Content warning: internal DSA politics

"Palestine is a canary in the coal mine for an electoral approach that prioritizes popularity and political careerism over anti-imperialism and party-building."
I wish AOC were better and DSA could proudly endorse her, but as it stands, I unfortunately agree with Red Star's critiques and conclusion here.

“Stand up if you know someone who’s been affected by community violence,”
Dr. Khalid Griffin prompted the group of Fort Wayne high schoolers. 
Almost all 60 teenagers who had been seated in the center of the downtown church stood up.

Okay, hold it right there. That's a cut-and-dried violation of our city charter's Transit First policy, repeatedly reaffirmed by voters. This should not be a debate because we already had the debate. The "don't prioritize transit" side lost. Transit supporters need to sue the city.

"Until now, the record for most spending per vote was held by Mayor Daniel Lurie, who paid $156.14 for each of his first-choice votes in the 2024 mayoral race. But there’s a big difference: Lurie won."
(He had much worse opposition! It was a terrible field.)

So why, all the sudden, would it be really high in nutrients?
My guess is they refilled it with city water.
Washington DC like most major metropolitan areas, adds orthophosphate to the water for lead corrosion control.
It works beautifully for this,
but orthophosphate is also a bioavailable form of phosphate,

The Lurie administration and its allies are disbanding San Francisco's Bicycle Advisory Committee. I plan to go to its final meeting tonight at 6:30, city hall room 416.
FYI, Sherrill, Sauter, Mahmood, Dorsey, Wong, and Mandelman voted to get rid of it. May they all lose their next elections and be replaced by better candidates who'll restore the BAC.

When the housing is 100% adorable.
(“Happy Home” by Timur Fork, in Osaka, Japan as photographed for Hi Fructose magazine issue 75)

A 2 story plus slanted attic house is painted in a childlike way to look like a smiling man in a button-up shirt with a heart pin on his lapel. A second floor picture window appears as a pocket or patch on his shirt. The house has other windows and ground floor garage doors on its right side which is just painted white

I live in a part of San Francisco called the APE Zone.

Air Pollutant Exposure Zone (2020) Map. It is San Francisco with a dark cyan blob of polluted areas covering SoMa, Chinatown, the Tenderloin, Western Addition, Mission Bay, most of the Mission, and other areas adjacent to freeways and main roads.

I love how California poppies close up in the evening like they’re tucking themselves into bed.

So this plant (“wild radish”) is invasive in California but I’ve heard the whole plant is edible so you can forage and eat it. Seems like a win-win: you reduce the invasive population and get some noms! Anyone tried it?

Amazing turnout for the Affordable Housing Guarantee Act kickoff in Dolores Park! Together, we’re going to make sure the voters’ will to tax the rich to fund affordable housing gets respected!
I mostly left the taking of photos to others but here’s one of @… psyching us up

The real estate industry ("Abundant Network") is doing a whole ad push to lobby the SFBOS to lower the % of affordable homes developers have to include from 15% to 5%.
I thought they had this vote in the bag. Wonder which supervisor they think is wavering. #sfpol

Screenshot of an Instagram ad from "Build More Homes":

City hall needs to hear from you. Button: Add my name.

Photo of City Hall steps with Myrna Melgar at a lectern, Stephen Sherrill to her right, surrounded by men in hi-vis vests.

The ad is paid for by Abundant Network and captioned: The Board of Supervisors will soon vote to make it easier to build more housing in San Francisco. It's time to take action and show our support.

The Chronicle has a new puff piece on #Waymo purporting to show San Franciscans just looooove them. But 57% of respondents still think they're at least partly bad. sfchronicle.com/s…

We need to bring back the concept of “selling out.” Nothing could be more opposed to the spirit of Last Black Man in SF than Joe Talbot’s new propaganda video for Daniel Lurie’s billionaire agenda. Talbot is a hack and a disgrace who betrayed his city.

Cancelable opinion in urbanist circles: San Francisco actually should try to build housing in a way that minimizes unnecessary shadow. I'm not saying it's more important than people having an affordable place to live, or that it should've been taken to the extremes it was in the 80s and 90s... but it is the middle of June and it's nice in the sun and cold in the shade.

What blocked this bus and all this traffic for a whole light cycle? I peer around the corner of the Panchitas van and see, of course, a double-parked Waymo.

I love to sabotage anonymous surveys by providing my full name in the answers to all the questions. It totally ruins the survey. And the best part is that since it's anonymous, they have no idea I'm the one who did it.

This is the kind of unity we need to see among left-of-center candidates—everyone not on the billionaires' team. Like Saikat, I'll support Connie in the general election. I won't hide my disagreements with her, but fortunately most of them are much less relevant to federal office.
