San Francisco’s Committee on Information Technology last month quietly reviewed a new policy that seeks to relax restrictions on the city’s growing drone fleet. www.sfpublicpress.org/proposed-san...

Susan Collins doesn't regret her Brett Kavanaugh vote because she isn't actually pro-choice. If she were, she wouldn't have confirmed 17 anti-abortion judges and counting in Trump's second term—or voted to advance a bill that "defunded" Planned Parenthood and Maine Family Planning. Me in @ms.now

"My country [Ukraine] has been under occupation, dogged by corruption and war. Yet even I’ve been bewildered by the way the US seems to be fracturing" — Nataliya Gumenuk

In this street interview series taken during the “No Kings” protest in March, people across the city spoke candidly about what matters most where they live, and what they want local leaders to pay attention to. www.sfpublicpress.org/san-francisc...

When a street tree dies in the Castro, the city fills the spot with concrete.

Here's my take: 1. Progressive candidates and initiatives were creamed across SF. More so than any time I remember in the past 20+ years 2. I'm shocked Wiener did not break 50% 3. We need RCV for statewide races 4. Three out of four SF voters don't give a shit

Quick reminder that if you haven't mailed in your ballot yet consider using an official drop box or go to your polling place on Tuesday. You can find them both here: www.sf.gov/return-your-...

"Wish-casting your dream ticket makes politics facile & toothless. Without finer discernment about whom we want to represent us, it is that much easier for incompetent, venal politicians to control our fates." — @roxanegay.bsky.social

It is supremely shortsighted to go back to partisan primaries when the better solution is ranked-choice voting. RCV or GTFO www.threads.com/@sfchronicle...

Anybody know why DCCC recommends No on Prop C (decrease business taxes)?

Here's my consolidated voter guide cheat sheet including: Harvey Milk Club League of Pissed Off Voters Affordable Housing Alliance Todd Berman (@theartdontstop.bsky.social) SF League of Women Voters (@lwvsf.bsky.social ) lmk if there are other guides I should add tinyurl.com/SF-Voter-Gui...

Since @scottwiener.bsky.social was first sworn in as supervisor (in 2011) and then as senator (in 2016), homelessness in San Francisco is up 24%

DCCC and GrowSF have sent me their voter guides. Very good of them to help me figure out who *not* to vote for.

CA June 2nd Voters! A lot of us are waiting to see how the polls go this month before making a final decision. If you are voting after May 26, DO NOT VOTE BY MAIL. Find an official drop box in your area or vote in person. Find info about drop box locations at your county election office website.

I have no idea how much diapers cost & there are thousands of families who will grateful for this support, but this is no more than a political gimmick. We need universal single-payer healthcare, meaningful paid family leave, affordable childcare, UBI... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I wrote about this weekend’s pair of federal rulings that curtailed, then restored, mifepristone access—and the reality that the abortion war isn’t over even if the American public has largely forgotten about it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's striking. Both the under- and over-use of AI in medicine, by patients and doctors, for where there's evidence and where it doesn't exist erictopol.substack.com/p/the-parado...

This is fascinating. I remember decades ago discussing with a radiologist efforts to train image recognition systems to analyze medical images. The technology has come so far since then. And yet so underutilized.
