This is scary. And exactly why we hope Californian Democrats will VOTE NO in this Republican-led (and extremely costly) recall election. We've just launched a postcard campaign to reach targeted Democrats in CA. (1of2)
"If regular street artists were the SFMOMA, fnnch was the Museum of Ice Cream."
Occupying almost every space in San Francisco, local artists are confronting fnnch’s honey bears on walls, in person and online. https://t.co/DL7GiKEb2N
My 5 yr old boy came home and asked me why bigger kid kept calling him Chinese Boy. My son, confused, told the boy I’m a New Jersey Boy. He laughed it off but my eyes welled up. 50 yrs ago my parents immigrated here but we cannot shake shadow of foreignness. #StopAsianHate THREAD
This is important.

What will you do to help stop the violence against our AAPI elders? We need allies. Thinking about my grandma and everyone's parents and grandparents today.

Let's have a frank discussion about bitcoin hype. Bitcoin is really an symptom of the problems of our era, of a post-truth world awash in crackpottery and of a breakdown of trust in our institutions. 🧵 (1/)
ive been thinking about this a lot lately — not just wrt misinfo, but just how our concept of “access” in digital spaces is slowly stratifying along socioeconomic lines and we can’t really do anything about it
just like in real life!
“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3rer007r
Earlier today, I attended the “I Am Change” march in Graham, which was supposed to end at the polls. At least a dozen people were arrested, and the crowd was repeatedly pepper sprayed. #ncpol 1/
My friend was hit by a car tonight after the driver made an illegal U-turn. She's ok, but banged up, and her bike is completely bent up. Please keep an eye out for a:
Jeep with license plate number AB31H94
She's already made a police report. @sfbike do you recommend next steps?
The secret clause in Prop 22 that Uber and Lyft isn't telling you about: if it passes, it's designed to make it IMPOSSIBLE for our elected officials to ever pass legislation to protect workers again. It's purely, chillingly anti-democratic. https://t.co/ORm6Bompm1 #NoOnProp22
Who's paying for that Prop? California's $502,000,000+ ballot measure election donor list is topped by DaVita and Uber. Realtors, unions, landlords, and business associations are also big on the list.
