We reopened the Embassy in Venezuela!
¡Bravo! Espero que pronto mi suegra pueda venir a conocer a su nieto.
Embajada de los EE.UU. en Caracas@usembassyve
Desde 2019, el compromiso diplomático de los Estados Unidos con Venezuela se ha llevado a cabo a través de la Oficina Externa de los EE.UU. para Venezuela (VAU) en Bogotá, Colombia. Hoy, estamos reanudando formalmente las operaciones en la Embajada de los Estados Unidos en Caracas.

Are SF bike people going to protest this?
CHP San Francisco@CHPSanFrancisco
A joint CHP/SFPD operation on Saturday stopped a group of cyclists intending to take over the Bay Bridge. 85 citations were issued and 85 bicycles were seized. Full release here: conta.cc/3NSTj4H @SFPD video here: youtu.be/sCe-D9qqMSY?si…

@SusanDReynolds Nothing makes me happier than a socialist stressing out about paying taxes.

This is from a Jackie Fielder Instagram story that ran at around 3 a.m. on the day she had “turmoil in her office” and checked herself into the hospital.
English
@_bnovc @SusanDReynolds She probably owns a business and has to file business-related taxes.

In the wake of Jackie Fielder saying she planned to resign her post, District 9 leaders closed ranks.
They said the decision was ultimately hers & wished a speedy recovery, but hoped she would stay on—they are wary of Mayor Lurie picking her replacement.

@bryanculbertson @MLNow @Trevor4SF claude! you can just run claude in the folder and start interrogating the data. obv take anything it says with a grain of salt, but i ran a few prompts and the results matched what the summary reports said, so i think it's fairly reliable.
English
@JimCarrollSF @MLNow @Trevor4SF That's a lot of JSON. Can you share what tool are you using to process it into something human viewable?

@JimCarrollSF @MLNow @Trevor4SF Where are you getting your data?
RCV results on county website have 11,863 final votes for Chandler out of 32,731 total ballots
sfelections.org/results/202411…
English
@bryanculbertson @MLNow @Trevor4SF 17,235 ballots listed Trevor Chandler at any rank in the District 9 Supervisor race.
32,731 ballots had at least one vote in D9.
So ~53% of voters put him on their ballots.
English
@JimCarrollSF @MLNow @Trevor4SF Only 40% of D9 voters put Chandler on their ballot. It would go against the will of the voters to appoint him.
English
in the early days of reddit, people started organizing meet-ups. someone asked, "how will we recognize each other?"
saying "the narwhal bacons at midnight" is what they came up with. this is when i realized that you should never meet up with people you meet on reddit.
m@orphicdamsel
have any of you ever met up with someone you got to know on the internet
English
@bryanculbertson @MLNow @Trevor4SF FWIW, I'm not pretending 60% of the voters don't exist. That's an absurd framing.
They voted for someone who doesn't want the job. I'm proposing the mayor selects someone that more than 50% of D9 supervisor voters put on their ballots.
English
@bryanculbertson @MLNow @Trevor4SF Sure, re-tabulating RCV is another way to cut it. If my simulation is correct, Hernandez would've won if Fielder dropped out of the race after votes were cast. You could argue this is more democratic than picking the second-most popular candidate from the final round.
English
@bryanculbertson @MLNow @Trevor4SF I didn't propose re-tabulating RCV. I said Chandler was the most second-most popular candidate in the final round.
More than half of D9 supervisor voters listed him as a choice on their ballots, so I would not describe him as unpopular.
English
@JimCarrollSF @MLNow @Trevor4SF You can't pretend 60% of voters in D9 don't exist
If you really want to re-run IRV like you are proposing then then you need to re-assign her votes to another candidate like Stephen Torres
Chandler doesn't win if Fielder isn't in the race, because Chandler is unpopular in D9
English
@bryanculbertson @MLNow @Trevor4SF Option 1 is irrelevant. Option two would violate the charter. And option 3 is what I’m proposing. Our rank choice voting system effectively works this way, by incrementally choosing the next-most popular candidate until someone wins.
English
@JimCarrollSF @MLNow @Trevor4SF There is a gradient here obviously
Most democratic would be:
1. Fielder recovers and keeps her seat
2. Voters choose
3. Mayor appoints someone popular in the district
None of the democratic options is Mayor appoints an unpopular loser that majority of the district rejected
English
@bryanculbertson @MLNow @Trevor4SF Yes, subverting the democratically ratified City Charter is the most democratic thing in this situation.
English
English
@bryanculbertson @MLNow @Trevor4SF You’re right. Appointed someone nobody voted for is much more democratic.
English
@JimCarrollSF @MLNow @Trevor4SF It would be the opposite of democratic to appoint the loser if the election. At least a random person wasn't rejected by the district.

@bettersoma @SusanDReynolds They will poor bleach on your food if it’s slightly over temp, which is well and good, but then they turn around and do nothing about these dirty dog vendors. It is absurd.
English
@SusanDReynolds Susan. I’ve gotten health inspections for 17 years. They treat me like I’m a criminal. A failure at every level. Jollibee is coming soon.
English
I have reported on the issues with unlicensed food vendors for years. Now, I am vindicated on my concerns: out of 88 inspections there were 60 health code violations. We found warm, moldy bacon-wrapped hotdogs in boxes on the sidewalk and a source told us of hotdogs kept in home bathtubs.
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes
San Francisco's latest law could put food vendors out of business “Data team found out of 88 inspections of mobile food vendors in 2025, there were 60 health violations” The new requirements passed means street vendors must - Have a built-in handwashing station - No more home cooking - Vendors must rent time and space in approved kitchens for prep work - Carts must meet state and local health codes for sanitation, meaning they must proper sinks, temperature controls, overhead protection and access to restrooms One Spanish street vendor interviewed says she’s been operating for 14 years without any of these requirements

It’s an inconvenient truth, but in Massachusetts the “No Kings” rally is linked to the “Hands off Iran” movement. It’s literally funded and organized by the same people brainwashing democrats into believing the victims of October 7th are the perpetrators.
Trump sucks, but I will not promote hostile foreign governments trying to meddle in US politics.
I seem to remember when Democrats were upset about Russia taking similar actions. I have the unfortunate burden of holding myself to the same standards I hold others to.
Jack Kelleher@jack_kelleher16
@BriannaWu It’s interesting you’ve done multiple tweets over the last 24 hours either talking about Kylie Minogue or complaining about pro-Palestine supporters, yet no mention of the nation-wide No King rallies against Trump. For a alleged “Democrat”, you have odd priorities 🤔
