?

"Imagine my surprise to find in my mail a campaign flyer opposing Proposition I, the Affordable Housing Guarantee Act, making the outrageous and false claim that if passed it would send money to a 'slush fund' for 'nonprofits,'" writes Chris Carlson.

The San Francisco Police Department has purchased Israeli surveillance technology that has been used to monitor Palestinians in East Jerusalem.
"The SFPD, which began using BriefCam in August, paid $198,000 for a three-year contract, using federal grant funds"
"The SFPD can use BriefCam to review thousands of hours of video feed from live and recorded footage from a combination of sources, including its nearly 500 Flock cameras, privately accessed camera networks, and other city-run or -owned cameras."

These fascists do not believe in recovery or rehabilitation, even with someone who dedicates their life to public service. No better proof that they simply want to annihilate any part of the populace that doesn’t fit their terrifying vision of normalcy.

San Francisco public schools offer an amazing variety of language options. One of the very few cities in the country that does this.
The new enrollment system proposals could wind up moving language programs to other schools or even cutting them.

Conclusion for today. A strange way to go about it.
Pres. Kim introduces a straw poll where commissioners give a thumbs up if they want to keep the option. Pres. Kim asks for a vote on each option. It's not visible via Zoom which commissioner voted for which option. It looks like option A was eliminated.

At the Hibernia on Monday, 25 progressive wealth tax supporters told Mission Local they were concerned that voters did not know the sequence of votes needed to pass the California billionaire tax:
“Yes on Prop. 40, no on 41 and 42." missionlocal.org/2026/10/cal…

It’s always about the rent.
Rising rent is causing the dim sum and Sichuan restaurant that has been in the Castro for almost 15 years to close.

I'd vote for her just on that.

The fascist monopolization of US media, intent on ending what's left of democracy on behalf of billionaire mobsters, was finalized by a Democratic-appointed SCOTUS justice.
Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath.
If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this by any means necessary.

He spied for Israel ...
The icing on the cake when it comes to the sad collapse of German statecraft.
August Hanning, former head of the German BND, the German equivalent of the CIA, has been arrested on espionage charges.
It has never happened before that a country's top intelligence officer and head of a national spy agency proved to be a spy for another state.

This is basically just Nick Land’s profoundly nihilistic, pro-extinctionist view.
there is no difference between the view called “capital realism” and the other called “successionism”. you can see elon circling and sadly acquiescing to these ideas over the decades. but he is one of the only people that can command capital into human shapes so i hope he tries
