Don’t call it a comeback.

I’ve been here for years.

And my war against the Democratic Party’s unacceptable corruption is just beginning.

What did last night's attack on the White House Correspondents Dinner reveal?, by @ShahidForChange https://t.co/beFwtAmmRm

The war on Iran launched by the Trump-Netanyahu Axis of Evil has stretched on for far longer than its proponents guessed at the outset. As the damage to the global economy continues to mount, their desperation appears increasingly evident.

Israel’s depraved sexual torture of detainees has gone on for years.

Nakba Day offers an apt moment to observe that human rights have been—and remain—in exile.

Many Americans are fed up with the complicity of elected Democrats, but most grassroots voices can do only so much.

Californians, however, enjoy a unique opportunity to reject business as usual by electing Green Party nominee Butch Ware for Governor.

#MaytheFourth is a great time to rediscover the profound allegory that prompted Lucas to write Star Wars.

It wasn’t just a western set in space.

Its message holds immense relevance for America in 2026.

@ShootingWeather @SusanDReynolds @joegarofoli @sfchronicle @MHurabiell The racist lies orchestrated by Democrats that the Chronicle published in 2020 without checking facts were frankly much, much worse.

[Shahid Buttar (find me on Substack and BlueSky) @ShahidForChange]

@SusanDReynolds @joegarofoli @sfchronicle @MHurabiell I can relate. I had to sue the Chronicle for the racist click bait it published when I ran in 2020, and ended up leaving the city after the courts refused to apply the law in order to protect Pelosi and the appearance of fairness in the political process.

Break the genocidal anti-worker stranglehold on both parties. Register Green.

@davidsirota I especially appreciate you noting how Obama continued the assault on the Constitution initiated by his predecessors.

Too many partisans forget the bipartisan nature of the longstanding corruption in Washington. https://t.co/XgvMzRyyOV

listen, this little video might actually be the single best thing I've ever been involved in producing in my whole career - take 128 seconds to watch it and pass it on

Absolute malpractice by national media to not mention Connie Chan when reporting on this race. Saikat is framed as this outsider when he’s a rich carpetbagger.

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

None of this could be happening without the abject, groveling, gutless complicity of so many 'leaders' in media and politics across the world.

[Kate Willett @katewillett]

Nothing against Hasan, love his work, but it’s weird how all left media is ignoring Connie Chan. She’s polling w/in a margin of error of Saikat and has nearly all the local progressive endorsements.

[leland jung @jung_leland]

I believe we should vote for Connie Chan for Congress. Can anyone name three local or state progressive actions Saikat Chakrabarti, her opponent, has led or fought for in the last ten years. He has lived here over 15 years and has had the wealth and time to do more than most. We know he voted for Lurie over Peskin and donated to replace progressive supervisor Dean Preston with corporate centered Bilal Mahmood. Saikat used his wealth and power to move SanFrancisco to the right, a progressive would have done the opposite. Look at the voting shift in attached chart after Saikat’s help.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

Nobody with power/status in either party is ever held accountable for what they do, to the point where partisan voters now believe their civic duty is not to press their party to deliver, but to instead protect their politicians from ever being held accountable for anything.

@YesternightPost @sfstandard @FitzTheReporter I was a target of it, and her lies remain uncorrected

@48hills It’s bizarre that you defend ethics violations, as well as a public official whose racism & Islamophobia are publicly documented—though perhaps not surprising, given the patterns apparent in your own reporting

[Shahid Buttar (find me on Substack and BlueSky) @ShahidForChange]

It’s fascinating that World War II is fully underway, and most people can’t even recognize it. https://t.co/pN2f4FLaOu
