[SF Pretrial @sfpretrial]

Support for SF Pretrial keeps growing.

Care First California, is calling on the City to preserve SF Pretrials contract and reject the budget request that would hand our program over to probation.

SF Pretrial is a floor, not an outlier. Thank you, @CareFirstCA. ✅📣

We are not alone in this fight.

The Bar Association of San Francisco is urging the City to preserve SF Pretrial's contract and reject the budget request that would hand our program over to probation. They have been standing with SF Pretrial for decades.
Thank you, @sfbar

@DeRonin_ What about voice?

Opus taught me the word "cruft" today.

@garrytan How did your interview with Newsom go?

[Spenser Skates @spenserskates]

Marketing is changing faster than any other function in B2B. Decades of best practice are being upended:

- Don’t be controversial > controversy sells
- Use proven channels > new channels break through noise
- Authoritative institutions > authentic individuals
- Abstract value > concrete functionality
- Consistency and consensus > speed

It’s hard to relearn, but the returns are huge to those that do.

If, when you say regulation, you mean the dead and clammy hand of the commissar—the gentleman who has never in his life built a single thing, drafting rules to govern a thing he cannot define, to be enforced by men who cannot read them; if you mean the form in triplicate, the impact assessment upon the impact assessment, the compliance officer who breeds, in the warm dark of the org chart, further compliance officers unto the third and fourth generation; if you mean the moat—the deep cold moat that the giant digs around his own castle and christens, with a perfectly straight face, public safety—the drawbridge he hauls up behind himself the very instant he is across, lest any hungrier and hungrier man should follow; if you mean the precautionary principle, which, had it governed our grandfathers, would have banned the wheel pending further study of the hill, and left us yet shivering and raw in the mouth of the cave, blessing its excellent ventilation; if you mean the European disease—that magnificent open-air museum of a continent, which produces in our time precisely two things in great abundance, and they are regulation, and the eloquent and well-footnoted regret of cultivated men explaining at length why they have produced nothing else; if you mean the license required to think, the permission slip for honest arithmetic, the king’s wax stamp pressed upon the forehead of every new idea before it may draw its first breath; if you mean the agency dispatched, with trumpets, to slay a single dragon, which arrives at the cave, surveys the accommodations, and moves in—and spends the ensuing century laying eggs and devouring the very villagers it was sworn to defend; if you mean the startup that perishes not of the market’s honest verdict but of the filing fee, the genius decamping by the next tide to a freer and warmer shore; if you mean the law that arrives, faithful as the swallows, exactly one whole epoch too late—helmeted, plumed, and magnificently armed—to regulate the stagecoach—then certainly, my friends, I am against it.

But—but, my friends—if, when you say regulation, you mean instead the humble steel guardrail upon the mountain road at midnight, the very thing you curse on the easy days and bless on your knees the one night the fog comes down; if you mean the brakes—for it is the brakes, and not the engine alone, that permit a sane man to drive fast and yet arrive alive—and the buttress, without which no cathedral was ever flung so high, but only in spite of which, but because of which; if you mean the meat inspector, who is the single homely reason a man may eat a sausage in this republic without first composing his last will and testament; if you mean the firebreak cut clean through the forest before the dry season of the burning, the smallpox cordon, the buoy that marks the channel, the rule of the road that lets ten thousand strangers hurtle past one another in the dark at fearful speed and arrive, by its quiet grace, every one of them home; if you mean the honest scale and the true weight, the reason a pound is a pound and a dollar a dollar from Natchez to Nome; if you mean the firm and decent wall between the counterfeit voice and the widow’s bank account, between the deepfaked candidate and the ballot box on the eve of the vote, between the loosed and loveless machine and the schoolyard it neither knows nor pities; if you mean the simple plank of law that says the strong shall not, in the gray dawn, feed the weak quietly into the furnace and sell the rising smoke as progress; if you mean, in the end, the one slender thread of trust without which no citizen will ever dare to use the marvelous thing at all—for where there is no rule there is no trust, and where there is no trust there is no commerce, and a miracle that no man dares to touch is no miracle, but only a handsome and expensive ghost—then certainly I am for it.

This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise one inch of it.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. The Spencer Pratt surge is REAL: He just raised 10 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF MONEY as incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in the last month

PRATT: $2.72M 🤯
RAMAN: $401K
BASS: $283K

Read that again!

Common Spence — the outsider — just 10Xed the sitting mayor backed by the machine!

@SpencerPratt is now rivaling Karen Bass' ALL-TIME WAR CHEST that she built throughout her entire reelection campaign over months and months.

In 30 days.

The momentum is real.

TIME TO WIN AND SAVE LOS ANGELES! MAN OF THE MOMENT! 👏🏻

🚨Breaking. Friends of Lowell legal battle against SFUSD "Voices" Ethnic Studies Mandate hits Mayor Lurie's office with 53 pages of legal attachments. “The city government sends roughly a quarter of a billion dollars per year to the SFUSD, which in return gives us ongoing budget deficits, declining enrollment, and repeated violations of California’s Brown Act. We’re asking the mayor to engage now — because, if these failures continue, the imminent public scrutiny and consequences for our students will be significant.” - FOLF Board Member https://t.co/pdrXDfKKhb 🧵
