Let's talk about the @sfstandard.
The Standard is bankrolled by billionaire VC Michael Moritz of @sequoia, that's why it is free. He lives in Menlo Park.
Moritz is a frequent donor to Republicans and is bankrolling the recall as well. Here are the receipts.
EXCLUSIVE: DA @ChesaBoudinโs office did not secure a single conviction for dealing fentanyl in 2021. The reason?
Many drug dealers in SF are undocumented immigrants & Boudin's office prefers a different conviction that offers a path to avoid deportation.

Mayor Breed and her allies have spent the past year playing a clever game, portraying crime as out of control in San Francisco when it suited them in recall elections and policy debates.
Howโs that going for them?

I dislike Stanford and SBF, and I get that a holiday is coming up, but @annatonger is really phoning this one in.
It is the end of the month, maybe the Standard needs to meet their quota for articles that bait their conservative readership.
The son of two Stanford professors, disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried grew up on the campus and attended a tony private school.
In many ways, Palo Alto was the perfect breeding ground for a young man who aspired to be the worldโs first trillionaire.

Quick, someone call @GrowSF and the YIMBYs, the Sunset NIMBYs are using CEQA to stop private school kids from playing football!
Personally, I think we should upzone @StIgnatius and turn the football field into a 100% affordable five over one.
Friday night lights? Not so fast.
A neighborhood group sent out a press release Monday claiming victory in a years-long battle to have the lights on St. Ignatius High's football field looked into for their environmental impacts on the neighborhood.

Thread: San Francisco's interim DA Brooke Jenkins has been credibly accused of numerous instances of misconduct (one criminal) in a complaint filed with the State Bar. This is a big deal. Iโll explain why below. https://t.co/NAJPoI6dKL
@DeanPreston One data point: swung by my old building in Russian Hill. Five out of six units completely empty. Landlord isn't getting the $4000 a month they want for a one bedroom, so there they sit.
The YIMBY brigade needs to chill the fuck out.
Mom & Pop? NOT! The California Apartment Association pretends they are an organization that benefits Californiaโs economy & the working class, when in reality their actions are responsible for California having the most expensive rental and home ownership markets in the country.
@sf_mills@David_desJ@dotBen What I really love is that white men who haven't set foot in a classroom since graduation, let alone taught one, have "expert" opinions on teaching, testing, and promoting equity.
They're treating 8th and 9th grade school selection like med school admissions.
@sampullara@dotBen@sf_mills Counter point: 1800 colleges and universities who haven't done this including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, CMU and many more.
More to the point these are seventh graders taking the SBAS which has had even less scrutiny than SAT /ACT.
