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.

Unwelcome statues, beaches full of trash, homeless sweeps, and a $5M price tag infuriated many in SF when the Super Bowl came to the Bay Area in 2016. 10 years later, as the big game circus returns, the city is quiet. @nuala.bsky.social asks, what’s changed? www.coyotemedia.org/san-francisc...

really excited to have a piece in this month’s Food & Wine! weeee

A new tool lets you search the Epstein files for mentions of your LinkedIn contacts. Tried it out, does work. Outputs a report with links to the material on the DOJ website. www.404media.co/this-tool-se...

One big difference at COYOTE: We promise that none of our worker-owners will invest millions of dollars into allowing billionaires to continue avoiding paying into CA’s social safety net!

1 subscribe = 1 heartfelt wish for Jeff Bezos to step full-force on a lego coyotemedia.org?ref=coyoteme...

4/ AND we have something else: We’re a newsroom that Bezos can’t destroy. Executives at The Post made a strategic decision to abandon D.C. — a free press threatens the political aims of the powerful. We might still be small, but we can promise you that we exist solely for you, the people of D.C.

🧵 1/ We’re devastated about the layoffs at The Washington Post, which are gutting D.C. reporting. These journalists are an incalculable loss for our city. The 51st’s mission has always felt urgent, but now we know it needs to kick into high gear.

Whatever @coyotemedia.org paid for this product placement, it was worth every penny.

People really are out here tryna do a journalism. Which is so necessary when the big media outlets have been failing us.

NEW: COYOTE’s resident plant expert @reveleth.com experienced their first rave. It didn’t go as expected. "I came, I raved, I identified plants — here’s what happens when plant people throw a rave at a greenhouse." 🌱 www.coyotemedia.org/im-just-here...

"This is the worst fucking time. But watching people's response to ICE has just been the most affirming thing in the world.” We interviewed our friends over at @racketmn.com about what it’s like to cover the crisis in Minneapolis as community-centered journalists

"When one fed attempted to blow off the crowd by visibly watching basketball highlights on his phone, a protester shouted “You’re watching ads, you broke bitch! Kill yourself!” The federal agent returned to his room shortly thereafter." crimethinc.com/2026/01/27/t...

@soleilho.com is right on all the things as usual. I agree w/ them that the Bay Area absolutely could have been first. www.coyotemedia.org/what-we-owe-...

Today's bonus pigeon is 70 years old and he's fucking angry (and he's fucking right). Greg Ketter of DreamHaven Books in the Twin Cities 💛

With a few weeks of planning, they put together a massive mutual aid event that distributed 250+ bags of groceries, 50 pounds of produce, 45+ bags of clothes, 1,500 N95 and KN95 masks, and 540 COVID tests. Here’s what they learned, and how you can do it too. www.coyotemedia.org/i-hosted-a-m...

Late last year, Vincent D and his friends were feeling down about how stretched thin their community seemed to be. But what is there to really do about it? Turns out, a lot! www.coyotemedia.org/i-hosted-a-m...

so in love with this CUTE AF comic @coyotemedia.org just published about how YOU can help your neighbors get their basic needs met. yes, YOU! www.coyotemedia.org/i-hosted-a-m...

From @reveleth.com, a guide to getting started in mutual aid work. It might seem daunting at first. But we've got you. "There is no better day to begin. Talk to your neighbors, your local groups, your clubs. Get yourself connected to the networks around you." www.coyotemedia.org/there-is-no-...

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

here, I am calling upon all of us to not leave Minnesota in a lurch. it's time for us to do the work to build up to a nationwide general strike so we can finally abolish ICE www.coyotemedia.org/what-we-owe-...

Doug was definitely at Jan 6th

'What's happening in Minnesota right now is a test case. The Trump admin is learning what it can get away with, probing the limits of resistance, manufacturing pretexts for further occupations. If this becomes normalized in one city, it will spread to other places.' Stellar read from @soleilho.com

"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."

“We must make it costly everywhere, all at once.”

Great thread below by Harsha. Today, at @coyotemedia.org, our very own former Minneapolis resident @soleilho.com wrote about their take on what we owe the city, including a real engagement with a general strike and what that would take: www.coyotemedia.org/what-we-owe-...
