How did Empower Oakland even come into being? Did they doorknock & build political power? Was it some local neighborhood struggle bringing folks together as so many other orgs? No, Loren Taylor invented it & his PR handlers called tv stations & announced it was a community group

Authorities in Mississippi have found a body believed to be missing teen Nolan Xavier Wells, 18, who was last seen on Horn Island on July 4. ABC News’ Alex Perez has the latest.

When I did a 1990 interview with Byron De La Beckwith, who killed Mississippi NAACP leader Medgar Evers in 1963, most Americans bristled at Beckwith’s beliefs. Now, 35 years later, the assassin is dead, but some of the views he promulgated are reemerging in new forms. mississippitoday.org/2025/12…

This is probably going to go unreported but this might be the most shocking thing any talking head has ever said on television. He straight up just said we should murder all homeless people.
A Fox News anchor saying "Or involuntary lethal injection or something just kill them" about people living on the streets live on air. This and the dehumanization that comes from this - is what political violence looks like.

Two things can be true at once: —There is no place in America for political violence. —Charlie Kirk is a piece of shit.

No disrespect to the American left but I assume most people who can hit a target with precision from 200 yards don’t go to DSA meetings

"Unfortunately, [we will have] some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk

This is a good time to remind ourselves of the two Democratic Minnesota lawmakers who were shot just a few months ago. And Trump didn't lower the flags for them or any school shooting.

Oakland, CA. Loved how Barbara Lee called out Loren Taylor by offering him some great advice; "Start meeting folks, and stop whining on the internet". In my opinion, viewing Mr. Taylor's antics, there is NO way that he shoukd be taken seriously, not as a Mayoral candidate at least. Taylor and his people is making the choice VERY clear. Rep. Lee is actually MEETING Oaklanders, not sketchy organizations , characters etc. A losing candidate resorts to his sort of nonsense. We need a STRONG leader, we don't need a whiner a complainer, we NEED strong, decisive ve leadership and wisdom. Unfortunately, Mr. Taylor is destroying his own credibility, and making himself look worse every day. Oaklanders will reject him on April 15th, and they will reject him in future futile attempts to become Mayor of Oakland. Mr. Taylor should not underestimate Barbara Lee. She is no lightweight. If he was wise, when Lee entered the race, Taylor should have withdrawn. At least his dignity would be intact

It’s so sad he has to explain this to anyone. It’s starting to become scary now the ignorance we are dealing with this administration! It’s just a big ole bank robbery going right in front of us! @jamestalarico
