On Día de los Muertos the Mission ‘remembers with beauty’

Sign up below to get Mission Local’s free newsletter, a daily digest of news you won’t find elsewhere. Surrounded by altars, marigolds, and candlelight, Marco Ruiz stood out from the crowd. In lieu of an elaborate memorial, Ruiz simply hugged a large framed photo of his brother Martin, who had died two days after his 19th birthday.Ruiz was stoic, taking in the scene. When asked about his brother, however, he smiled. “He thought he was the best dancer,” Marco grinned. In reality, “he was so bad — but he didn’t care.” After Martin was killed in a car accident years ago, 1,000 people attended the funeral, Marco added. Now, only the oldest kids remember him. On Día de los Muertos on Saturday, the Mission, like the Ruizes, was focused on celebrating the past.  Want the latest on the Mission and San Francisco? […]

Meet the first-time campaigners behind Prop. L

閱讀中文版The third door that 16-year-old Rowan Gleser knocked on was abruptly slammed in Gleser’s face. “I can’t believe you rang my doorbell twice on a Sunday afternoon,” the person behind the door said, Glaser recalled. “I’m voting against whatever you’re campaigning for.” It was one of the International High School junior’s first times canvassing, and the cold response was jarring. But, Gleser said, the community of people behind Yes on L, a volunteer-led campaign, buoyed them.  Amid the onslaught of granular election news, it’s easy to forget that many San Franciscans like Gleser have become politically active for the first time. Several of these — including a transplant from Canada, a disability advocate, and a Reno native who has given up their car — have rallied behind Prop. L, which would tax ride-hailing and autonomous vehicle companies to fund Muni. Window signs, literature, […]

The US is pumping more oil than ever, and it’s complicating things for other crude-exporting countries

Anton Petrus/Getty Images US crude production hit a new all-time monthly high in August. This complicates things for OPEC+, which was planning to start increasing output in December. Oil is down 20% from April highs, causing some exporters to be cautious about how much they're pumping. The US is pumping a record amount of oil. But that may not be welcome news to other crude-producing nations. Domestic output reached 13.4 million barrels a day in August, eclipsing all previous monthly records. According to US Energy Information Administration data, firms in Texas and New Mexico led the surge. That level of production puts the US at odds with the plans of other oil-producing nations. OPEC+, an alliance led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, has said it plans to begin in December a sequence of monthly output increases. But given the decline […]

Ukraine fooled Russia with the same deceptions Germany used at WWII’s Battle of the Bulge

Some observers have argued surprise attacks are nearly impossible due to wide surveillance.Ukraine's Kursk invasion caught Russia by surprise and followed time-honored tactics.The question for Ukraine is whether Kursk will fare better than Germany's Battle of the Bulge.When Ukraine unleashed its Kursk offensive in August, it wasn't just the Russians who were surprised.Some experts had argued that large-scale attacks were no longer possible in modern warfare. Any attempt to mass forces for a penetration would be quickly detected by drones, spyplanes or satellites, the thinking went, enabling the defender to reinforce his defenses."The proliferation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in the Ukraine-Russia war has created a transparent battlefield marked by near-persistent surveillance, making operational surprise difficult to achieve," according to a blog by the US Army's Training and Doctrine Command.But despite hordes of Russian drones keeping an eagle eye for […]
