The biggest thing I wanted to highlight in talking to this news company was to highlight the corruption in Oakland's City Hall and the unfair treatment of working class landlords. @nikki4oakland @DanKalb @Kaplan4Oakland Bay Area media has not covered this story to the degree it deserves. Oakland leaders were corrupt, inept and absolute unjust in their treatment of working class landlords. They talk junk about helping black folks with reparations but it is BS because a lot of black folks have been forced to sell their generational wealth and leave Oakland for example.
Because of their corrupt ways and actions from an unfair eviction moratorium, we cannot let them slide. They gentrify people of all races. PROPERTY RIGHTS should be respected in all of the United States but this Oakland this City Council tried to take, abuse and use private citizens properties for their evil experiments in housing. Thank you @SiyamakKhorrami and @EpochTimes for allowing me to tell the story of this Oakland City Council. WE NEED TO RECALL ALL OF THEM IMMEDIATELY AND OAKLAND LANDLORDS NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! @EastBayRHA @SenecaSpeaks21 @bett_yu @pnjaban

[jonathanfleming @jonathanfleming]

Quick answer Oakland has to stay in a shit condition for others to thrive and Oaklanders exist in some crazed social experiment by folks that don't live here and just use us like suckers! Wake up everybody!

[Sokhom Mao @HonSokhomMao]

Only 32% of Oakland city workers live here. The other 68% take fat six-figure salaries home to clean suburbs. They don’t pay the parcel taxes their unions push, or live with the trash & potholes we deal with daily. They drain the Town & leave us the bill. Miss us with the!

[jonathanfleming @jonathanfleming]

Dude don't live here and trying to get us to pay for him. Dude, at least live close to the City, we aint doing that no more! Nope.

[Seneca Scott @SenecaSpeaks21]

Meet Seth Olyer, the firefighters' union president who lives in Napa Valley, works in Oakland, and wanted us to pay higher taxes for services we've already paid for.

He also seems to get confused about how old his fire engines are, and he just lost Measure E because the people of Oakland no longer trust the same old fear-based political messaging.

The comment asking, "What happened to all the money?" isn't just relevant—it's the central question City Hall refuses to answer.

And while we're asking questions, what happened to the forensic audit Mayor Barbara Lee promised us?

[MichelleHailey @LovPrideFreedom]

He should resign as the face and President of Oakland Firefigters union. It should at least be a requirement to live here. He has no credibility to ask anything of Oakland residents. He's been a Napa resident since 2016. He makes a huge salary and like his fellow Oakland firefighters their salaries pay taxes where they live.

[Marleen @marleensacks]

I want to thank all the groups and individuals who worked hard to get this insulting tax measure rejected. Ding dong Measure E is dead. https://t.co/mHbi7Oobxn

@oaklandreportca Looks like the plan might be working more UFC fights in Oakland on Friday. Call Dana White

California isn't the blue state everyone thought it was; it's a state struggling to break free from the grip of Democratic communists

[jonathanfleming @jonathanfleming]

@ZavalaA @XavierBecerra We need more. Someone running for Governor with close aides going to jail is big news.

[Kevin Kiley @KevinKileyCA]

It's time to hold California accountable for its glacial vote-counting. We've introduced the Election Results Accountability Act to require votes to be tallied shortly after polls close.

[Seneca Scott @SenecaSpeaks21]

Oakland didn’t just “lose”Measure E — we defeated over a million dollars of cabal grift $$ with the power of the TRUTH. https://t.co/YG0MywfMNG

Nailed it! #Oakland is worth saving even if it means bankruptcy to right the sinking ship #Oakland electeds have driven into the ground 🙌🏻💯🔥

[Sokhom Mao @HonSokhomMao]

Oakland leadership has LITERALLY failed this city.

❌ Can’t balance a budget or close the deficit
❌ Mismanaged the Coliseum land deal
❌ Won't stand up to unions for contract accountability & service delivery

Who is the boss here? The people of Oakland. Period.

[Sokhom Mao @HonSokhomMao]

🚨Change is coming to Oakland. The people are demanding a new direction and a complete shift in power. For too long, elected have been bound to outside interests & unions instead of the actual citizens. It’s time for leadership accountable ONLY to the Oakland community❗️Period.

[Sam Singer @samsinger]

Can one of America' oldest mayors, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, handle a major strike by her own supporters--city hall unions? Does nearly 80-year-old @BarbaraLee_CA have the strength to lead Oakland in the future? Or is she already asleep at the wheel?

[jonathanfleming @jonathanfleming]

@MysteryFountain @barrykane760 People are underestimating @TeamSteveHilton chances to win. @XavierBecerra will not debate him. It will be fun to see a debate.

[jonathanfleming @jonathanfleming]

It aint happening @BarbaraLee_CA

[NO on Measure E @StopMeasureE]

🚨 TOTAL VICTORY! Measure E is DEAD. 🚨

Oakland voters just CRUSHED DISGRACED MAYOR @Barbara_Lee’s $34 MILLION-A-YEAR PARCEL TAX SCAM 54.09% to 45.91% (100% of precincts reporting).

Under Mayor Lee’s leadership, despite ramming through Measure NN and grabbing $47 MILLION extra per year:
• OPD is stuck at only 610 sworn officers — 90 short of the legal mandate she helped sell to voters.
• Barely ~509 officers are actually on the street (82 off on leave, 19 on modified duty).
• The city is sitting on 80+ vacant police positions and over 800 other unfilled city jobs it can’t staff because of pure bureaucratic failure.
• She tried to steal the automatic property tax cut homeowners were legally owed by replacing the expiring PFRS levy with this new permanent hit on families and renters.

Voters saw the lies, the failure, and the blank check — and they said HELL NO.

This is a total rejection of one-party incompetence at City Hall.

Massive thanks to every volunteer, donor, coalition partner (Empower Oakland, ACTA, and every grassroots fighter), and voter who refused to be played again.

The reckoning has begun. Better management — not higher taxes — just won.

I just voted in the Los Angeles primary election for @spencerpratt

It's not a right vs left thing for me, this is local politics. And what I heard from the incumbents is that everything is going fine, while Pratt said "no everything is not fine. Things could be much better". IMO, everything is not fine and things could be much better.

I'll never forget the LA wild fires, when mayor @KarenBassLA was on some trip in Africa. As soon as there is word of a possible disaster risk in Los Angeles (and we were all warned days in advance), our mayor should be cancelling trips or on the first flight back home. She wasn't.

That might be excusable if things were handled well, but they weren't. It was a disaster. When I heard @KarenBassLA say during the debates the reason the response was delayed was that firefighters were accidentally sent home, my jaw was on the floor. Isn't that your job as Mayor, to make sure that in a moment of crisis everything is handled smoothly? Instead we saw empty reservoirs, a confused response, and entire neighborhoods destroyed.

It is only fitting that our mayor should be forced to run against one of the people who lost their home under her watch. If Los Angeles had been better prepared under her administration, Pratt might be chilling at home in the Palisades with his family instead of running against her.

Sure, he's unproven. He might be a terrible mayor for all I know. But I like the idea of letting someone new take the reins. Someone who has good reason to be frustrated with the status quo.

Today is only the primary election, not the general election. So today's vote will only decide who moves forward. I want Karen Bass to face off against Pratt, not Raman or anyone else, for entertainments sake if nothing else. As we learn more about the candidates I'll make a final decision about who I want to vote for. But right now, having listened to all the candidates, Pratt seems like the only one making sense.
