“As an adjudicated insurrectionist, Trump is an illegitimate president according to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, and therefore every official act as president will be illegitimate.”
–Mike Zonta, co-editor of OccupySF.net
The 14th Amendment states: “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

One ordinance is holding back the city from constructing spectacular mid-rise buildings

Sidell Pakravan Architects’ light-filled proposal for a six-story single-stair building in San Francisco won second place in the National Single Stair Architectural Design Competition.Rendering by Sidell Pakravan Architects
It used to be quite common to build lovely mid-rise, medium-sized apartment buildings throughout San Francisco.
Not anymore.
The San Francisco Planning Department’s 2024 Housing Inventory Report showed that of the 1,735 homes added that year, only 163 were in medium-sized buildings (5 to 19 units).
That’s a shame for a variety of reasons.
I recently wrote about what San Francisco could learn from Parisian-style density in the form of six-story buildings. Paris’ Haussmann buildings make uniformity elegant. Great attention is paid to materials and design details and bringing in an abundance of light and air. At ground level, the buildings activate the street with cafes, restaurants and shops. It’s what many refer to as gentle density, bridging the gap between high-rises and single-family homes.
So, why aren’t we building more of those here?
Typically, modern apartment buildings require two exit stairwells, connected by a hallway. These rules were implemented for fire safety. But they make it particularly difficult to fit multifamily developments on San Francisco’s small neighborhood lots. That second set of stairs takes up way more space and costs way more money than you might think and dictates to a large degree what a building ends up looking like — typically not for the better. Long double-loaded corridors result in smaller units with fewer windows and less light. More money and attention need to be paid to the exits and the hallways. The look of the facade and the building interior suffers.
Eliminating the two-stairwell requirement allows for design flexibility — from the ability to fit a greater diversity of unit types (a four-bedroom unit on one floor, for example, with two studios and two one bedrooms on another) to including more windows and open space, which brings in more natural light and ventilation. Losing a staircase also helps reduce construction costs by an estimated 6% to 13%.
Despite advances in fire mitigation technology, the U.S. is among only a handful of nations where cities still widely mandate two stairwells in new multifamily construction. California requires two stairway exit routes in all multiunit apartments above three stories.
Architects, planners and housing advocates have become increasingly interested in legalizing so-called “single stair” developments.
The recent National Single Stair Architectural Design Competition showed us what could be possible if this reform were to be implemented in San Francisco.
The competition’s design criteria were straightforward. Buildings could have a maximum height of only 75 feet and a maximum of six stories and no more than four units per floor. No parking was required.
Entries were judged in three regions across the country. The Bay Area winners were particularly compelling.
In first place was Steplight by David Baker Architects, a firm that has done the lion’s share of well-designed affordable housing in the Bay Area. Inspired by San Francisco’s pre-war apartments, the light-filled six-story building shows what kind of architecture single-stair rules can unlock on a narrow lot in a dense urban neighborhood.
Steplight has 10 units, but it feels of a piece with its low-slung neighbors. Its tiered massing, cascading open space and large light wells provide spaciousness and outdoor connection. The openness keeps the building from taking light from its neighbors — perhaps the most common salvo thrown in opposition to multistory apartments. There’s a mix of units from studios to four-bedrooms on five levels with a modest ground-floor cafe and accompanying parklet to activate the street.
The project, its architects explain in their statement, “realizes the potential of San Francisco’s recent upzoning throughout its western and northern neighborhoods.” They credit single stair reform as “an opportunity to leverage modern building technology while reinvesting in the tried and true qualities of old, midrise, dense apartment living.”
Meanwhile, Sidell Pakravan Architects’ second-place entry, called appropriately enough, Let Me Live in Your City, uses elemental architectural strategies — light, air and street connection — to create an open and architecturally dynamic nine-unit, six-story building on a narrow lot on a mixed-use street near the city’s Mission District. There are one-bedroom and three-bedroom units that appeal to different family sizes. Every unit has access to natural light, ventilation and a direct relationship with the street and with the city.
“Single-stair,” architect Rudabeh Pakravan explained to me, “fosters a strong sense of community. Rather than sharing a hallway with 60 other units, you’re sharing a stair with just a few neighbors you can see and interact with more personally.”
Pakravan and Sidell see single stair as a timely and radical way to completely rethink housing in the U.S.
“We’re optimistic, but there’s not the platform in the real world to do it yet,” Pakravan said.

That could change. And soon.
Assembly Bill 2252 from Assembly Member Alex Lee, D-San Jose, co-authored by Assembly Member Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, and state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, could soon pave the way for single-stair reform in California. On Wednesday, the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee is holding a hearing on the bill, which directs the Department of Housing and Community Development to propose building standards for single-stairway multiunit residential apartments of up to six stories.
The Cal Fire Office of the State Fire Marshall is not a fan of single-stair reform, citing potential fire danger. But its report, issued earlier this year, acknowledged the spiraling costs associated with current regulations.
There’s a separate column to be written about the many ways fire safety impacts architectural design. But for our purposes here, I will simply opine that global best practices show a second stair requirement for six-story buildings persists out of an abundance of caution rather than necessity.
What excites so many architects and advocates — and me — is that single-stair enables more efficient and attractive buildings on small lots. As Bryan Alcorn of David Baker Architects told me, “It opens up a path where we could build at a modest scale, adding housing and density more incrementally.”

Instead of fighting over giant towers or massive transit-oriented development projects (though I believe we need those, too), we can expand opportunities for housing in high-demand neighborhoods without changing those neighborhoods too dramatically.
The American Dream should be achievable without a single-family home. But we’ve got to find ways to provide a compelling multifamily alternative. Single stair could help get us there.

Is Iran Decolonizing the World? A Dialogue on Colonial Mentality | W/ David Hundeyin & Indi.ca by BettBeat Media
Indi.ca and David Hundeyin talk to us about the horrors of internalized colonialism and racism. How Western media and culture make you racist. Iran seems to change this. Watch video and Read on Substack.
Is Your Mind Still Colonized?
Do you unconsciously rank people—even those who look and sound like you—on a scale of worth? Did you grow up believing the West and whiteness were the pinnacle of civilization, the sole arbiters of democracy and progress?
Colonial mentality is not just a relic of the past; it is a living, breathing evil—one of the most insidious legacies ever imposed on humanity.
In this conversation, David Hundeyin and Indi.ca help us expose the roots of this condition and challenge us to confront the biases we’ve inherited.
Today, April 20, 13 boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla are taking direct action, coordinating a disruption against the transfer of raw materials to israel as it continues its genocide against Palestinians. Under the Geneva Conventions, Genocide Convention and Arms Trade Treaty, states are required to halt arms transfers to israel, an occupying entity that the UN has officially designated an illegal occupation of the Palestinian Territories since 1967.
The Mediterranean Sea must be decolonized. We will not wait for the complicit governments to act while injustice continues unchecked.
We do not take our responsibilities lightly and will not delay our departure. We refuse to stand by while international law is ignored. We also refuse to sail past ships carrying goods and supplies to those committing war crimes without doing everything in our power to disrupt the supply chain.

President Trump has signed an executive order to ease research restrictions on psychedelics, including the drug ibogaine, which is used in some countries to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
Health officials, including Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and podcaster Joe Rogan joined Mr. Trump in the Oval Office for the signing Saturday.
Mr. Trump said the order will “dramatically accelerate access to new medical research and treatments based on psychedelic drugs,” which he said have shown “life-changing potential.”
Mr. Trump said that the federal government will make a $50 million research investment into psychedelic research. He said the federal government was also opening a pathway for ibogaine to be administered to “desperately ill patients” under the Food and Drug Administration’s Right To Try rule.
“Everybody is so strongly in favor of this. It’s for a lot of people, but it’s for our veterans in particular,” Mr. Trump said, highlighting veteran suicide rates.
“If these turn out to be as good as people are saying it’s going to have a tremendous impact on this country and in other countries too,” Mr. Trump added.
Food and Drug Administration commissioner Marty Makary said that three psychedelics would be added to the National Priority Voucher pilot program, which is a pathway meant to dramatically reduce review times for drug and biological products that align with U.S. national health priorities. The FDA will also begin the process to allow for researchers to conduct human trials into ibogaine’s use, he said.
“This is an unmet public health need and there are potentially promising treatments,” Makary said. “That’s why there is a sense of urgency around this.”
CBS News first reported that Mr. Trump was expected to sign the order earlier this week.
Ibogaine is a naturally occurring compound found in a shrub native to Africa. It has been used to treat depression, anxiety, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder and brain trauma. Researchers say ibogaine could eventually fill a gap in addiction treatment, particularly for opioid dependence, but more large-scale clinical trials are needed before it can be considered safe or effective for any condition.
Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams, who served in Mr. Trump’s first administration, said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that early studies into ibogaine and other psychedelics have shown “potential for rapid improvements in symptoms and functioning in treatment-resistant cases” of people with mental health illnesses.
The order maintains full FDA and Drug Enforcement Administration oversight, Adams said, and does not legalize or reclassify psychedelics.
The scientific evidence behind the drug so far consists mostly of small observational studies and open-label trials. Only one double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial has been completed. More advanced trials have been started recently, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill approving $50 million for research last year. It is unclear how the federal government will help facilitate further research. Sources told CBS News that strategies were still being hammered out in internal discussions this week.
As a Schedule I substance, ibogaine is currently grouped by the Drug Enforcement Administration alongside substances including heroin and ecstacy. Americans have traveled to unregulated clinics, often in Mexico or the Caribbean, to take the drug. Studies show that ibogaine can cause dangerous heart rhythm disturbances, which can be fatal. A 2023 review of 24 studies including 705 people called the risk of death from heart problems “worrying,” and showed that at least 27 people have died after taking ibogaine.

While California Governor Gavin Newsom was unsuccessful at implementing single-payer health care during his reign, three 2026 candidates have all included promises in their platforms to fight for CalCare in the state.
Single-payer health care has been a recurring but unresolved issue in California for nearly a decade. Gavin Newsom backed the concept during his 2017 campaign, but the proposal — often referred to as CalCare — never advanced into law, leaving it stalled without sufficient legislative support.
As KSEE24/KRON4 reports, among the current candidates, three have clearly aligned themselves with a single-payer policy: Katie Porter, Tom Steyer, and Xavier Becerra, which the outlet confirmed through public statements, social media posts, and responses to media inquiries.
A spokesperson for Porter said she has consistently backed single-payer, pointing to recent posts where she called it the only way to guarantee high-quality care for all Californians and framed the issue as urgent amid what she describes as a growing health care crisis.
CalMatters reports that Steyer had previously opposed single-payer health care during his 2020 campaign but changed his mind last year. In a recent video, he linked the proposal to broader concerns about affordability in California, arguing it would significantly reduce health care costs statewide, per KSEE24.
Becerra, who has reportedly supported single-payer for decades, reiterated that stance in campaign messaging, saying he would continue pushing toward a universal system as governor. In multiple posts marking the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, he said he’s prepared to go further by pursuing single-payer coverage in California.
KSEE24 reports that if CalCare is adopted, it would establish a universal, no-cost health care system for residents, eliminating premiums, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket expenses. A version of the plan introduced this year in the California State Assembly outlines comprehensive coverage and a state-run cost control system intended to expand access to care.
The Inside California Politics gubernatorial primary debate is scheduled to air at 7 pm Wednesday, April 22, across multiple California television markets and streaming platforms.

“You cannot faithfully represent the United States with billions of dollars in Saudi and Emirati cash burning a hole in every pocket of every suit you own,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin.
The ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee on Friday morning announced a “sweeping” probe into alleged self-enrichment by Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump who has served as a high-profile White House envoy in the Middle East while also, according to Congressman Jamie Raskin, “soliciting billions of dollars from Gulf monarchies for [his] private business ventures.”
In a letter addressed to Kushner, the Maryland Democrat charges that by pushing for investments in his international investment firm, A Fin Management LLC (Affinity), while also serving as “Special Envoy for Peace” for the Trump administration, he has created “a glaring and incurable conflict of interest” in the eyes of the American people.
While Raskin points out that Kushner repeatedly vowed to stay out of government during Trump’s second term and, going further, said he would not raise funds for Affinity during that time, both promises were “quickly” broken.
In April of 2022, the New York Timesreported how Kushner had secured a $2 billion investment from a sovereign wealth fund directed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MbS. In 2018, during Trump’s first term, investigations were demanded over accusations that previous financial ties meant that MbS had Kushner “in his pocket.”
According to Raskin’s letter on Friday:
Mr. Kushner’s investment firm, Affinity Partners, has amassed approximately $6.16 billion in assets under management—including $1.2 billion in the past year alone—with an extraordinary 99 percent of its funding derived from foreign nationals. These include sovereign wealth funds operated by the governments of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. At the same time, Mr. Kushner has assumed a central role in sensitive geopolitical negotiations across the Middle East and beyond.
Despite explicit public assurances that he would avoid both government service and fundraising during President Trump’s second term, Mr. Kushner has done precisely the opposite. He has inserted himself into the world’s most volatile global conflicts as one of the United States’ chief negotiators all while deepening his financial reliance on, and entanglement with, foreign governments.
Citing the horrific US complicity in Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza as well as Trump’s illegal war of choice against Iran, Raskin’s letter to Kushner charges that “your decision to play completely irreconcilable and unethical dual roles has been haunting American foreign policy since President Trump returned to Washington in 2025.”
Noting that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia remains “your largest investor through Affinity and thus possesses significant financial leverage over” Kushner, Raskin explains to the president’s son-in-law in his letter that “you cannot both be a diplomat and a financial pawn of the Saudi monarchy at the same time; you cannot faithfully represent the United States with billions of dollars in Saudi and Emirati cash burning a hole in every pocket of every suit you own.”
Due to these concerns, explained Raskin, the House Committee on the Judiciary investigation will probe “your conduct and that of your firm with the goal of learning information critical to reforming our bribery laws, conflict of interest provisions, other statutes and rules governing the conduct of government and special government employees, and FARA.”
Offering a list of requests, the letter demands that Kushner provide a detailed account of his communications with various investment partners and entities related to his business dealings and that of his work as special envoy to the president, with a deadline of April 30 to comply.
“This investigation will be a priority for our Committee in the coming period,” Raskin’s letter states. “We expect your full cooperation and that you will provide us with all relevant documents that touch upon how your business interests, family wealth, and governmental duties and missions have merged and converged.”

A new poll of the California governor’s race shows the early effects of former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s fall from grace.
After several allegations of sexual assault and misconduct against the Bay Area congressman broke over the last week, Swalwell abruptly exited the California governor’s race. He had been one of the leaders of the Democratic pack, and with him no longer running, the field is once again wide open, a new poll from Emerson College shows.
The poll, commissioned by conservative-leaning Nexstar Media Group and KTLA-TV’s “Inside California Politics,” is the first major survey since Swalwell dropped out. It offers an early snapshot of how Democratic voters are reshuffling their support, although two Republican candidates are still holding an advantage at the very top.
Republican and former Fox News contributor Steve Hilton ranked highest with 17% support, making him the strongest candidate in the crowded field so far. His support has been narrow but steady for the last several months, and earlier this month he received an endorsement from President Donald Trump, which could help unify Republican voters.
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, the other major Republican in the race, follows Hilton with 14% support. Bianco is tied with billionaire Tom Steyer, a Democrat and former presidential candidate, whose inundation of the airwaves with ads has helped him pull ahead among the Democrats in the primary race.
Swalwell had been closely competing in the polls with Steyer and former Orange County congresswoman Katie Porter before he dropped out. In the Emerson survey, Porter had 10% support, continuing her roller coaster election season as she’s moved up and down in the polls.
Xavier Becerra, former health secretary and former California state attorney general, benefited the most from Swalwell’s departure, gaining 15 points among Democrats, the executive director of Emerson College Polling, Spencer Kimball, said in a Thursday news release. Becerra notched 10% overall support in the poll, a huge leap from his polling in the low single digits over the last few months.
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan trailed behind the other candidates with 5% support. However, multiple billionaires have begun to back him after the demise of Swalwell’s campaign, Forbes reported. He was already the favorite of the tech donor class, raking in millions from Silicon Valley.
With Hilton and Bianco remaining at the top so close to the June 2 primary, it could be a wake-up call for Democrats who may end up splitting the vote too thin if the field doesn’t narrow soon. Under the state’s primary system, the two top candidates move forward to the general election regardless of party affiliation.
One of the biggest considerations though, is that 23% of voters are still undecided, suggesting that there is still significant room for change as the primary approaches. Pollsters from other surveys had previously pointed to the lack of enthusiasm among voters in the governor’s race so far.
The Emerson College poll also shows some of the top issues that are driving voter preferences.
The economy is the main issue for 41% of voters, according to the poll, maintaining its lead since April 2025. Housing affordability was the most important issue for 20% of voters, followed by threats to democracy at 10%, and crime, immigration and health care all at 6%.
The Emerson College poll surveyed 1,000 likely primary voters April 14-15. (The Swalwell allegations became public April 10, with Swalwell withdrawing from the governor’s race April 12 and announcing his resignation from Congress on April 13). The survey was only offered in English and the margin of error is 3 percent. Respondents were contacted by email and by text, where they were provided an online link.
California voters will decide which two candidates are to move on to the general election in a June 2 vote. The general election is scheduled to be held Nov. 3.

CNA learned that the Assembly does not expect to refer A.B. 1900 to a hearing, halting its advancement in the legislature
California Nurses Association (CNA) members urge the California State Assembly to advance A.B. 1900, the California Guaranteed Health Care for All Act, also known as CalCare, at a time when health care is needed more urgently than ever before. The failure to advance A.B. 1900 shows a lack of leadership and a capitulation to corporate health care interests. CalCare is a comprehensive, high-quality single-payer program that would be many Californians’ only lifeline for care. Nurses remain relentless in their pursuit to guarantee health care as a human right in the state.
“We condemn this disgraceful move by the California State Assembly to stop CalCare from moving forward in the legislature,” said CNA Executive Director Puneet Maharaj. “Nurses know that Californians desperately need guaranteed health care. We have fought for decades to ensure that health care is a human right, regardless of patients’ ability to pay.
“Any delay in CalCare directly impacts the health of Californians,” continued Maharaj. “We can’t wait for the disastrous impacts of H.R. 1 or for more people to die. NOW is the time to pass CalCare. Our legislators still have time to do the right thing.”
CalCare was reintroduced in the Assembly on Feb. 12, 2026. A recent poll conducted by David Binder Research found that nearly two-thirds of California voters want to see transformational changes, not minor reforms, to California’s broken health care system. Uncertainty and anxiety about health care costs have been rising – exacerbated by unprecedented trillion-dollar cuts at the federal level – with more than 40 percent of voters saying it’s become harder to afford health care in the past several years. The poll also shows that more than three-quarters of Democrats are more likely to support a candidate for governor if they were to run on creating a single-payer system.
California’s union nurses, represented by CNA, are committed to continuing to lead the organizing to build the grassroots movement necessary to win support for and pass CalCare. More than 300 organizations have endorsed CalCare, including the California Federation of Labor Unions, ACLU California Action, California Faculty Association, California Federation of Teachers, California School Employees Association, California Teachers Association,, California Working Families Party, The Arc of California, University Professional and Technical Employees, and United Auto Workers (Region 6). Hundreds of patients and community activists have already filled four town halls earlier this year to learn about CalCare. Supporters have held drop-in actions at nearly 100 district offices in support of CalCare and dialed some 20,000 Californians to drive more than 750 calls to the Capitol. At the California Democratic Party’s Convention in February, several hundred people rallied for the passage of CalCare.
Nurses are grateful to the 25 legislators who are joint authors or coauthors of CalCare. A.B. 1900’s joint authors are Assemblymembers Ash Kalra, Isaac Bryan, Alex Lee, Liz Ortega, and Chris Rogers. The bill’s principal coauthors are Assemblymembers Damon Connolly, Sade Elhawary, and Nick Schultz and Senator Lena Gonzalez and Senate Pro Tem Emeritus Mike McGuire. The coauthors include Assemblymembers Dawn Addis, Robert Garcia, Matt Haney, John Harabedian, Corey Jackson, Tina McKinnor, Celeste Rodriguez, LaShae Sharp-Collins, and Rick Chavez Zbur and Senators Josh Becker, Dave Cortese, John Laird, Sasha Renée Perez, Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, and Scott Wiener. Nurses are also deeply appreciative of the ongoing efforts of Assemblymember Mia Bonta, Chair of the Assembly Health Committee, to pass CalCare.
Nurses are calling on the California legislature to do the right thing and refer CalCare to committee before the deadline.
California Nurses Association/National Nurses United is the largest and fastest-growing union and professional association of registered nurses in the nation with more than 100,000 members in more than 200 facilities throughout California and more than 225,000 RNs nationwide.
