Saikat Chakrabarti wants to be the leftist successor to Nancy Pelosi. The media's even called him SF's Zohran Mamdani. But some local progressives harbor deep suspicions of Chakrabarti's track record. Here's why: New from @eddiekimx.bsky.social (free story!): sf.gazetteer.co/what-makes-s...

Help Rion rebuild his life 💜 Rion has lived in Oakland’s Peralta Hacienda neighborhood for years, always with his dog Baby and kitten Atlas by his side. Despite being unhoused for over a decade, he’s kind, gentle, and takes pride in keeping himself and his space clean. 🧵 #Oakland #MutualAid

Huge thanks to everyone who came out for tonight’s serve and to Martin de Porres’s House of Hospitality for sharing their space. We served PB&Js, apples, carrots, and hot meals with salad. Fun fact: we’ve never missed a Friday share in the last 4 years. 🍀

Alternate Friday serve! This week, March 7th, we’re cooking from 4–7 p.m. at the Martin de Porres House of Hospitality (225 Potrero Ave). Meals will be served as usual around City Hall & the Main Library. Masks required indoors—we’ll have extras. Join us. 🖤

PSA: No Friday serves this month! Our space is hosting a shelter. We’re working on an alternate serve for March 7—stay tuned. For other Fridays, we’ll cook 4–6 p.m. and serve guests. Can’t come by 4:30? Bring food at 6 or help clean. Out by 8. Need a meal? Message us on Signal—we’ll help.

if you're in SF this is happening tonight to protest their transphobic "biological women's night" bullshit

I adore Food Not Bombs. I love all of them. They fed me and gave me veggies when I was hungry. And we are all welcome at my local F.N.B. regardless of financial or immigrant status or any other thing.

why do a swastika instead of, say, the three arrows? again, it desensitizes people, may confuse them of your intent or allow them to misrepresent it, and is triggering for victims of nazi persecution and their descendants.

how it feels being grateful for each and ever one of you who follows and supports what we do 💙

Thank you to everyone who came out for last night’s cook and share!

Join us tomorrow at 65 9th St to cook, eat, and share food with our unhoused neighbors and community! 💚🖤

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Credible death threats to politicians by right-wing extremists is a core part of Trump's authoritarian playbook, which is why Trump pardoned 1,500 credible-death-threat-making extremists on day one.

“our streets” means all of us. you included. you have as much a right as anyone to decide for yourself when, how, and where to engage in political action. it is perfectly okay to disagree with someone’s plan and make your own instead. you can give yourself permission.

Thousands of people attended a Presidents Day protest in New York on Monday to oppose the Trump administration's policies, including major cuts to federal programs and staff. Demonstrations also took place in Washington, D.C., and other cities.

Come to SF City Hall *right now* to protest Trump and his handler Musk! Ⓐ

As people around the country protest against Donald Trump and Elon Musk, remember—the real problem is not the greed and megalomania of a few billionaires, but the political and economic structures that systematically concentrate power in their hands at our expense. In other words—capitalism.

Why Oakland High students walked out to protest Trump, in their own words

Lessons from the Tea Party era: 1. Movements matter. 2. Movements can create and sustain an electorally-focused, engaged base. 3. Movements can overcome sclerotic party structures. 4. Movements can change the world (good or bad).

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

Allez hop, à nos cantines solidaires, véganes et à prix libre partout pour nourrir et créer des solidarités antifascistes 🖤❤️💚

Imo it's bad that the US government now operates as a crudely extractive mercantile state because the dumbest people on earth think doing so is macho, and the entirely predictable consequence of this will be a mass rearmament in countries already facing anaemic growth and fraying social contracts.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our serve last night! 🖤💚

We “must move beyond doomscrolling, panic, and online denunciation, and figure out how to take action where we are, when we can. We will all have roles to play as this coup continues. One thing is clear: This society cannot be allowed to function on Musk’s terms.”

I know folks hate seeing content from the other site, but the escalation implied in this tweet exchange is so severe that it needs to be acknowledged. Take the advice of so many other great folks dedicated to antifascist work with a wealth of experience of historical knowledge; you need to prepare.

This is a scary time, but also one where people across divisions could in theory link up and offer real solidarity and support to each other. We have a choice - allow different groups of people to be targeted, or show up and stand with everyone under attack.

We will never have a better world if we wait for the established power systems to make it happen. We have to build our own collective power, as oppressed people, as people who want a happier tomorrow. As the people willing to be that better world right now.

Every time I remember Stephen Miller designed this rush of orders to burn me out specifically I get a new burst of energy from the spite alone. The very thought of my exhaustion giving him an ounce of joy makes me want to burst through walls

Peet’s Coffee Workers: “✨☕️ 1/3

Love that we have this unelected guy doing Hitler salutes and openly planning spark another Great Depression, and he's being put in charge of half the federal government because he spent money on campaign finance. Does he realize that first thing that's going to zero in an economic crash is Tesla?

Shoutout to all the comrades who came out for tonight’s share

Hey gang - starting to think this whole "Trump will end the wars" thing was totally fake.

I refuse to let these fascist fucks get me down. Keep your heads up & stay safe out there. Look out for your neighbors, organize. We got this if we got each other.

@sogorea-te.bsky.social So happy to see you all here! 💙🩵

Tonight! 65 9th St! 17:30! Ring the bottom right doorbell here (“SFMM” sticker) and someone will let you in to help us cook food for each other and unhoused neighbors. Ⓐ
