Question: Is there a pro public school, universal healthcare, childcare, tenant, bicycle, walkability "mom's" or parents group that also opposes the destructive politics of private cars and private car chauffeuring (uber/lyft/waymo), and that also....

On Saturdays Haight Street gets chronically congested from private cars and unregulated car-based gig chauffeuring and delivery systems for elites. If you know me you've seen the pictures. Today. Nada. EB 80 Freeway closed. How it should always be. Quiet.

Many of these violent acts go unreported and are not in the inventory of "high injury" corridors. And hundreds of daily near misses aren't inventoried, but these discourage cycling. @sfmta.bsky.social ! sf.streetsblog.org/2026/04/17/m...

This weekend some sections of San Francisco freeway will be shut down for a bit. I got asked by KQED to contextualize: www.kqed.org/news/1208020...

The elite AI-Doge-mayor got rid of the community committee for this area so that, ostensibly, more elite housing could be fast-tracked without regulation. Is that called enshittification of the planning process? Why yes. missionlocal.org/.../sf-man-h...

Sucks. Result of failed planning due to neoliberal and conservative insistence on automobility dominating this area. All ideological. missionlocal.org/2026/04/sf-m...

Dear American car drivers (EV too). The fuel comes from unicorns which does not impact climate, does not cause violence, etc.. Just a joyride for you. So you and your political leaders who won't admit the harm of cars can imagine the impact as unicorns and rainbows. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/o...

Yes. We need regime change. But we also need structural change. Including changing the capitalist car-system that violently sucks up the planet's resources and that under girds all of these wars and land grabs. And no, EVs are not the answer. They're just more of the same.

Disturbing. And Possible. Be on Guard.

nuts. "Food prices are about to spike because we are feeding cars instead of people. We use natural gas to make fertilizer to grow corn to feed cars. It makes no energy, economic, or political sense." lloydalter.substack.com/p/food-price...

www.iea.org/reports/shel... Stop Driving. Each recommendation says stop driving. Period.

Meh, "no kings" march, was underwhelming. No one was telling millions of good people to stop driving, electric or gas. If you really want to stop USA insane blowing up the world. Stop driving. Adjust. Figure it out. Demand transit & cycle lanes. Car capitalism is destroying everything.

Waymo: Just another car doing the car thing.

Despite the left in Paris being somewhat divided, the left of center socialist won. The maps, once again folks, reflect Paris' politics of mobility. Purple went socialist. That's bikey Paris. The Blue went for the right wing. That's the SUV crowd. Here in SF they drive Rivians (or are chauffeured).

Election night in Paris Sunday. It's good news.

www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s... For those not following, this is an SF doom loop comedy side show. But the real street fight is with Rivians and Rivian drivers (and Uber-Rivian).

Hey Mayor Lurie I need roadside assistance from emergency responders too. There are cars on the sidewalk everyday I walk, in bike lanes when I ride, in the bus stop every day I take Muni. Can you please send your "emergency responders" to get this junk out of the way? sfstandard.com/2026/03/03/w...

deliberately creating chaos to draw in more bombing and civil war everywhere.

It is not enough to elect democrats. We need better democrats. Sadly San Francisco and California lack better Democrats.

Such a remarkable and positive difference compared to San Francisco's mayor. In our storm emergency we get Waymo meltdowns. www.facebook.com/reel/1488346...

This situation pits one family against another and it is sick and reflects the pathetic car centric country we are in. The woman should go to jail. But, Mercedes, GM, Ford, Toyota, etc. and other luxury SUV companies must be punished. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

San Francisco "City Family" to pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders: Fuck you. Daniel Lurie @Myrna Melgar www.sfchronicle.com/crime/articl...

Should be plastered all over the Bay Area

Awesome view and documentation. thank you.

This was huge across the country and should be elevated for hopefulness. Media please! www.facebook.com/1340611268/v...

Nothing like a good climb.

I am sorry for the Machete. Also there are insane people driving murderous cars through our habitat. How awful they are. We must put them in special control centers. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/emil...

Thank you MPS.

That is our future.

Right on. Not the weather. the gear.

Awesome. Your mayor stands up. Our mayor praised taco bell today.

Looks like a Rivian driver. Another planet destroying SUV driver.

New York has a real mayor and leader. Meanwhile SF's blue jeans billionaire cuts Muni electric trolley buses and favors Waymo robotaxis and uber garbage. New York for the win!

Good. Misguided and foolish to reopen Sunset Dunes to cars. And you cannot run for Congress in SF and win if you support doing this foolishness. What will help Chan is if she can move on and let it go. missionlocal.org/2026/01/sf-g...

Whether oil grab or rare earth mineral grab it is about the capitalist car system. These are intertwined. Wanna stop fascist resource wars? Promote car-free lifestyles and stop the capitalist car system. www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/a...

Scenes from the Waymo meltdown during a long power outage in SF. It was dumber than dumb. When suburban car and gig drivers tried to leave at once it reminded us of how many cars are crammed into the city. 24 hours later City Hall still has no power. Time to revisit the Raker Act and municipalize.

And again and again and again and again. The leadership on stopping this is just lame. They just want to lower fines and make parking on the street easier for private car drivers. Negligent homicide. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/h...

www.ktvu.com/news/child-d... Question - where did this child get hit? Street? Sidewalk? Inside garage? We need to know. There are many policy implications depending on where it happened. We need to know. @streetsblogsf.bsky.social (I think sidewalk and car centric design but waiting for answers)

SF has had relentless dense and cold tule fog for 3 weeks. The steady NE wind carrying the fog into the city smells like an oil refinery. It's especially noticeable on the south side of the bridge and in the Presidio. I also smell it every time I leave my apartment in the morning. Probably Chevron.
