Curious, open minded, and hard to offend. Say Hi!














Mayor Mamdani’s repeated use of the “genocide” accusation against Israel is not just wrong - it’s dangerous. It distorts reality and fuels antisemitism at a moment when Jews are already under threat. Leaders who claim to stand for human rights should not use rhetoric that puts Jewish communities at risk. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

Hours after the release of NYT report: San Francisco is moving to change the name of Cesar Chavez Street. Arizona is canceling state observances of Cesar Chavez Day. The United Farm Workers of America, which Chavez co-founded, called off its Chavez birthday celebration.

MUST READ: A bombshell NYT investigation shows that Cesar Chavez sexually abused young girls. Dolores Huerta also discloses for first time that that Chavez raped her. So much more from Manny Fernandez and Sarah Hurtes —> nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/…

A proposal that would make nobody happy but would actually go a long way towards solving BART funding and bay bridge congestion would be to introduce two way dynamic demand pricing on all bay bridges (but particularly The Bay Bridge) set at a level there’s never traffic backup. This might easily be $30+ at peak times. (Current toll is $8). Use the incremental revenue to cross subsidize BART and cross-bridge busses. Not MUNI or random AC transit. + Huge incentive to actually take transit for people who drive (currently it’s cheaper to drive back and forth to Berkeley than take BART round trip if you have parking). + New fare box revenue from more folks taking transit. + New revenue stream for bart from people who benefit from lower bridge traffic
