@Match_Analysis Here’s the only thing you need to know: the early vote is older and more conservative and was always going to favor Taylor. He would have a strongly preferred much bigger firewall because the next 70,000 to 100,000 votes that come in are going to be younger, more progressive.

@hyphy_republic Empower Oakland’s entire reason for existing is to push policies that will destabilize our city and government so they can then elect people who will push their real agenda, which is busting tenant and labor unions and transferring taxpayer dollars to their wealthy donors.

I will say one thing for Empower Oakland, they've given on appearing like they make sense or know what they're talking about. It's not a money problem, as they describe a money problem. Oakland clearly has a funding problem to anyone who has opened a budget document.

@hyphy_republic They never write these “breathy, innuendo filled,” type of headlines about the politicians who work for the rich people who control the Chronicle.

There's no evidence whatsoever that her office leaked the memo, but plenty of evidence the SFC would never be able to abide by the condition of not reporting unsubstantiated rumors for the powerful bosses

@MikeHotDogMayor It’s time.

EXCUSE ME #FreeMayorMike

@MikeHotDogMayor You’re a good guy, Mike I hope everything works out.

GUYS I'M CRYING. 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm overwhelmed at the support. i did not expect it. i want to thank everyone of you so much. hopefully i'll get a job soon and won't have to do this ever again. i hope you don't mind if i get a much needed small Christmas tree this weekend, as i was going to forgo that to cover bills and expenses. THANK YOU SO MUCH. this was a real life "its a wonderful life" moment

No lies detected. @ShomikMukherjee

@Dscot510 @doomloopdisp Where was his weirdo roommate?

@doomloopdisp Seneca is in Nashville right now and has an alibi but the real question is: What was the goal? He’s leaking engagement and losing attention and this is a way to get back into the spotlight with plausible deniability…

Someone is trying to get Brandon Harami injured and possibly killed by putting up posters claiming he’s a peeping tom. This stems from a disgusting false narrative being pushed by operatives working for the Bay Area’s “moderate” politicians. #harassment #corruption #violence

@hyphy_republic It’s a losing strategy. Loren sucks at this.

Great example of how bias in local corporate media operates: Taylor wouldn't dare take this public position if EBT and SFC had reported the Phong Tran/IAD scandal with the ubiquity warranted. Almost the entire OPD leadership was fired, and Armstrong would likely have been too

@Timodc The people to your left aren’t the problem, Tim. The frequent need to punch that way is a self defeating compulsion.

I strongly suggest that the DSA unendorse Mamdani. It is important that the organization has complete ideological purity and absolutely zero foothold into any place of political power so this is the only logical approach

@emmagf Nothing worse than a dishonest reporter.

@mattyglesias @ezraklein You probably thought this was true too: x.com/NateSilver538/…

@adamjohnsonCHI No lies detected.

Noah Smith is a such a blinkered, cynical, racist midwit that anyone who shares any of his opinions unironically I assume possesses these same qualities. Just an all time smug asshole constitutionally incapable of comprehending solidarity

@NathanJRobinson You have no idea what you’re talking about. He’s a tech fascist errand boy and has no chance.

Chakrabarti can win. People assume that 2025 Pelosi is just as invulnerable as she's always been. Not so. She's 85 and can't campaign at all. She no longer leads the party. Plenty of voters ready for a more capable representative. Don't count him out.

@hyphy_republic They have the tools to cover it just not the courage. Assignment editors are politically aligned with police unions and reporters rely on the police for “scoops” or hope to land jobs with LE later. Total revolving door between newsrooms and jobs as police dept spokespeople.

I shouldn't be alone in thinking this looks like an OPD soft-strike that started last year, but no media has any of the necessary tools to cover it.

@JoelEngardio Did @samsinger write that for you? 😂

My time as a city supervisor will be shorter than expected. I accept the election results. But we can still celebrate. We are on the right side of history. Sunset Dunes is a success. It’s good for the environment, good for our local economy, and it’s bringing joy to people of all ages. The feared traffic “carmageddon” never came. We created something positive. Very soon, we will wonder why this was ever a controversy. We won’t be able to imagine San Francisco without a coastal park and all the benefits it offers. Change can be difficult, especially when it’s beyond our control. Severe coastal erosion meant the Great Highway was going to lose its greatest utility as a direct connection to Daly City — no matter what. Mother Nature gave us a lemon. The creation of Sunset Dunes is the lemonade. I inherited a contentious debate about the future of the Great Highway and met with advocates on both sides. I supported democracy by giving people a choice about what to do with their coast. Prop K allowed for more public debate in the most open, democratic, and transparent process possible. Every voter had an equal say because the coast belongs to everyone. As the park became more popular, the recall began to focus its anger on proposed new housing density. This raises some important questions about the future of San Francisco. Do we want to be a city that looks to the past and preserve it in amber? Or do we want to be a forward-looking and innovative city that welcomes new people and ideas? I support progress, whether it’s open spaces where people can connect with each other or the housing we need to accommodate newcomers and let our adult kids and essential workers stay in San Francisco. If we never changed anything in San Francisco, the Sunset would still be sand dunes. San Francisco will only realize its full potential if we let ourselves do bold things. We can’t be the most progressive city that fears change. We must be the most progressive city that embraces the future. The Golden Gate Bridge faced a lot of resistance when it was proposed. Detractors called it an "upside down rat trap.” Thankfully, forward-looking people had the courage to build it anyway and create the icon of our city. This is the story of Sunset Dunes, and I invite you to visit. Find new ways to connect with nature. Discover the food, art, and culture of the Sunset neighborhoods. Be inspired by your coast and your park. Read my full blog post: engardio.com/blog/history

@petermlaffin @juliaioffe Your question to start this convo was itself disingenuous and bad faith. That’s your conscience making that accusation.

@juliaioffe What a remarkably disingenuous thing to say. One of the nation's most influential political leaders was just gunned down by an "anti-fascist" and you want to go on the attack like this? Look in the mirror and try to summon up a better angel.

The sleight of hand required to make "antifascist" sound like a bad thing... (Remember when the United States, as a government and its policy, was officially, militantly antifascist during World War II?)

@JoelEngardio Savor these last days in office, Joel.

🚪 Knocked on doors near Sunset Dunes and had some incredible convos: 🌊 Neighbor took down his recall sign after telling me he actually likes the park 🗳️ 18-year-old’s first vote ever was to keep me in office 🙅🏻‍♂️ Explained how Ocean Beach WILL NOT become Miami Beach 🏴‍☠️ Carpenter wants to build a pirate ship for kids at the park! Not everyone agrees at first. But when we talk, people see I’ve delivered results and change their mind. They like that I’m working for families, small businesses & our future. 📬 Vote NO on the recall, NO on A and mail your ballot today! #sfsunset #sanfrancisco #sf #politics #bayarea

@MarxistSwiftie The moment she started looking broadly viable politically is when they turned on her. Her increasing popularity is a sign she’s a sell out in their minds. If Talib ever breaks through politically they’ll treat her the same.

I'm genuinely asking, where does this extreme pessimism about AOC within the DSA Left come from? Don’t get me wrong, I think her position on the Iron Dome is bonkers. But she's still AOC!

@MattMahanSJ This guy is a clown. I hope he runs for governor so he can get a reality check from that tech fascist bubble that has him thinking he’s viable.

I’ve heard this same story again and again. Just replace the Mission District with Downtown, or Japantown, or Santa Teresa. (1/2) sfchronicle.com/sf/article/mis…

@JohnDHamblin @MattMahanSJ He’ll get dog walked if he runs. So yeah he should run.

@MattMahanSJ You should run. We need a governor who isn't a sociopath.

There are more than 1M Californians out of work and out of respect to them, I would ask that the Governor’s office spend more time implementing Prop 36 and other much-needed reforms instead of trolling employers.

@ArmandDoma There’s a SF Board of Supervisor job that’s going to be available in a few weeks. @JoelEngardio

Unfortunately, I was part of a recent restructuring and am looking for new opportunities. I’ve worked as a data analyst for 12+ years and am looking for opportunities in data/public policy analysis in the SF Bay Area! LinkedIn in replies below!
