A square with round edges...and occasional fly on the wall.

Really proud of the CBA investment categories, but it shouldn’t be this hard to celebrate them outside of this biennial checkin. I’d love to point West Berkeley neighbors to the funded orgs for services. Cycle grantees/investment progress should live somewhere. Still hopeful 🤞🏽

For those that live below San Pablo, the reality is there are far more alarms than described. Also, fires & other occurrences don’t just impact the campus, it impacts us as well. We need adequate communication when emergencies happen at Bayer outside of regular testing.

Wild to see George Santos make the rounds regarding prison reform and "unfair" treatment while incarcerated. None of these folks gave a hoot about sentencing reform until he couldn't shave and/or wear lux drawls. Ridiculous.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This is a moral moment. Thank you @CoryBooker

@cspan Things they don’t ask Elon 😵‍💫

In the face of national tragedy, 47 starts with the foolishness. Did he even get to the moment of silence?? Whole speech was dripping with a 21st century revival of Jim Crow literacy test requirements and baseless accusations.

AG Letitia James 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

From Harlem straight to Creed III…well played.

It’s promising to see an increase of ERG’s opening opportunities for diverse business participation. It’s still a wild ride out here though & more is needed. We need innovative grant making that strengthens pathways for underserved.

What’s the parallel connection between renaming stuff and grocery pricing? #foolishness

Thank you Cecile! Our 2004 voter empowerment work was made better by strong alliances, resources and bridge building. Thankful we took the trip down memory lane and called the roll of those we miss, that you now join. Rest well.

[Denisha DeLane @itsmedenisha]

Confused by this half hearted prayer. Using this moment to selectively celebrate a portion of hostages while calling for peace is disgusting.

BTW I’m not touching the King Easter speech recitation. I’m sure we’ll have more performances from him in the near future. #Inauguration

Better question might be is Libby bold enough to encourage & support a machine running against BL. We’ll know soon enough.

Interesting mix of Oakland’s leadership out for Congresswoman Lee’s District Download. This potential community recruiting of Lee to run for Oakland Mayor mirrors the community led recruiting of Dellums. Will this be enough to stop the long list hopefuls 🤔

Let me be very clear about something. A lot of you white liberals are just as responsible for the state of our country as Trump supporters.

[Denisha DeLane @itsmedenisha]

Y’all gonna be sick of me saying born in Oakland & raised in Berkeley just like my President. Taking off the soon to be preface in 2 days. #WinWithBlackWomen

[Denisha DeLane @itsmedenisha]

Soon as they started to question her faith…I said ohhhh they have no idea! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Meech! @MeechUnleashed

[Denisha DeLane @itsmedenisha]

Tell’n it like it is! In other news, anyone notice how hard it is to find Black women in most of this Bay Area campaign lit? Even a Berkeley ballot measure campaign I agree with seems to only feature groups/orgs above MLK. That Berkeley melting pot we claim is bland.

BREAKING: Michelle Obama just laid into Donald Trump like no one has before. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this takedown

@TaplinTerry We need as many solutions possible to reduce speed at Dwight Way Cresent and along 6th between Dwight and University. 1st time I’ve seen a home hit in 15 yrs, last time it was a business a block away. Cars colliding w/ parked & moving cars have been far more frequent.

[Denisha DeLane @itsmedenisha]

Anyone else make paper from election mailers and lit? Trying to think of something simple & crafty 🤔 starting a bucket…will gather and figure out my options.
