Four days later, 300k views, and an aggressively negative response from right-wing SF Twitter.
Here’s the first of several follow-up pieces:
Lurie’s San Francisco & Trump’s America — Pt I: In Defense of When Moderation Isn’t Moderate

The disastrous effects of yimbyism: acceleration of climate change. Brought to you by the yimbys donors: oil and gas; big tech; alt right; and real estate.
As a friendly reminder, Gavin Newsom agrees with Ben Shapiro in that they believe ICE should not be abolished.
That should IMMEDIATELY disqualify him from being taken seriously as a Democratic contender in 2028.
The BARE MINIMUM we should expect from candidate’s is Abolition.

The killing of Alex Jeffrey Pretti by ICE in Minneapolis has fractured Silicon Valley. More than 500 tech workers and executives signed a petition demanding ICE be removed from U.S. cities, marking a rare, public rebuke of Trump from parts of tech.
Garry Tan also was a financial backer and big promoter of former AIPAC lobbyist Trevor Chandler's 2024 run for office.
That failed, but his parachute was a chief lobbying gig at Flock Safety.
In a clip that will haunt him for the rest of his career, Gavin Newsom denies what Israel has done in Gaza is genocide in an attempt to appease podcast guest, right-wing extremist, Ben Shapiro.
Newsom will never be President.
Scott Wiener knows he's in trouble.
He's backed into a corner, and kind of sheepishly says "and that qualifies as genocide" 90 seconds into this.
But he has been the foremost California champion of Israel the past two years, which has primarily involved repressing dissent.
Scott has caused major material harm to people who have said the same, including getting a doctor fired and a university administrator suspended. He’s gone after JVP and worked to make teaching about Palestine illegal in CA schools. What do the amendslook like?
A reminder that Scott Weiner led a delegation to meet w/ the fascist Israeli govt in 2024, tried to make it illegal to teach about Palestine in CA schools, and gotten people fired from jobs.
An extremist whose career has been made entirely by Yimby’s and their lobbying orgs.
My legislation doesn’t ban anything. AI companies have displaced blue collar job spaces in the Mission. My legislation calls for a review and study of *new* lab use spaces.
These tech bros just want to price out immigrant and working class Latinos out of the Mission forever.
"You don't have permission" to ask Scott Wiener about his efforts to help Israel commit genocide and preserve apartheid, and punish people who advocate for Palestine, even when he comes to your campus
RIGHT NOW, in San Francisco’s city hall, Mayor Daniel Lurie is finding new ways to help the rich avoid paying their fair share.
Let the mayor know that we don’t want taxes passed through to tenants. Tag @DanielLurie in the comments & let him know that you oppose raising rents!
Billionaires hate democracy.
Right-wing tech ideologues see the startup as the ideal form of government: a founder/CEO with absolute power, like a king.
Fits well with their medieval concepts of law and justice.
