Is Alt Left content just lefty guys working out?

This video was taken by a local resident who reportedly saw a man being beaten by ICE agents at 37th and Kedzie.

If @gavinnewsom.bsky.social vetoes SB 79, it will be one of the most consequential acts of his governorship. Basically a disaster for the state, the climate, American democracy, and of course his own political ambitions. publiccomment.blog/p/newsom-s-f...

Probably dumb as hell to publish this on a Friday afternoon, but the clock is ticking to get @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to sign SB 79. Please share — and, if you're a Californian, please call the governor's office at (916) 445-2841 to ask for his signature. publiccomment.blog/p/newsom-s-f...

I decided to launch my own podcast as part of to give people info they need without fluff or nonsense. Most people I know get their news from social media, YouTube, or podcasts. Help me grow the by watching, liking, and subscribing on all my accounts. youtu.be/5zLKC5dsVVs?...

If you’re in the Bay Area and hosting an event, it would be great to add public transportation options on your “how to get here” section 🚊🚈🚎

Rumor is that Gavin Newsom is wavering on housing and might veto SB 79. If you live in California, please reach out to the governor’s office today: cayimby.org/call-sb-79/

Bike East Bay is hiring a Community Engagement Director. This is a really fun position working with our amazing community and for a very impactful organization. I’m leading the hiring and will work closely with the person we hire. Please apply or spread the word!

I hope congressional Dems don’t think that by capitulating to Trump it’ll stop him from trying to fire federal workers or cut back on funding for things like green energy projects. He was always going to punish blue states and go after Dem priorities. The shutdown is just one excuse

Lots of transit news from BART director Victor Flores - including that the BART board has voted to use standard gauge for the 2nd set of transbay tubes. This will open up the option for Caltrain, High Speed Rail, and Amtrak to cross between downtown San Francisco and the East Bay in the future.

It's been a while since my last BART newsletter. Between my last job, BART, and studying for the LSAT, time has been limited, but that's no excuse! Grab your cup of coffee or tea and catch up with me! victorfloresforbart.com/p/all-aboard...

I didn’t order this alarm function… I’m amazed my dog slept through it. Good reminder to keep an emergency go back handy

These 95 won't fight for any of you. Remember their names. They voted to honor a man who said Black people were better off during segregation and Islam is the sword used by the left to slit the throat of Western civilization. Primary them, cull the party, support and elevate the fighters.

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

This is amazing news! A lot of work went into crafting a bill that met the needs of five counties and multiple stakeholders. At BART we’ve been working to become safer and cleaner to bring back riders. We have a lot of work to do but we can survive to met our commitments without this funding

Oakland Chinatown welcomed thousands of people Saturday for its second annual night market. “This community is stronger than ever and resilient,” executive director Tony Trinh said. Read more and see additional photos → www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti... 📸: @santiagomejia.bsky.social

A free society should enable discussion about opposing views w/o fear of violence. Today’s act against Kirk further moves us freedom to a place where opposing views are settled with an eye for an eye. MAGA influencers & thinkers are using today to call for violence against their opponents

SB 105 directs the Dept of Finance to work in consultation with CalSTA to examine loan or other financing options for agencies, with the goal to complete this work by 1/10/26 allowing for proposals to be included in the Governor’s FY27 Budget and legislative action in early 2026.

12.5 hours to the big Emergency Rally To Save Bay Area Transit! Amazing seeing all the work people have been putting into to get the word out since the alarm went out just a day or two ago. See you all tomorrow morning. actionnetwork.org/events/emerg...

Centrist Democrats: Wow, this guy has real charisma, a connection with young voters and a clear and compelling message. How can we destroy him?

it’s a real “oops all nazis” situation with every random person in this administration

The guy who tariffed lumber, who is trying to deport the construction workforce, and who campaigned on his opposition to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing does not actually care about bringing down housing prices.

ATTN: @youngdems.bsky.social Applications for YDA Labor Caucus Regional Co-Directors are now open! Apply here by Midnight EST on Sunday, September 21st by the latest if you’re interested! forms.gle/3hY1SgYy43H5...

The most maddening part of Jaws, yet happens all the time. When I joined the BART Board more than half the directors had served for 16+ years - and they were making the same bad decisions. We got new, progressive directors elected & vastly improved BART. You can do it too - run for local office!

"While I support the intent to accelerate housing development, I cannot in good conscience support any legislation that might actually do that."

"A MAGA occupation of a left-leaning city." If you look closer at what's happening on the streets of LA and DC, you'll see this is more than just "fighting crime"—it's a politically partisan occupation. @dfriedman.bsky.social reports on what's happening in the streets of DC.

The federal officer who arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka outside an immigration detention center in May suggested that he was following the direction of the DOJ's No. 2 official, Todd Blanche, according to bodycam footage.

what donald trump wants more than anything is video of american soldiers gunning down american citizens

The administration’s attack on the National Museum of African American History and Culture is an attack on truth itself. Erasing Black history is how oppression survives. CONTINUED⬇️

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

Decades of blocking housing in our urban centers is probably going to give Texas and Florida a handful of house seats and electoral college seats and cement MAGA control beyond the 2nd Trump presidency

My team will be at Lincoln Square Park in Oakland for Lincoln Summer Nights tonight to hear from you and to provide support and resources. Find them at our Team Simon tent in the park from 4:30-7:30.

I’m as tired of saying it as you are of hearing it, but this is unambiguously Nazi shit

Wherever there isn’t a stay or injunction on the birthright citizenship EO I assume masked ppl will start rounding up non-yt US citizens & deporting them like they’ve been doing with immigrants. Supreme Court just exposed citizens to deportations to foreign gulags because of the color of their skin

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

We should be honest with ourselves. The Republic is dead. It’s been dying for a while. How do we come back from where this Congress, Supreme Court, & President have taken us? Ignoring the constitution, eliminating due process, and an authoritarian executive? This is hardly the end of their ambitions

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

A Facebook profile under the suspected shooter’s name was briefly viewed by WIRED before it was taken down. His profile had shown him “liking” a conservative legal advocacy organization known for its hardline stances against abortion and LGBTQ rights.

Yesterday news were reporting Far Right groups were posting violent messages & saying they should shoot ppl @ No Kings Marches. Now a politically motivated assassin went after 2 Democratic legislators and their family in Minnesota. I have zero confidence in the federal admin to properly investigate

Prosecutions need to be on the table to move forward

This is what ICE is

If our federal government functioned as the founders designed it, this president would have been impeached and removed from office and barred from running again. The fact that it’s not functioned as intended means we need to redesign the system. 🔎 electoral college, Senator distribution - what else?

So the goal is to remove the elected officials that Los Angeles and California voters elected? 1: that’s what dictators do. 2: “voters” didn’t vote for this. 38% of CA voters picked this admin. At this point this isn’t law enforcement, this is a military attack on a democratically elected government

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

This federal administration should all resign in shame for violating the constitution, human rights, and state rights. Unfortunately they have no shame of human decency

Yup

Everyone involved in this action against Senator Padilla should be fired and barred from working in government at the minimum

The BART Board of Directors voted to adopt a balanced budget for FY26, protecting safe, clean, and frequent service for one more year before facing a fiscal cliff in FY27 that could have dire and widespread impacts on the Bay Area's greater transportation network. Thread ⬇️
