WOW: New California Home Ownership Data - Nearly 20% of homes in California are owned by investors - Investors purchased 26.8% of all residential property sales during the first quarter of 2025 - Sierra County has a whopping 82% of single-family houses owned by investors -…
Salvation Army’s Tom Wolf is an adviser to SF Mayor Daniel Lurie, helping ramp up the war on drug users. Shame they’re using James Baldwin’s name. ty: @decadimitry
Scott Wiener, your average liberal Zionist #scottwiener #stopiceraids #pinkwashing
WTAF. A gay San Francisco right winger is wanting to dismantle gay rights. This only makes if you know this place. He’s doing it to side with corporations who don’t want to pay for healthcare.
C!$, white, gay, male politicians in SF will be the ones to flip the kill switch on gay rights and every ally will step aside because they hate seeing poor people. Shame on you all. ebar.com/story/156199
Represent-AZN: Two East Asians named Paul (Yep and Miyamoto) now lead SFPD and SF Sheriff’s department. #asianamericans
person with a psychotic disorder here. people with psychotic disorders are overwhelming parts of the homeless population. they need healthcare and not for people to pretend that mental illness isn't a huge part of this. this "liberal" perspective sounds nice but lacks a…
A reminder: framing homelessness as a problem of mental illness or addiction has been politically manufactured to divert attention from its *actual* causes—skyrocketing rents, poverty wages, gutted social supports—and to justify the removal of homeless people from public space.
YIMBYs and Abundance bros housing policies giving us a world where scarcity rules the market. #housingcrisis2025
In her book ENEMY FEMINISMS, @reproutopia describes how Beth Elliott, a trans member of the San Francisco chapter of the lesbian feminist group Daughters of Bilitis, handled TERFs in 1970s California. #daughtersofbilitis #sophielewis #terfs
Egyptian Pharoahs and tech oligarchs: both obsessed with hoarding wealth beyond their natural lives. #techoligarchs #revivaltrust #cryogenics
Standing up to the genocide means standing against the interests of Google, Y Combinator and every Bay Area VC firm, big tech company, Stripe, etc. There is no win-win in this. And you're either their friend or they're going to do the same thing to you they did to Dean Preston.
If Garry Tan hates @sadfrancisco69, then you know the show is good. Make sure to check it out!
Here is Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan begging on CNBC for a $175 billion federal bailout of Y Combinator investments. Which he got. The same week. Anyway, he's mad that @sadfrancisco69, a journalism startup, got a $30,000 arts grant, bc its coverage is critical of tech business.
Exactly like Trevor Chandler. Michael Lai, another tech money backed right winger who ran for SF supervisor, didn’t win, but got on the local Dem party committee. Now an in-house lobbyist for an AI company that is partnering with Palantir and getting Pentagon contracts.
Update: I joined @AnthropicAI to lead AI for State & Local Government! aka making government better with Claude :) Last year I met 20K+ voters running for office in SF. One of those was @DanielaAmodei, President & co-founder of Anthropic 🧵
Japanese interment camps also had social workers, which is an atrocity the NASW apologized for in their 2021 “Undoing Racism” report. PSA to any social workers considering this: you can’t enact change from the inside. Don’t let them use your presence to legitimize this cruelty.

According to Garry Tan (multi-millionaire tech investor) the real oligarchy in the US is Union leadership 🤡
love to see @maxdubler getting roasted over his “developer corporations are your friends and really really want to lower your rent” nonsense
Everyone knows this, including Max. But it's his job to play dumb, so he's intentionally degrading the quality of our conversation about these topics.
Check out my new article with the Phoenix Project:
Blueprint for a Better San Francisco isn’t a fresh start; it’s a rebranded project bankrolled by Neighbors for a Better San Francisco to mask a conservative, billionaire‑backed agenda.
pretty wild to see a profile of Saikat Chakrabarti in Jacobin when his only significant political activity in SF has been spending tens of thousands of $ to help tech oligarchs take out the only democratic socialist on the SF board of supervisors at the time & pack the local DCCC
Jacobin spoke with Saikat Chakrabarti, @AOC's former chief of staff who is now running for Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat: jacobin.com/2025/07/saikat…
Lessons from Silicon Valley. If you ever lose $175 billion or so, in a shady, high-risk financial scheme, just go on CNBC and say "these are the little guys. This is a national security issue." And the treasury will increase the monetary supply to absorb your losses.

Seeing as this deranged loser does far more damage to the SF taxpayer than most individuals, it's nice to see we're funding one of Garry's haters - especially since what we're funding HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GARRY. JFC, Garry, narcissist much?
Maybe the reason Garry Tan is so mad and wants to defund @sadfrancisco69 is because they were pretty much the first outlet (I know of) that addressed his megalomaniacal statements. open.spotify.com/episode/0B4x5l…
