It’s incredible how many dispensaries the Mission economy is able to support.

Gavin Newsom’s former chief of staff has been charged with stealing $225,000 from a campaign account held by Xavier Becerra, who was then secretary of Health and Human Services under President Biden.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Lina Khan, the former head of the FTC, will now co-chair Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral transition team. Her understanding of corporate power and how to combat it, which she examines in the video below, make her a perfect fit. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twdgxIJZDns

From @theathletic.com: Two British women made history by becoming the first female crew to successfully row non-stop and unsupported across the Pacific Ocean. To grasp the magnitude of their feat, more people have walked in space than successfully rowed across the world’s biggest ocean.

I don’t hate this pick? missionlocal.org/2025/11/beya...

BREAKING: Former FTC chair Lina Khan to serve as co-chair of Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral transition team.

I did a lot of voter outreach on Prop 50. So many people (normies 😊) said it didn’t go far enough. Wanted to talk about California secession. People are PISSED.

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

Hope Minneapolis follows the trend and elects Omar Fateh

Tonight is many things, but it is among other things, vindication for Lindsey, for being brave and speaking up about Cuomo's abuse towards her and other women.

"He's one of us": Muslim New Yorkers greet Mamdani's victory with pride Noting that the city is home to an estimated one million Muslims, Saman Waquad, president of the Muslim Democratic Club, said: "That’s a lot of folks that are going to feel seen." New @motherjones.com:

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

And that’s a resounding NO on putting sexual predators back into positions of power!

shoutout to the DJ at Zohran’s victory party for playing “Not Like Us” shortly after they announced his win 💀

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

the first muslim woman being elected to statewide office (in any state!) the day dick cheney died is beautiful

Outrageous. “Radioactive plutonium was found in the air above Bayview-Hunters Point at twice the federal government’s recommended levels… But the U.S. Navy, which measured the high concentration in November 2024, delayed informing the city of its finding for 11 months.”

“The state of our surveillance dystopia is such that a major glasses retailer is advertising anti-facial recognition features as a selling point as if it was normal.”

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Oakland people: your city council is considering a cruel sweeps measure by councilmember Ken Houston to criminalize homeless neighbors who have nowhere to go. There's a city hearing with public comment next Tues 11/4, 9am, and a training session tomorrow Thurs 10/30 at 5:30pm to learn more:

This is the absolute last thing we need right now.

The move comes amid similar cuts at Meta and Applied Materials, signaling a broader tech industry shift toward automation and AI investment.

Over the past four years, more than 200 people have died annually of overdoses in Oakland. San Francisco’s drug epidemic is even worse. Here’s what experts have to say about the disparities.

I can't live with the idea that there's a machine out there that can extinguish the life of a real breathing creature beloved by his community and that this is something that living breathing creatures simply have to stomach as the price of progress

there are people who tell me that Waymos are as safe as human-driven cars, but a human can feel a pit in their stomach for hitting a cat. a machine feels nothing. a void.

the beloved neighborhood bodega cat getting killed by a waymo is something I just can't stop thinking about, and it breaks me in little ways over and over again.

SF’s upzoning plan will offer only modest rent relief and produce less housing than state goals, the city economist found. Housing advocates are now threatening to sue, arguing the city isn’t meeting its state-mandated housing obligations. via @io-y-g.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2025/10/sf-u...

My latest for @kqedarts.bsky.social. The Chinese Culture Center of SF started in 1965, during the Civil Rights Movement, as a response to 'urban renewal' and the threat of community erasure. It's shaped the culture of SF Chinatown ever since.

Wow, my heart is broken for her. 💔

Is this a threat?

on National Cat Day, i am presenting you with a cat. if you haven't seen a cat before, this is what they look like. granted, details often vary. but the head, legs, fur, triangle ears -- the core structure -- tends to be consistent.

Tragedy has struck 16th St. in the Mission. KitKat, the beloved bodega cat of Randa's Market, was killed earlier this week. Neighbors & friends blame a Waymo autonomous car. missionlocal.org/2025/10/kitk...

Great to see the city step up with food assistance for San Franciscans losing SNAP benefits in November!
