The SF Board of Supervisors isn't backing down on Blue Shield. Following denials of critical cancer care for firefighters, this hearing is about holding carriers to the "extraordinary" standards they promised. Facts matter, especially when lives are on the line 🏥⚖️ #SFPolitics #HealthCare #BlueShield
It’s a huge appointment that will define the administration’s "fresh eyes" approach to the city’s most visible challenge. #SFPolitics #DanielLurie #SanFrancisco #HomelessnessSolutions
SF is cutting $2M+ from stable eviction defense while awarding $4.5M in no-bid contracts. 📉
Legal aid providers are calling it a "budget shell game" that trades long-term housing stability for short-term response. A massive blow to the Right to Counsel. 🏛️⚖️ #SFPolitics #HousingJustice #SFAW #AD17
Wishing her a steady recovery during this "acute" time. It’s a lot for the Mission to process right now. 🦋 #SFPolitics #D9 #JackieFielder #SanFrancisco
Still no resignation from Fielder as of Saturday.
Her office says updates will come “as they become available.”

SF met Sacramento’s deadline with the Family Zoning Plan, but westside neighborhoods could see 65-foot buildings without clear infrastructure plans. Streets, schools, transit, utilities: who covers the upgrades when growth arrives? #Zoning #SFPolitics
youtube.com/live/Reo0e38... I am currently watching the debate live in San Francisco. I will post my thoughts afterwards and my favorite comments about it. Saikat is debating Scott Weiner and Connie Chan. Watch now, very interesting. @hpsc24.bsky.social #SFPolitics
It’s a City Thing #SFpolitics Agnis nailed this:
Agnos calls Moritz “one of the most generous guys I’ve met in my career.” And yet, “I kick his ass on two major things where I think he’s really screwed up.”
Damn Deep Good journalism from Mission Local Org.
Would like to see more of these conversations. Are Saikat and Zephyr the right reps for the anti-'Abundance Bros?' I see a lot of agreement here. Yes: big money out of politics. Yes: state capacity can solve ambitious problems.

Stenciled street art reads, “slaves of boredom and fear” in white lettering on a red aluminum sheet wrapped around a telephone pole. In 2025, everything is presented as entertainment. That positioning has been coming for every aspect of our culture for some time now, and it’s what leads us to the collective sense that IRL Idiocracy is happening in our government and politics. New media’s broad, but fractured reach replaces a unified message that was once reported, critiqued, and discussed in relative coherence. In its place, the willing audiences (i.e all of us) are served curated sound bites. Personalization, man. Now viewers can cheer on their favorite team, dawning their colors proudly on their officially licensed (or not) hats and t-shirts. Every win, a Super Bowl of ecstasy. Each loss, the result of the idiotic officials who should be fired. Anger is more fun than boredom like any positive integer is greater than 0. Obvious truths and defined enemies relieve the fear and anxiety that comes with uncertainty. Economic uncertainty. The uncertainty of finding purpose, acceptance. That pesky human condition itself. All solved by consumable entertainment. A front row seat to wherever passive, personalized, segregated, willingly ignorant participation gets us. And I’m right there with you sad 😢🍿

Weird choice unless you *really* feel strongly about the long shot MAGA candidate for CA Governor. Silly personal political move, and really not helping the brand of the "moderates" in SF who supported his re-election. #sfpolitics

Is it all too little too late for #Progressives that have been banging this drum for ages? Or is there still a window for moderate #Democrats to come to their senses on #Gaza? Wondering if this issue is a permanent deal breaker for a coalition.

Shots fired by @jackiefielder.bsky.social. Love a #Progressive rejecting NIMBYs (it's 100% affordable housing here, people). Pretty searing #Abundance anaphora though; no love lost between the #Democrat crews. Eye opening police spending too... damn. #SFPolitics

Photo of a sticker reads, "you don't hate Mondays, you hate capitalism." Phew. Do I hate capitalism? Made me think about being raised in America, and seeing rich people as generally "successful," and dreaming with my friends for so long to be rich myself... and the pressure to earn, achieve, stay busy, get good titles. And the long path to realizing that McKinsey management consultants aren't actually good at everything, despite getting handed executive jobs after 2 years of making PowerPoints, and, man, I made so many powerpoints too... I hate powerpoint, haha. But I also struggle with the fact that this IS the system, and is it really only revolution that can change it? I find I'm always pulled back to pragmatic incrementalism instead, and I am quiet when my friends brag about their expensive purchases, or callously refer to bums on the street. San Francisco, man. It's a microcosm of late stage capitalism. I once watched someone getting paid to wash a bright yellow Lamborghini parked directly next to a homeless encampment in SOMA. What even is that? I had a friend come visit the city and say it had "been a long time since I had to walk by a homeless person and wonder if it was a pile of garbage or a human being." He meant that to be a dig at the city... and without thinking, I told him: whether he saw homeless people in his suburb or not, we're living in the same system. He's participating in it as much as anybody else is; it's just that we can see it in the city. He rolled his eyes, "Oh, so San Francisco is noble because it has visible homelessness?" Fuck, man. Maybe. Maybe that's what it takes to question the status quo. Maybe.
This sticker still sticks with me.

"Focused on the cost of living and promoted the “abundance” housing movement, "slammed what he described as the Israeli government’s “genocide” in Gaza, called for wholesale structural changes to U.S. foreign policy, and denounced Trump’s climate and immigration policies" 🤔 #sfpolitics #politics #sf
🚨 SF courts operate in the shadows — and it’s by design.
Lack of transparency lets powerful players dodge accountability while blaming others for a broken system.

San Francisco Supervisor Joel Engardio faces a Sept 16 recall election in District 4 over his role in closing the Great Highway. The recall effort, driven by Prop K's passage, surpassed required signatures. #SFPolitics #News

Two SF progressive Dem clubs left the local party, citing principle—but was it just politics? With moderates in control, tensions rise over tech $, labor, & misconduct claims. More than meets the eye. #SFPolitics

Other San Francisco Ballot Thoughts:
Chyanne Chen & Michael Lai are in a battle in D11 but Chen is improving her margin in every drop.
Matt Boschetto & @deanpreston.bsky.social should concede their races at this point.
Connie Chan is looking good against Marjan Philhour.
