@EOakCollective A good side effect being done to escape having to pay the $6,000 "vacant property tax" (money that would go to homeless needs).

@scottagunn Hi Scott ... I guess I understand that you feel that a message stating the "fact" of the Delta variant may spread fear. However, it is the unvaccinated Trump-influenced, anti-vaxxers who refuse. "Get vaccinated" to date has not worked. So let them "eat cake."

We need to get louder than ever to get the 2002 #AUMF repeal to @POTUS’ desk and cut up this blank check for war. Can you write your Senators now? https://t.co/ftup5k9Gnl

@Kaplan4Oakland Homeless interventions could be considered, but there is ample land available to retain the building as a sports venue. Maybe a female rollerball league could augment female basketball.

@nprAudie @jazzpastord Ms Margaret hosts a "community celebration in W Oakland." I will drop by. The Oakland Museum re-opens after over a year with a free weekend (online tickets all gone before I could snag one). Oakland is hosting a 'Juneteenth Festival' at the Lake Merritt Amphitheater.

@jazzpastord Both you and the fork are simply "lying down." What is the question?

[James E Vann @jayevann]

@jesserbnwtz This slogan is a delusion. Housing is too expensive ... which is how the unhoused became homeless in the first place. A new apartment costs $600,000, 5 years to construct, & must be publicly subsidized at $1700 a month until the resident is able to pay full rent of $2400/month.

ALWAYS REMEMBER ... credit card customers are not responsible for "unauthorized purchases." Even in rare cases, the customer cannot be charged more than $50.

Stay Safe !!

[James E Vann @jayevann]

Another "Scam" Is Running Rampant.

Typically, an email, phone call, or phone message informs you that a large purchase has been made to your account. The objective of the scammer is to gain access to your computer. DO NOT FALL FOR IT !

[James E Vann @jayevann]

THIS IS A RUSE THAT PERMITS THE SCAMMER TO TO "LOCK-UP" YOUR COMPUTER AND DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE BLACKMAIL PAYMENT TO GET YOUR COMPUTER RELEASED.

Ignore these scams. Hang up the phone. Delete the message. Whatever ... BUT, DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS.

@zunguzungu @carroll_fife Oakland permitted over 20,000 residential units over the last 4 years ... practically all currently remain vacant. My gestimates. Check with Bldg Dept for current stats.

Chris Harrison - ABC's "The Bachelor" host - recently embarrassed himself & his network with racist-supportive comments. Now, it is announced that Harrison will leave & be paid $25M-$50M

Did the game get flipped ?... such that one who perpetuates racism is made filthy rich ??

@veenadubal Being "politically correct" or "conforming to the latest "foodie or enviro fads" does not apply to school kids, where "making fun of," "demeaning," "exploiting differences," and "bullying" remain constants.

A perfectly fitting description of the current crop of 260 (minus 8) no-good Congressional Rebugs:

"Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. Both should be changed regularly ... and for the same reason."

A few Dems were stupid enough to sign petitions to qualify for the ballot ... but won't repeat that mistake at the special recall election in Nov. Go Gavin !!!

The Pending "Recall" of Calif Governor Gavin Newsom

Despite a tendency toward unilateral decision-making and consulting and being negatively influenced by conservative lobbies (specifically landlords & real estate), Newsom is doing an exceptionally good job as governor.

[James E Vann @jayevann]

The current Republican-initiated "recall" -- the Repugs last-gasp attempt to gain state office in spite of having only 24% of registered voters, is wrong-headed crying in vain for a repeat of the Pete Wilson / Arnold Schwarzenegger recall.
