🌁 Featured News

As the historian Robert Paxton argues in The Anatomy of Fascism, fascism is less a fixed ideology than a process that adapts to local traditions, forging coalitions with elites when conditions ripen; the forms change, the choreography repeats. Scholar Umberto Eco called it a “family resemblance”: habits that survive by wearing whatever costume a society will accept. In San Francisco, those habits are stitched from our civic self-image — competence, moderation, order — until efficiency becomes a polemic alibi.

The use of the word fascism to describe tendencies within our local government is a heavy one, and skepticism toward it is healthy. But Eco reminds us that one may name tendencies before uniforms appear. Once you know what to look for, the impulses are legible: Nostalgia for a purified past, obsession with crisis, vilification of dissent, contempt for weakness, and a manipulative moral vocabulary that renders complexity unspeakable. These are not abstractions; they describe how policy is narrated in San Francisco, where designed panic becomes emergency control and that control then becomes law.

“We need more people to get connected to folks who are tracking this escalation up close. The public needs to see how we’re taking care of business on the streets, how many are bravely showing up for the community,” they said. “The escalation is not a question of if, at this point. I believe it’s a question of when.” 

The energy of people opposing immigration enforcement downtown stands in contrast to the relative inaction by city officials, including Mayor Daniel Lurie. While he has acknowledged the SF Rapid Response Network and attempted to take credit for some efforts, he has mostly remained quiet on Trump’s orders for mass deportation. Meanwhile, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has become outspoken on the issue. This week, he used an executive order to create “ICE Free Zones” in Chicago by prohibiting the use of city property in enforcement actions.

The coalition is encouraging San Franciscans to attend the October 18th No Kings protest. SEIU 1021 President Theresa Rutherford told us there is a direct link between pro-democracy advocacy and the Airbnb boycott.

“Public resources are going to oligarchs and rich people who are super rich already, and it is clear that the federal budget is tied around cutting services to ordinary citizens… This is a microcosm of the bigger reality of a Trump administration. And so by holding Airbnb accountable, we’re literally messaging to folk that we all need to do that,” Rutherford said.

“San Franciscans, especially young people, are demanding bold solutions to today’s affordability and climate crises,” said Supervisor Jackie Fielder, co-founder of the San Francisco Public Bank Coalition. “A public bank is how we take our money back from Wall Street and reinvest it into housing, clean energy, and small businesses right here at home. This poll makes it clear: voters are ready for a Green Bank that works for the people, not for profit.” - 48 Hills

“Unfortunately, the political will from our prior mayor and our current mayor is that they’ve been unwilling to spend that [Proposition C] money on housing,” Evans said. “Instead, they’ve focused on things like zoning alone, which basically creates the capacity for some future housing that may or may not appear.” - KQED

Hollarsmith, a 33-year-old San Francisco native and a captain in the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was sailing to Gaza with humanitarian aid and supplies, has been detained by Israeli authorities since his boat was intercepted on Oct. 2 by Israeli naval forces. The San Francisco Chronicle first wrote about Hollarsmith’s journey on Oct. 5. 

His mother has criticized officials at the state and national level for having done little to ensure that members of the flotilla return to the United States safely. On the local level, Hollar said, she has only been contacted by one elected official, District 9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder.

Today's featured story covers Rainbow Grocery - putting ideals of sustainable living into practice since 1975

But the customers, Edgar thinks, sense the difference from regular grocery stores: Without top-heavy corporate control, the power balance shifts, and the relationship with store staff feels less transactional. Not everyone who shops there knows about the cooperative structure, but enough do that the dynamic shifts. “I actually do feel like the customers are a little more scared of us than they would be at a normal store,” he says. “Because they kind of know there's not some boss they can just appeal to. And I'm not saying it's good— I'm not saying they should fear us.” But, he noted, back in the day, when the store was smaller and the community more close-knit, customers treating staff like servants instead of fellow community members “led to a LOT of friction” — to put it nicely.

Before the Sunday Shift Report, here is today's featured news:

A San Francisco supervisor has proposed that police and other city agencies should have no financial consequences for breaking a landmark surveillance oversight law. In 2019, organizations from across the city worked together to help pass that law, which required law enforcement to get the approval of democratically elected officials before they bought and used new spying technologies. Bit by bit, the San Francisco Police Department and the Board of Supervisors have weakened that law—but one important feature of the law remained: if city officials are caught breaking this law, residents can sue to enforce it, and if they prevail they are entitled to attorney fees. - via EFF
