She's been allowed to leave since the moment you bought the tickets, but refusing to leave my house due to my having the Criterion Channel, and espresso machine, and good weed.

This is the liberal playbook: take grassroots energy, professionalize it, & redirect it into institutions that can monetize it & serve elite interests. /6

[Good Shepherd Collective @Shepherds4Good]

This is what "solidarity" looks like under liberal orthodoxy : you brand Palestinian suffering, you market it, you raise millions, and then you invest those millions into the US political system that arms the genocide. /11

Here's the thread of what they actually said, you'll be blown away by how blatantly dishonest Oakland Report's framing is. https://t.co/mag4uwCWOx

[The Oakland Observer @Oak_Observer]

Interesting comments from an OAS volunteer about the Miranda's rescue scandal, and how it reflects on city's animal services

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

Great to see more and more people are viewing this video. Almost all of Oakland's astroturf misinformation is built on a baseline of bad reporting. The Oakland Observer's job is to make these details revealed in the midst of hours-long meetings visible

Between now and when about 30-33 officers graduate in October, OPD will lose about 30 officers, likely bringing OPD's force down below 600 for the first time in memory. That means between this and the next academy, OPD will have produced about 9 officers.

Here is ALCO's legal counsel saying it 'in laymen's terms". "If we do the deal with Coliseum Partners [the A's] we remain on the hook [for environmental liability], if we do the deal as currently structured with OAC [AASEG/Loop], we eliminate all, as much as we can, liability"

Breaking: @CAIRNational (Council on American-Islamic Relations) has released a statement condemning @Scott_Wiener for retweeting Islamophobic tweets while asking him to apologize and meet with his Muslim constituents.

Orrick has reiterated several times that the burden is on the city to continue to maintain compliance. There's something ominous about this at this point, given even the most recent failures of control over OPD and transparency

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

With this impending reality, the attacks by CMs and Mayor on the independence of the Police Commission is harder to believe. The OPC will take over the role of the monitor to stay in compliance with the tasks, but the City is telegraphing it wants the weakest oversight possible

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

This is the perfect synthesis of the issue.
"Public trust in Oakland's government is low. That is not on civilian-represented employees. It's on City leadership for writing a blank check to OPD while failing to invest in the workforce that also delivers essential services"

[roseability 🇵🇸 ✊🏻🖤 @_roseability]

@Oak_Observer It's certainly one of the factors driving the narrative, and they use it liberally.

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

WHAT THE FUCK????

Did this happen to anyone else?

[roseability 🇵🇸 ✊🏻🖤 @_roseability]

@Oak_Observer Wait, what? Residents, not developers?

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

My experience with other jurisdictions' police in Oakland leads me to believe that either through very visible public signals or actual convos, OPD has given other PD's wide discretion to walk all over our City.

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

No duh! Only reason Oakland Report exists and its writers aren't in jail is because it's legal to lie in political campaigns, which is all Oakland Report is. I've heard the explanation of the PFRs reduction at half a dozen meetings. It's easy to find, and here it is in writing

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

If you were a centimillionaire, you can dump millions of dollars invisibly in local politics, create an influence campaign through fake non profits, literally purchase coverage in local media. How do we know this? Because that's defined the last 7 years of local politics

Today somebody came to the door when I knocked, took one look at my shirt and said, "C4C, Yes on E! I've seen your posts...I hate Empower Oakland, they're just a bunch of landlords!" 😂
