My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

I know there's so much happening today that is worth attention, but in my little corner of the universe...it's print time!!! 🕺🕺🕺

Whatever you think of the Washington Post at this moment, here's a chance to support the dedicated, hard-working journalists who were just laid off. If you have the means, your donation is most welcome. If you don't, a kind thought and maybe spreading the word to others is support enough 💙

SFFD has created a "hoarding task force" to identify the fire hazards and get them cleared out before bad things happen.

Liam, 5, has been freed, but four other students from his school district remain detained in Texas. Two boys from his elementary school were taken Thurs “This isn’t something we are prepared or trained for. We’ve dedicated our lives to protecting + educating children,” school superintendent told me

This is public safety town hall is happening tomorrow but a conversation about the town hall appears to be happening in our comments... now 👀

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Big congrats to @caroncreighton.bsky.social, whose documentary about unhoused community leadership, Wood Street, will ✨premiere✨ at Big Sky Documentary Film Festival in February!!

Say hello to the Tenderloin Voice, a new indie news outlet that aims to cover the much-maligned neighborhood with a simple principle: Why not ask readers exactly what they want to see? GIFT LINK: sf.gazetteer.co/talk-of-the-...

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

A federal appeals court has reversed a June court decision to release pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil from immigration detention, marking a major win for the Trump administration amid its ongoing push to deport him.

new SF publication alert! huge fan of the concept, and also the neon logo they came up with

I’m so amped on the ✨brand new✨ @tlvoice.bsky.social, which launched today! As @laurawenus.bsky.social writes, “the Tenderloin gets talked about a lot, but it rarely gets its say.” The Tenderloin Voice shifts control of the narrative to its residents, and I’m excited to hear what they have to share.

::deep breath:: It's here. The @tlvoice.bsky.social is live. This has been, and will continue to be, such a labor of love. Huge gratitude to all of the people who shared their advice, contacts, reflections, writing, photos, and heart to make this possible.

What a treat to appear alongside @marisakabas.bsky.social, @evanurquhart.bsky.social, and our friends at @404media.co who have answered approximately 1,000 questions for us. Shoutout to @tinynewscollective.bsky.social for its essential support, without which we would not have liability insurance!

bit hard not to be rankled by this when we all just got a notice about a bill restructuring that is "not a new fee" but is likely to drive up costs by ~$16 per month. Not sure sitting in the dark a few more hours a day to save $10 per YEAR (lol) is worth it...

For decades, incarcerated people in California prisons have elected representatives to advocate for better conditions. But allegations of rigged elections and forced removals at San Quentin are raising questions about whether the system still works. localnewsmatters.org/2026/01/04/a...

SF power outage info: PG&E will be opening a community charging station at 1235 Mission St from 6pm-midnight. (sorry for out-of-nowhere random power outage update, it's just amazing to me that so much of this info is only available on the ~other~ social media sites so I thought I'd drop this here)

I wrote this last week but it's still true: We continue to be in the startup phase, pre-launch. That can be frustrating when so much is happening (like a fire that displaced 68 people last week). So here's me reflecting on why it's critical to move with care in this space.

We're honored to be featured by Editor & Publisher Magazine, with a great piece by the talented @di-sly.bsky.social! www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/buil...

yessss finally Why do I not just autoload? Because in the last week, I've: - gone to dinner and left my wallet at home - walked out the door with the wrong set of keys - walked home from a place I biked to, forgetting the bike Don't even ask me how many Clipper cards I've gone through.

Charisma is a local trans artist, creator, bookseller and all around wonderful human. I've been so lucky to get to hang out with them, and I've gotten to admire their art and their incredible positivity. They had to move a while back due to fuckery. Please give whatever you can!

5 immigration judges were summarily fired in San Francisco today, the largest such firing in the city all year. It continues a trend of the Trump admin. targeting immigration judges nationwide. In San Francisco, at least 12 have been sacked this year. missionlocal.org/2025/11/sf-i...

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

IT’S PUB DAY BABY HELL YEAH

work on the creative project that pays me money and that i am under contract for and that people like????? no thanks, im busy thinking about my creative project that im kind of bad at and somehow costs me money and that nobody asked for

New from 404 Media: ICE plans to spend as much as $180 million on bounty hunters to physically locate and stalk immigrants. I spoke to multiple private investigators/skip tracers. Some horrified. Others said they will do this work. "Money is money." www.404media.co/ice-plans-to...

My reporter-brain wants launching a newsroom to be simple and keeps yelling "omg just start posting stories aaa!!" But it is, in fact, not that simple. There's infrastructure to set up, logistics to manage. And some fun stuff too :)

Dispatch from the pre-launch trenches: Our first item of content is a prototype community calendar (which so far seems to be pretty functional/helpful thing so yay :)

As Congress remains gridlocked, a federal court ruled Friday that the USDA must release contingency funds — but it is unclear how quickly the SNAP funds will get to recipients.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

We’re heads-down working our way toward launching the Tenderloin newsroom, and starting (today) with a top community request. newsrelaynetwork.org/community-ca...

Media colleagues in the Bay are really meeting the moment right now — especially love @eltecolotesf.bsky.social and @missionlocal.org collaborating for live updates, @coyotemedia.org offering a guide on how to respond. And of course breaking news reporters for every outlet are on the ball. ♥️

We keep hearing that people want to read about solutions and the work that's already being done in the neighborhood. Because guess what — this community has put a whole slate of solutions proposals on the table already. We want to help keep those front of mind.

For DC, this combined with federal workers who are furloughed now needing to access the local food banks, will be devastating

🚨 Educators & parents: • Are public schools in your area losing funding or changing curriculum? • Are low-income, ESL or disabled students losing access to programs? • Are more families in your area sending students to private schools? Help us report ⬇️

just participated in a good session with @daphnem.bsky.social for @tinynewscollective.bsky.social about listening. The whole *point* of listening is that we change what we're doing in response to feedback. @noaharroyo.bsky.social wrote about that here:

For months, we’ve asked SF's Tenderloin what it needs in a newsroom. What people said, surprised us: - Community calendar - Power to tell their own stories - Articles offering ways to help people - Some coverage intended for citywide readers - Muckraking newsrelaynetwork.org/changing-cou...

Yesterday, California adopted a law to raise the pay received by incarcerated firefighters when they’re fighting a fire from $1 to $7.25 per hour—meeting the federal minimum wage. Four other new laws also give new rights to incarcerated firefighters.

NSO Group confirmed to TechCrunch that an unnamed group of American investors has taken “controlling ownership” of the surveillance tech maker.

Business Insider wrote up a story on how some of their past investigative work led to a new California law. The story is strangely unbylined. The reason perhaps? The publication recently laid off the reporter behind that investigation, Matt Drange. www.businessinsider.com/california-e...

Takeaways from our listening session last week. I'm so glad we got to have this conversation!

Two journalists are set to be tried in Kentucky this week. Their crime? Covering a protest of the immigration detainment of Ayman Soliman, who himself fled persecution for his journalism in Egypt. Soliman’s lawyer called it a “cruel irony.”
