subscriptions to COYOTE have slowed down by a LOT. and yes, I’m worried, but I also know that people are generally terrified out there. I’m just glad we’re still committed to giving people the knowhow to survive. stories like this one will be free to read forever www.coyotemedia.org/i-hosted-a-m...

Items I have pulled out of my puppy's mouth today: boot. pull string for window shades. scraper tool for grill. twist tie. backpack strap. boot, again. used tissue. flowers in a pot not yet planted in the yard. flowers planted in the yard. pajama shorts. small rock. It's only 8:30am.

I know @nuala.bsky.social was anxious about writing this story bc... how do we convince people that a story about an immigrant and HS senior making coffee is worth reading? but Oaklanders doing cool/fun shit for the community rarely get this kind of coverage, IMO www.coyotemedia.org/meet-holinda...

Need a cute heartwarming story to pick you up this Friday amidst The Horrors™️? @nuala.bsky.social profiled a teenager with big coffee dreams www.coyotemedia.org/meet-holinda...

Scratch got a nice little write-up in @sf.gazetteer.co today. (Thanks, @cydhayes.bsky.social!) sf.gazetteer.co/a-beloved-ma...

In the wake of investigations of the behavior of labor leader Cesar Chavez and acclaimed chef René Redzepi, our latest piece from @soleil_ho asks a hard question. Not "who should we cancel next?" but "why do we need heroes so badly in the first place?" www.coyotemedia.org/kill-the-her...

so... Army -> Cesar Chavez -> Dolores Huerta Street, yeah?

It is inconceivable to me that someone with so much energy, who lived life so loudly and fully, is gone. Joe was a vivacious part of the SF media landscape before I even entered journalism, and things already feel quieter now that he's left us. It was an honor to have edited you at SF Weekly, Joe 💔

ok I am doing this. San Francisco residents! Wanna talk to me about your frustrations and humiliations with the rec & park website? summer camp or afterschool program signups, picnic table reservations, trail closure info… bring it on

I've fostered around 35 kittens from Oakland Animal Services (not all at once!! over three years) and I've learned a LOT about baby cats. Here are some do's and don'ts if you find a litter in your backyard, with bonus photos of some of my foster babies!

Local man's understanding of events once again confused and obscured by use of passive voice in headline.

They were high school poets, dancers, and rappers. Now they're headlining shows, publishing bestsellers, and performing at the SF Ballet. @pochoboymeetsworld.bsky.social checks in on five of his former OSA students who've gone on to extraordinary things. www.coyotemedia.org/the-oakland-...

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

Today the paperback of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out. It's arriving in a country once again waging war—a country that can spend tens of billions on bombs without blinking, while millions of Americans are one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from homelessness. Let's take stock of where we are.

I do @coyotemedia.org day in and day out, so rarely take a step back to review our accomplishments. I love this thread by our beloved @reveleth.com highlighting our work in February 😍 We're so rad! We're having so much fun! You should read every story 👇

The queen @nuala.bsky.social wrote a fascinating piece on what changed between the 2016 Super Bowl and the 2026 Super Bowl. "it’s tough to summon righteous outrage when a human rights violation is so commonplace you barely see it, so normalized that it barely merits a mention in the press."

I wish I had been around to contribute to this one because I have so many photos from the White Elephant Sale of weird shit I have seen or bought (hello, box of teeth molds). @nuala.bsky.social, however, found the most haunted clock... ever? www.coyotemedia.org/weird-oaklan...

The White Elephant Sale is my Olympics. I went three times this year! @nuala.bsky.social captured the vibes perfectly 🐘 @coyotemedia.org www.coyotemedia.org/weird-oaklan...

Having beans for breakfast 😋

Well that was fast

A real actual thunderstorm? In Oakland?? Really???

A must must must read

I have often felt extremely cynical about the idea that "food brings people together." this dinner felt like a very informational stress test of it.

🗣️MELT YOUR LIFE INTO PIECES: Today at COYOTE we're talking death, aquamation, and what it means to dissolve into nothingness. ✍️: @nuala.bsky.social 📸: @amir.photo www.coyotemedia.org/east-bay-wat...

Hi folks. We're dropping our paywall on this story about the scourge of AI pitches for the day, so give it a read and share widely. www.coyotemedia.org/how-coyote-a...

“The good news about fascists is they’re inherently artless.” - @bencollins.bsky.social on the art of humor at Knight Media Forum. There’s a clear winner producing good, smart satire right now — and it’s not them.

I love this resistance to journalistic “objectivity” in Noor Tagouri’s presentation at the Knight Media Forum

In which @soleilho.com is a nerd about social security numbers and prevents @coyotemedia.org from being scammed 👀

Rose, Nate, and Jules, students at Peabody and Roosevelt, out here for their teachers. “We’re French, so we know how to strike,” Jules’ mom told me. “It’s important to stand up for teachers. We’ve had wonderful teachers.”

Emma here. Massive turnout at SF Civic Center rn in support of UESF and the teachers strike. Teachers, principals, parents, students.

The viral fried fishwich in San Leandro is great, @soleilho.com writes. But what IF you took this sandwich to a specialty store in Berkeley that has a wall of condiments, and went wild?!

my colleagues at @racketmn.com are raising funds for a local mom who needs help with rent. the total is $4,785—we’re trying to raise $4,000 as a four-person newsroom. i believe racket readers can do it this weekend!!! V: @em-cassel PP: @biketrouble please share widely and donate if you can! 💗✨

“The Super Bowl seems like a quaint thing to protest during a civil war,” a friend told me. Well, yes. But there's more to the story.

In 2016, the last time the Super Bowl came to the Bay Area, SF residents vandalized statues, threw a nationally-covered protest, and bemoaned the high cost to taxpayers. Why are things so quiet this year? I break it down in @coyotemedia.org.

Running on fumes trying to finish a story and just wrote "hundreds of police officers in riot girl" instead of "riot gear"

Today on @coyotemedia.org, @nuala.bsky.social and @rahawahaile.bsky.social talked to the fine folks at @racketmn.com about what it's like being a worker owned newsroom covering the fascist takeover of their town: www.coyotemedia.org/how-racket-m...

"Minnesotans are doing all they can, but they can’t keep fighting alone," writes @soleilho.com. "It’s time for a nationwide general strike: a coordinated withdrawal of labor across industries and regions until ICE is abolished."

The stained glass community says fuck ICE

what could be possible for all of us if we got help with housing? how many more potential activists, organizers, and artists could there be? I love that this feature shows us how someone could really bloom into their political work, thanks to having that resource available

This is the second story in our Homeless to Housed series, and I love doing these interviews and pulling these pieces together. In this one, we meet Stone, who's designed his tiny one-room space to be a multifunctional home.

wrote a special newsletter today for @coyotemedia.org that's chock-full of mutual aid links for work happening in Minneapolis-St. Paul www.coyotemedia.org/coyote-weekl...

Especially stoked to do this with COYOTE, working with the great @emmaruthless.bsky.social and again with @nuala.bsky.social. Give it a read and support COYOTE!!

This constant whiplash is exhausting. I’m enormously relieved and still so furious this was even considered. Evidence-based solutions to our mental health and substance use challenges should never ever be on the chopping block.

NEW: The Trump admin unexpectedly canceled almost $2 billion in funding for substance use and mental health. Organizations today are forced to lay off staff and scale back lifesaving services, like opioid reversal medications for first responders. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I’m so amped on the ✨brand new✨ @tlvoice.bsky.social, which launched today! As @laurawenus.bsky.social writes, “the Tenderloin gets talked about a lot, but it rarely gets its say.” The Tenderloin Voice shifts control of the narrative to its residents, and I’m excited to hear what they have to share.

This has always been the weirdest fucking thing

“What does it mean when essential facets of immigrant life, like our food and gathering places — which were traditionally ‘othered’ and sidelined — go mainstream?” asks @cecilialei.bsky.social. Check out her beautiful essay on the Pacific East Mall and the Asian market boom 👇
