Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Kevin and D discuss the headlines of the day, starting with San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s bodyguard getting bodychecked and Lurie’s bullshit claims of anti-semitism at his anti-Prop I presser. We also dive into Garry Tan’s fight against the billionaire tax and the debate over Flock surveillance.
