FKA Fat Contradiction. CWA Local 9404. I Don't Even Own a Television was a good podcast.

If the mayoral results hold up, one thing I know for sure is that Loren Taylor will selflessly devote himself to be of service to his beloved Oakland however he can and definitely won't start shaking down his financial backers to find his next run for mayor.

It must’ve felt good as hell to be in the replacements … smoking fuckin cigs … playing bad shows … drunk off your ass with a damn 13 year old

The absentee suburban white landlords who redlined Oakland sure think you are stupid

Ron MacLean: do you think Seth Jarvis and his friends have ever explored each other’s bodies? Maybe on a hot summer night in the ‘peg? Our nation was built on exploration after all. Jacques Cartier. Right this way.

Elliott Friedman: I’m not hearing too much about this Ron

When you realize that Oakland's entire political fabric is blown out so about 650 cops who invest half of our general purpose fund in suburban mcmansions can get more money, it's pretty crazy this isn't a story every week here.

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

We don't have a media that can convey this is the way local politics works. We have a nihilistic group with inordinate access to media and power who just want Oakland to fail so they can preside over the ashes---which media will then report are blooming roses, like with Lurie

@e_w @hyphy_republic What?

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

I honestly don't understand why Oaklandside is basically just running op-eds as news now. Perhaps its because they've succumbed to the local media environment where you can't mention that monied groups and people basically just call media and tell them what to do.

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

Almost anyone you talk to who has been involved in actual grassroots organizing in the bay will tell you that a small group of individuals can make a call to KTVU, ABC7, et al, & place their press conference featuring 7 people ahead of the GR organizing that brought out 500.

@hyphy_republic I'm glad you're safe! It's scary out there -- last year, I was riding home from work, in the bike lane on Oak under the highway there, and a car passed me *on my right*. I barely ride anymore, because the fear hasn't worn off yet.

@baseballcrank @NRO Hey Dan, it looks like the CMS ate all your citations in the "of course" paragraphs and following, would you mind reupoloading those tia.

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

@cmarinucci Why doesn't its board member, recall organizer and centi-millionaire, Isaac Abid pay for it? Or is that the "halfway there' part. Generally, media owned by wealthy developers is not conventionally known as "independent" journalism.

[Jaime Omar Yassin @hyphy_republic]

Media isn't capable of analyzing Oakland's dysfunction, because it is one of the largest parts of it, including misleading public about how police are funded and OPD being single largest UNCONTROLLED expense. As long as there is an OPOA, that won't stop https://t.co/Ns514voEKZ

I've been reading comics for 40 years. manga for at least 35. I will continue to do so. but I also believe they have done immense, possibly irreversible damage to the human brain

What this story actually says is that housekeepers will be making $100k SIX YEARS FROM NOW based on “a compounded growth rate of more than 5 percent annually.” This headline is designed to generate screeching from anti union morons, and it succeeded.
