This as the most fun those ICE agents had in their lives and it’s why they signed up. They got to kill a guy for “disrespecting” them, which is the fantasy of so many Trump voters tired of people looking down on them for being bad people.

California’s heat protections for workers decreased heat-related deaths by 31% in recent years.

With deaths climbing around the United States, extending these protections throughout the country could save as many as 1,500 lives each year. https://t.co/CDUmoY0sgt

Gil is the first journalist I knew that understood what was/is happening on the ground in San Francisco and beyond regarding the Network State. He understood it as the threat to the United States, and to democracy, that it is.

He’s framing this as an apology for past "mistakes in judgment,” while never mentioning remorse for abusing his power to exploit women.

Sexual assault is not poor judgment. It is violence against another person.

Ohhh look. @MattMahanSJ, the candidate of anti-worker, anti-labor zealot David Crane, Republican Rick Caruso, and the AI billionaires.

The Democrats’ tent has definitely gotten too big. Which side are you on?

there's just So Much Happening right now, but this really should have been a much bigger story

“Break everything.” “Privatize everything.” “Do it all at once.”

AI billionaires fill up giant data centers by taking our personal information.

They target our kids. Delete our jobs. And make themselves richer.

To block reforms, AI billionaires are trying to elect folks who will serve them rather than us.

Vote against the AI candidates.

Practically everything he found was price-gouging from contractors or outsourcing. The mindbending part of DOGE was that it was going to increase public spending by cutting public staff. Building state capacity saves money.

"Communism" to these people are workers fighting for basic rights.

Remember who was calling for this, San Francisco Network State DINOs like @Mtclai

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

Today we were reminded that a vote for NAFTA or similar free trade deals may bar you from the @CaliforniaLabor endorsement for life. Yes, it still comes up.

Unregulated AI in the workplace is the new NAFTA.

The Network State movement ➡️ is a *secessionist movement* and calling its leaders and funders “moderate” pours fuel on a fire that could extinguish democracy in the United States and beyond.

Karp: AI is going to weaken the economic power of women in the United States.

The crowd that says the Democratic Party should stop aligning itself with unions because union members have become less reliable Democratic voters also insists they align more with a tech lobby that’s not only becoming less reliable voters but actively spending against the party

"If you want to make a surveillance state techno-fascist omelet you gotta break some civil rights eggs" - Mayor Lurie, probably. How long until Brooke Jenkins says this judge is why she and her Republican donors can't have nice things?

I mean, case in point. Here is a “Big Tech Democrats for corporate CEOs and against Unions” event in SF. I see @MattMahanSJ in attendance 👀
