I don't do call time asking big donors for money, and I haven't sent fundraising emails or texts to San Franciscans asking for money. That's not the case for my opponents. Despite that, we've raised nearly $400,000 from almost 10,000 donors averaging just $27 a donation. We have more than 3x individual donors than my opponents combined. But I know it's not enough. In this race, I'm up against millions of dollars that Scott Wiener is raising from AIPAC board members, tech VCs, the AI lobby, crypto billionaires, and Trump megadonors. I'm up against multiple corporate super PACs. To face that kind of money, I could spend my time calling big donors for money, and then, like Scott, I'd owe them a million favors when I'm in DC. I can't do that in good conscience. Plus, they don't WANT me to win. After all, I am talking about completely changing Democratic Party leadership, passing a wealth tax on the ultrarich (including myself), and breaking the stranglehold of corporate money in our politics. And I've spent over a decade fighting for it at the federal level. Or I can choose to put in my own resources so I'll have the freedom to fight the oligarchy in Washington. I've chosen to do the latter.


“The vast majority of Chakrabarti’s donors (66%) are from outside California. In fact, only 7% of them live in San Francisco.” When @saikatc isn’t trying to buy the seat with his own money, he’s trying to buy the seat with out of state money.


BREAKING: Kamala Harris just gave the clearest signal yet she’ll run for president again in 2028. politico.com/news/2026/04/1…

You’re telling me this is what Iran looks like? They have the absolute worst PR then.

I was shocked to know that China has around 50,000 km of this HSR network and it only started building this in 2008. On directly competitive routes, Chinese HSR has led to a 24.6% reduction in flights and a 28.2% decrease in air passenger volume.


NEWS: Justice Democrats backing @saikatc in the race to replace Nancy Pelosi. Chakrabarti famously clashed with Pelosi as chief of staff to AOC in 2019, and challenged the former Speaker before she announced her retirement. Now faces Scott Wiener.

I have pretty intense adhd and when other people stopped masking I stopped remembering too as well. I knew this so I started doing weekly molecular tests bc I knew I wouldn’t forget. Nobody telling me I should mask is wrong, though. You don’t have to fight with them.

Today I learned that "Vanilla" isn't just from an orchid (WTF??!), it's an orchid that needs to be pollinated by hand because its natural pollinator, a type of tropical stingless bee, is nearly extinct.


saikat is very rich but unbought, you serve the interests of corporations and israel (which you now sheepishly backtracked on for your campaign)

Video obtained by Mission Local shows a police officer, part of Mayor Lurie's security detail, tussling with a man in the Tenderloin. The mayor looks on before walking away. The man then slams the officer to the ground, & tries to get on top of him.
