Not every San Franciscan is a fan of Mayor Daniel Lurie’s prolific online presence. The day after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents clashed with activists trying to disrupt deportations outside San Francisco’s immigration court, Lurie broke news on his Instagram account that Pop Mart, the maker of Labubu plush dolls, was opening a store at the city’s beleaguered Union Square.
“It’s troublingly dystopian to see this video about Labubus from you while your constituents are being kidnapped by federal agents, and those who are trying to stop that from happening are being brutalized,” reads a comment from an account called Concerned City & County of San Francisco Workers reacting to Lurie’s Instagram reel. “Is this what you want your legacy to be?”
The answer appears to be yes…
