I look forward to the next generation instead of being inundated with the post 9-11 stereotypes in all media of Muslim men as terrorists, to see them as cutie patootie civil servants who want us all to get along.

They're calling it for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social — this is a victory for Medicare for All, for every American who has ever needed care but couldn't afford it. We are one step closer to realizing health care as a human right in this country.

This is also a big night for Muslim Americans. The U.S. has never had a Muslim senator. The post-9/11 country my generation grew up in has been plagued by rampant Islamophobia—some of that bled into this Michigan race. El-Sayed’s win tonight is a huge deal.

Of course I draw my picture of the “too close to call” and he goes and wins it. As soon as I’m done. Not tearing out the page and starting again. He gets to be drawn winning another day… like in November

Went to see the @wgoldenstate.bsky.social and omg what a time. The players are amazing. The brand partnerships, the music, the fans, vibes all of it 10/10 And it was South Asian Heritage Night (yay us) so we got Bollywood dancing for halftime too!

For cities with strong economies, policymakers must face a critical tension: - Protect existing renters, especially in rent-controlled units - Build new housing faster than job growth, and close 50-year housing production deficit Elect policymakers ready to make hard decisions, not pander

If you love our city as much as I do, I invite you to direct your energy at helping our latest newcomers become their best San Franciscans. I invite you to work towards building homes to accommodate all those who strive to build their lives and creative ventures here

For over 170 years, every generation of San Franciscans has blamed the newer arrivals - the Irish, the Chinese, the gays, the techies - for disrupting our shangri-la. Our city, after all, was perfect before "they* arrived

As always when a recipe says 45 mins I finish 3 hours later. But I have strawberry streusel muffins to show for it. Probably would be faster if I had a stand mixer and was a more regular baker… they taste wonderful though

Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?

Said it before, saying it again: the problem with nonconsensual deepfake porn sites isn't the "pornography" part, it's the "nonconsensual" part.

Japanese officials have coined an entirely new word to signify the dangerous heat of #ClimateChange. It's "kokushobi," which means "cruel heat day." This coinage is but a drop of the coming shower of cultural changes that climate change will force upon us. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/w...

This is probably silly, but every now and then I stop and look at things like viaducts, shopping carts, chickens eating corn, or cats rolling there and back in sunlight and think how incredibly unlikely all of this is in the grand scheme of things. We could've been a barren ball of rock.
