San Francisco’s Sunshine Task Force is one example of why Mayor Lurie’s Charter Reform wants to take away power from the people. #ICE #Trump #publicrecord

Rashi Kersarwani continues to be the worst member of Berkeley’s City Council. #teargas #police #developers

“I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.” -- the Border Patrol agent who tried to kill ICE protester Marimar Martinez in Chicago, boasting to colleagues. They're upping the ante. Gift link to @michellegoldberg.bsky.social's essential column. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

Let’s all hope Scott Wiener’s love of Israel is what sinks his campaign. #congress #israel #wiener

It was not "domestic terrorism.” It was state sanctioned violence. A family will forever live with the pain caused by the admin's reckless and deadly actions. Abolishing ICE is not enough. They must be held accountable.

This guy is no less evil than Tucker, but he is much dumber. And for that I'm grateful. He has a rock tumbler where a head should be. He is a caveman with a staff that reads him 4chan like a lullaby.

Chicago reporters noted today that McLaughlin's statement was almost exactly copy-pasted from ones used there. She just puts out a blind lie and that is granted privilege. She will do it again next time. abc7chicago.com/post/questio...

Once I had a big fight with a young reporter who insisted the details of a shooting differed from my reporting which was based on videos of the incident. I illustrated how his reporting could not be true & he yelled back I’M A REAL REPORTER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCES anyway that was wes lowery

The ICE agent who killed that woman in Minnesota probably won’t face consequences because they never do. What are we gonna do about it? #ICE #accountability #chesaboudin #police

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

Your regular reminder that ICE/CBP/DHS will lie relentlessly about this murder, despite video and eyewitnesses. They will lie on social media, in press briefings, under oath in court, same as they did in Chicago. Nothing they say is reliable. We have to shout them down every single time they lie.

Excellent. Mary Moriarty will need all of our support. The fascists are going to come at her hard. We need to run a full-court press of support for her - media, @indivisible.org groups, individuals speaking out.

70% of voters oppose invading Venezuela and THIS is what Democratic leaders come up with? You have to read it: click to the thread. It’s 15 different Dems all pivoting to kitchen table issues. ChatGPT can produce more moving statements, more leadership than this.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

There’s a high likelihood the Democrats response to this murder will be “we need more funding for ICE to train them better”

A theme here is how the elite media, by and large, has led the charge into the fog of lies and bullshit the current regime has created. To obfuscate the truth for profit and the lolz.

If Dems talked like this regularly, we wouldn't have to focus on "how to win close elections in difficult environments." We would have a lot fewer close elections, and a lot fewer difficult environments.

Oakland Animal Services are underfunded and overcapacity with surrendered animals. The agency might have a new director but he comes at a terrible time. #animalcontrol #citybudget #economy

Big: Wyoming supreme court just struck down abortion ban. And get this: The reason is a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Quite the backfire. We explained this lawsuit a few years back:

"Friendships are not commodities or disposable. But they are also not always readily available." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/o...

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Trader Joe’s Frosted Flakes are far superior to Kellog’s

The Trump administration just conducted an illegal attack on Venezuela and has spoken about attacking Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, and Denmark. These Democrats just voted to confirm Trump's nominee for Assistant Secretary of Defense: Fetterman Gallego Kaine King Reed Rosen Shaheen

Apropos of nothing: CNN is a conservative network, for yrs controlled by conservative execs like Zaslav, Zucker, and Mark Thompson and whose board chair is a far-right media billionaire John C Malone. Republicans lie about it being center or left purely to work the refs and create rightward bias.

fuck it i'm in

I'm writing a book on this stuff but it's amazing the degree to which these tech bros are pushing network states into the public consciousness. Gaza, Greenland, El Salvador, Guantanamo, Honduras, Ukraine, Venezuela. Seems like all Trump foreign policy comes with a side of Network State.

Lots of appointees by Mayor Daniel Lurie announced today and it’s clear they’re being tapped to push his Pro-Business agenda. #charterreform #austerity #business

And that’s the chilling effect of fascism at work.

NEW EPISODE: It’s our year in review episode! We go over the big stories from the year – I promise it’s not all depressing! @dscotmiller.bsky.social youtu.be/Nprq6MkVZbk

The results of Musk’s chainsaw.

Rich fascists are whining about a possible billionaire tax coming to California. Ignore their whining- if it passes, they’ll accept it. #taxes #billionaires #california

A former employee of Alameda County DA Pamela Price is suing the recall campaign for using a reportedly-doctored video against her. You won’t believe who was named in the filing. #recall #policeunion #lawsuit *it’s a criminal complaint. Sorry

NEW EPISODE: D and I were so pissed about how the Oakland City Council pushed through the unpopular $2.2 million contract with Flock Surveillance that we rushed to do an episode. We get into the shady deal. @dscotmiller.bsky.social youtu.be/8R14APN-ujk

The fascists got what they want - a $2 million, 2-year deal with Flock Surveillance in Oakland. Time to fight back #surveillance #tech #fascism #bigbrother

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is starting the process to reform the charter on behalf of billionaires, which goes to show how the mayor has sold out the city to the rich. #politics #charterreform #spur

Despite the public backlash to Flock Cameras being installed in Oakland, today the rules committee forced another vote on sending the $2.25 million contract proposal to Oakland City Council. Serious shenanigans! #flock #surveillance #police

Lots going on this week but I have to talk about the video going around of Andre Nickatina AKA Dre Dog that features someone else’s voice. #hiphop #hyphy #sanfrancisco aa

NEW EPISODE: D and I go over the stories from last week, including the debate over Oakland’s homeless encampment policy and San Francisco’s family zoning plan and teacher strikes. @dscotmiller.bsky.social #politics #housing youtu.be/7ZCBnzqqpxo?...

Rich Whipple is a model public servant. Smart, hardworking, innovative, respected, and effective. Abruptly firing Whipple is idiotic and will harm the communities he serves.

Just to give you some idea of what this is like, it'd be like Hillary headlining some Fox News or NY Post event. Israel Hayom was literally formed to give Netanyahu good coverage, and was distributed for free to undercut other Israeli newspapers. It would refuse to cover any damaging Netanyahu news.

NEW EPISODE: This week we have D4 Supervisor Natalie Gee on the show! She discusses Mayor Lurie’s appointing process, her views on law enforcement and her thoughts on recalls. Tune in! @dscotmiller.bsky.social #sanfrancisco #politics youtu.be/WgHikd1zVDE

Oakland City Council member Ken Houston made a now deleted video of him calling out Oakland’s director of public works where he used a Tupac song. Can we stop using Tupac to intimidate people we don’t like? #tupac #poltics #tech

In a disgusting escalation of election interference in Latin America, Trump is backing a Honduran politician from the party of former President Juan Orlando Hernandez- who pushed ZEDE legislation allowing Prospera to plant a literal Network State *COLONY* there. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Recent reporting from The NY Times on the it’s “bankruptcy” just goes to show how far the Old Greg Lady has fallen. Also, I say Port in this when I mean shipping terminal. #shipping #bankruptcy #nytimes #journalism

NEW EPISODE: @dscotmiller.bsky.social and I get into the news from the week, including Oakland fighting off Flock, Connie Chan joining the race for Pelosi’s seat and a blackmail letter from Silicon Valley youtu.be/3sVvh0tMRD4

ChatGPT launched three years ago. Now the web is filling with slop. We can rewild it, but we'll need to get creative... Today I’m launching The Human-Made Project, a simple and decentralized way to label creative works as being made by a human, not by AI. https://thehumanmade.org/

Pay attention to Oakland because folks there are winning the battle against the fascists who want to take over there. #policing #flock #surveillance
