Whether it's 2 Governors or local elected officials, I've always opposed recalls and oppose the recalls on our Nov 5th ballot.

They're undemocratic, costly, and chaotic. They prevent our officials from governing and deplete badly needed resources from our communities.

#Pulitzer winners are well worth a look. Love @MonaChalabi’s illustrations of Jeff Bezos wealth. Excited to see @PiaGuerra was a finalist too. https://t.co/y5kS4hWIVV

@fuzzymoshe Turns out our friend a few blocks away saw the whole thing: it was fireworks and yes, basically bombs, associated with a funeral procession at the end of our block! Feeling relieved.

.@oaklandpoliceca @OaklandFireCA what’s up with the booms and maybe earlier gunshots people are hearing around town?? From top of Maxwell Park sounded like it could have been coming from High st.

@fuzzymoshe @oaklandpoliceca @OaklandFireCA We heard something like gunshots before the big booms.

@Antonio45713672 Oh just saw I’m 10 hours too late. Lotta noise in the town!
