The full video of the rant about Omar and Somalis is so much worse than even the snippets that can fit into text quotes can properly convey. It is the longest he's maintained a train of thought on a single topic in months, and he's just reveling in it the whole time like a pig in shit.

Speaking of manufacturing consent.

Caleb Hearon on AI: "They're in the process right now of manufacturing consent for this technology and when ... they offer you hundreds of thousands of dollars to do an ad deal for them, they are doing that because they need your help to manufacture consent for this."

Important to understand that part of the billionaire project from Trump to local SF billionaires is to eliminate the safety net and deprive basic necessities so they can control people with meager handouts. This is what Trump is doing nationally and what Lurie is doing here in SF.

As a person with disability I don’t think I’ve ever spent any brain energy considering that people might fake disability to gain accommodations let alone gave any thought to how they should be punished. Suffice to say I don’t think this demand for punishment is coming from the disability community.

There must be some bad sht going around. People in the Tenderloin are completely laid out. Also, the street situation here has been really bad the last several months. Living amongst this shit for years just makes me angry at this point.

Amped up racist rhetoric from Trump calling Somalis in Minnesota “garbage” who “contribute nothing”. Dustin’s me more that his usual prattle. Every American should reject this racism.

I keep seeing random flashes of “NO they’re PETIT BOURGEOISIE” being argued about various arguments, and look, I’m begging you to understand that we have to update our understanding of Marx for a modern economy.

I enjoy the suffering of David Sacks.

I just finished reading the 1000 page Ableton manual. Someone should give me a cookie.

RECALL ALAN WONG

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

with all disrespect to the brands, 30% off is really not all that exciting in this economy

Yikes.

when its definitely not a hostage situation

We really need to ban mayoral appointments to the Board of Supervisors. Hold a prompt special election instead and let the people decide. The head of the executive branch should not be able to appoint members of the legislative body that's supposed to provide oversight of his administration.

Afternoon, free, Goth show at the San Francisco Public Library. Cute as hell.

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast. This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

Sorry guys universe is splitting open starting today

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

trump is, first and foremost, a starfucker

Zohran wrapping Trump around his finger is beautiful and utterly surreal

House votes on dumbass resolution condemning socialism, meanwhile the DSA's Lisan al-Gaib rolls the truculent child brain president like a pair of socks

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

I am dying right now. Trump on Zohran: “He has views that are a little out there, but who knows?”

KVNDRY SINGS circa 2009 at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.

“The reality is you can either be a progressive or you can give money to Lai and Mahmood, but you cannot do both. Saikat Chakrabarti is either woefully ignorant or willfully misleading San Francisco voters.“ www.phoenixprojectnow.com/phoenix-revi...

The fact that Connie Chan is not a YIMBY, and is fighting against displacement of San Franciscans is a plus. The more YIMBYS lie, name call, and dissemble about her record, the more they give themselves away. San Fracisco is tired of tech/YIMBY BS. Keep it up.

Realizing that I also hate Connie Chan, whose record at the BOS is primarily about bargaining and refusing to take principled stands.

In a year Melgar will be gone. Mandelman & Sherril will be gone, Saikat will be gone. Hopefully Dorsey. too.

Amazing moment in time right now where people who yelled at us for sticking to genocide as a red line are now also disgusted with Democrats and threatening not to vote for them. So your health insurance becoming more expensive was your red line?

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

RIP D’Angelo. June 7, 2015: “Dax and I have ascended to a higher plane and we have halos cause we are at The Fox waiting for D'Angelo to start and we have awesome seats. Randomly, the Fox staff bumped us to the front of the line, I think because Dax is so cool. We were the first ones in. We…”

Benioff has always been out of touch & has tilted towards false narratives that serve his own self interest. Dreamforce gives him a media megaphone which he used in 2018 to demand homeless solutions, in 2023 for more policing and 2025 cronyism. This isn’t new, this is the Benioff playbook.

What PSH Tenants want is for the integrity of Housing First to be upheld. Sober housing is a good idea, but only if it’s a choice. Dorsey’s primary concern is creating a new funding category so that Salvation Army, who refuses to submit to Medicaid standards, can get funded. x.com/mattdorsey/s...

Gavin Newsom just vetoed @matthaneysf.bsky.social and Salvation Army SF’s Recovery Housing Bill AB255. And he apparently did it for the proper reasons: to protect the integrity of Housing First in California. I’m quite surprised at this excellent news! www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/u...

The Recall Engardio campaign went up against tech oligarchs who invested over $1 million, Now Joel Engardio is out by a 63% margin! Give to the No on Joel campaign so they can recover their expenses from this hard fought fight: www.efundraisingconnections.com/c/RecallofSu...

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it. This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

I think progs and leftists in San Francisco need to understand how the Joel Engardio recall is a victory for working people. To that end this interview from @doomloopdispatch.bsky.social with the brilliant Otto Pippinger, who ran the recall campaign, is mandatory! youtu.be/WV0wetZYlpE

It appears GrowSF is lying about their position on Proposition K post Engardio recall (who used to help run their operation). This is blatantly false and easily refuted. @dustingardiner.bsky.social growsf.org/voter-guide/

Bike Bros suck so bad.

Hey, has anyone out there heard about Meals on Wheels in San Francisco drastically cutting their food service, and a bunch of staff suddenly getting laid off?

ALL GENDER IS PERFORMANCE, YOU PEABRAINED DICKS!

I've been digging into the SF rezoning plan the past week and I've gone from an ambivalent shrug to a "holy shit the entire YIMBY narrative has been absolute bullshit and they're trying to destroy everything good about this City"
