Attorney's fees are only paid for a plaintiff if they WIN their lawsuit, so by definition the cases aren't "baseless". The city and the cops are breaking the law and they want to do so consequence-free. #Surveillance #MattDorsey https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/hey-san-francisco-there-should-be-consequences-when-police-spy-illegally

What's going on in the formerly-known-as 'liberal bastion', '#GayMecca?

Like many, in recent years, esp. #queer people, I wanted to give a two-finger salute to where I live & move elsewhere

Found out wherever you want to go someone frm there tells you they're looking to move to where you live. There r good reasons marginalised people want to say 'FUCK YOU' to where they live, but there's really nowhere to go

When you talk IRL to people from places you've considered, they remind you that if the place they came from was so great, why are they talking to you in your hometown?

One of those towns that's no longer a Gay Mecca nor progressive, according to tourists, my parents' ex-pat friends, etc, is #SanFrancisco

I've learnt a bit about the old place, which is increasingly becoming a rightwing billionaire city

Mayor Lurie, a rightwing #billionaire from the #Levi'sStrauss family, is anti-poor, anti-homeless. He & leopard-food #MattDorsey (gay rightwing former cop 🐷 & drug addict who hates ProPalestinian protesters & cosplays as a politician, parachuted into Town Hall by pseudo-lib exMayor Breed) diss '#HarmReduction for addicts in favour of 'AbstinenceOnly'

#DanLurie is also has support from the #BrionesSociety (a rightwing orgn).

New #review today: "#MattDorsey has worked as a bassist with a close association with #DaveKerzner. He has also played with #Circuline and the tribute band #ProgJect. Left to his own devices, he’s created Let Go, a collection of songs very much in the style found on Kerzner’s solo albums. This might be described as progressive-leaning modern rock, somewhat similar in sound to some of the 80s Neo-Prog bands but without any of the dated production." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/matt-dorsey-let-go-2.html
