city of oakland officials believe that the tiny home approach is the answer to quick and affordable housing for the houseless. tiny homes are a capitalist manifestation. no one should be confined to a hot and a cot. we need adequate housing . not sheds with beds.

May those using the word “wokeism” to create fear about & dismissal of truth confront their reasons for doing so.

At its inception, “woke” was used to describe people who were conscious of overt & systemic racism & other injustices.

Who has reason to fear the word or the truth?

Around 200 people at Rikers are on hunger strike & they're using one the ultimate forms of protest that people inside have to call our attention to the conditions they face. These ppl are putting their health & bodies on the line for their freedom. We need more attention on this!
