Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. The election came Tuesday and well, most of the results sucked. Donald Trump won, California made stupid decisions over state propositions, and the recalls of Mayor Sheng Thao and DA Pamela Price probably succeeded.

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. With the election coming next Tuesday, we thought we'd dedicate an episode to Prop D, an insidious attempt by the wealthy to take over San Francisco politics. It's such a brazen plan they made a Power Point outlining their entire plan and this is a big part of it. On the show are Doug Engmann, a former president of the San Francisco Planning Commission who's been active in San Francisco politics for over 50 years; and Jeremy Mack of the Phoenix Project, a non-profit researching the connection between the rich and political movements in San Francisco. We get into the real purpose of Prop D, the consequences regular folks will face if it passes and how this isn't even the first time San Francisco has seen a movement like this.Follow Doomloop Dispatch on X: @doomloopdispInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomloopdispatch Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DoomloopDispatch SOURCES:Douglas Engmann’s editorial on Prop D:https://www.sfexaminer.com/proposition-d-offers-laughable-solutions-to-sf-problems/article_e04761be-8a28-11ef-bfe0-27e10fade7a4.htmlMission Local story on Prop D that cites Phoenix Project researchhttps://missionlocal.org/2024/09/togethersf-wants-structural-change-in-city-hall-internal-doc-shows-its-just-beginning/The Together SF presentationhttps://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25084561-togethersf-july-2023-presentationRSVP to Phoenix Papers Vol.3 Launchhttps://lu.ma/c2owc8ee

Hello and welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m your host, Kevin L.Jones, and I’m just doing a short one this week where I’m shooting from the hip! No really, I’m improvising.

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show about the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, I talk with State Senate candidate Jovanka Beckles. In short, Beckles is a real hero for the progressive left in the Bay Area. She’s taken on Chevron, the Obama political machine, and every other corporate villain or institutional enemy trying to hurt the people. It’s a great talk that I think everyone can learn from. BTW I am definitely NOT objective in this interview. I want Beckles to win and I want YIMBY bootlicker AKA mayor of Berkeley Jesse Arreguin to lose. You’ll hear why in the interview.Support Jovanka here!https://jovanka4casenate.com/Follow the show on Twitter (I refuse to call it X): @doomloopdisp Instagram: / doomloopdispatch Patreon:   / doomloopdispatch

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show that covers the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Network State is all about capturing cities and changing them so they cater to tech elites, and we get into how psychotic that is.
