If you're in San Francisco we want to see you on May 29th!

We're teaming up with Bay Resistance, Tech Workers Coalition, Secure Justice and more to host an event to pressure Lowe's into dropping its contract with Flock, the notorious surveillance company that's been tapped by ICE to target our communities, used to investigate those seeking abortion care, and surveil protesters:

See you in San Francisco!

NEW from @bay161

The founder of a SPLC designated Hate Group headquartered in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco has just been identified.

So lets rip that klan hood off...

This article got me thinking about #SanFrancico and its problems and the parallels with other cities like #Minneapolis and #StPaul

"Jacobs wrote in 1958 that large-scale office districts would not revitalize downtowns."

During my recent visit to SF, I noticed that the areas that seemed to be doing the best were the most diversified.

I liked this idea  "the best way to plan for downtown is to see how people use it today; to look for its strengths and reinforce them."

Had dinner at Mel's #Diner. There was a young couple in the corner that reminded me of myself 30+ years ago after I had moved to #SanFrancico. When I paid my bill, I paid thiers as well before slipping out the door. They had only ordered some fries, probably trying to have a cheap date. Wish them the best.

FYI, I forgot my #DJI #drone controller at home, so no drone #photos this trip, oh well.

Giving police the ability to kill civilians with robots is totally normal & cool and it will absolutely not be expanded and abused in the future.
