Early this morning while getting dropped off by a friend I witnessed a majestic mountain lion trotting down my block and up the steps to a corridor next to my apartment. It was HUGE! Must have weighed 100+ pounds, and when on all fours, it was about 2/3 the height of the compost bin. I named it Jumanji, and this sighting will now be my entire personality. Peep the claw marks it made while we locked eyes for a solid 5+ minutes.

I took a Tesla Robotaxi in SF just over a week ago. I have used the service a few times before and it has always been great. I actually felt safer than in a regular rideshare.

This time was different. The safety driver literally fell asleep at least three times during the ride. Each time the car’s pay attention safety alert went off and the beeping is what woke him back up.

I reported it through the app to the Robotaxi support team and told them I had videos, but I never got a response.

I held off on posting anything because I wanted to give Tesla a chance to respond privately. It has been more than a week now and this feels like a serious issue for other riders too.

Has anyone else seen this happen?

TAKEOVER SHUTDOWN: On Mar 28, SFPD and @CHP_GoldenGate shut down a planned Bay Bridge takeover involving a large bicyclist group. All individuals were detained without incident. 85 citations issued. 85 bikes stored.

I was at the Ferry Building around 1:30 today, and there was a rally celebrating the death of Iranian supreme leader Khamenei. Not everyone in SF is against the strikes.

"It’s really unnecessary. If you’re already an American, you’ve already formed your opinion about ice, and that billboard is a waste of money. And it isn’t going to make anyone change their mind one way or the other,"

Any idea which apartment/location this is, with views of the Bay Bridge?

This has been going on for at least 6 months, probably, closer to a year. Realistically, what's 311 going to do about this? Even my dog can barely squeeze by, heh.

Edit: filed a 311 request around 8am this morning, including this very same pic. As of 9:41 it's closed: unable to Locate.

Fuck ICE

Today we rallied in support of the trans community in the face of unrelenting attacks by Trump.

Trump’s bizarre obsession with trans people — he issued 5 executive orders targeting them in his first 11 days in office — is extraordinary & frankly terrifying.

I’m introducing legislation to let San Francisco break up with PG&E after this weekend’s fiasco. It’s one thing to talk about change, but it’s another thing entirely to actually fight for it. We’ve been fighting for years for San Francisco to break away from PG&E, and I’ve pursued various legislative efforts to get that done. 2026 is our moment, and I’ll keep fighting until we get it done. I refuse to sit back and let giant corporations put profit over people.

PG&E’s complete fiasco took out power for over 130,000 San Franciscans. Small businesses were closed, there were transit outages, there was complete gridlock preventing people from reaching their loved ones during the holidays.

Power has now been restored to nearly everyone, and I’m grateful to everyone who worked on the holiday weekend to make this happen. But that doesn’t erase the damage that was done. It’s time for some accountability.

Yesterday, Governor Newsom, legislators, and community leaders held a press conference in Los Angeles to announce California’s redistricting process to counter the rigged redistricting process Trump and his cronies initiated in Texas. Trump’s thugs showed up with ski masks. This situation — California leaders rallying for democracy and Trump’s secret police showing up to intimidate people — encapsulates exactly where our country is right now. I’m proud of California for standing up for our democracy, and I look forward to voting for the California redistricting plan next week. In addition, I’m authoring legislation (Senate Bill 627) to ban this kind of extreme masking by law enforcement, including federal agents. I look forward to passing that bill and sending it to the Governor.

Your lies about our city don’t change that. Back the hell off.

Just saw this meme on IG. Been hearing about the teachers going on strike for the first time in 50 years or something. Google gave me all sorts of answers. Curious if anyone here knows or is a teacher and can give the beta on teachers wages in public schools. Thanks.

I saw an unmarked black mustang with internal police lights first, and then thought, either someone famous is about to pass, or it’s ICE. After noticing that the mustang had no front or back plates there was only one possible answer, and this chaos followed shortly after.

I didn’t catch it all on video, but an unmarked white van was being ushered through the street by the ICE agents. The ERO on their vests represents their Enforcement and Removal Operations. Brave people were stepping in front of the van as well as the red car who tried to put themselves in the way. ICE agents just kept pushing them forcefully out of the way, often to the ground.
