Police Spending and Civilian Union Contract Fight Cast Shadow on Lee’s "State of the City" Address

Intersecting issues cast a long shadow over Mayor Lee’s second state of the union address at Tuesday’s Council meeting. While Lee gave an upbeat address that listed Oakland’s accomplishments and...

Great questions from Oaklandside. And OS also gave Oakland Observer the credit for breaking this story. It's big, but under-reported that the City never signed the contract oaklandside.org/2026/09/22/o…

Flock’s Oakland cameras are tracking millions of trips. Are safeguards enforceable?

Nearly a year after approving the $2.25 million surveillance tech, OPD hasn’t signed a contract, raising questions about how the city can enforce data protections.

Here's how quickly President Jenkins moved to ensure no discussion about OPOA contract after public comment. This was after Budget Advisory Committee Chair & bargaining team reps from IFPTE noted concerns with the contract. Indefensible and disrespectful running of a public mtg
Jaime Omar Yassin@hyphy_republicSep 16
Fife was one of few CMs with the courage to comment on OPOA contract. Unger, Jenkins, Houston & Ramachandran said nothing. Visible on Houston, because Jenkins mistakenly thought he wanted to speak, and usually loquatious Houston had to say on the record that he had no comments

Labour doesn't want to test for Covid or ask healthcare workers to wear FFP3 masks. That would mean admitting that Covid is Airborne and that Long Covid is a mass dissbling event. – at Rumwell, England
Covid Solidarity@CovidSolidarit1Sep 2
This is UK Government guidance. gov.uk/government/publicatio…? "Children and young people should not be tested for COVID-19 unless instructed to by a health care professional." Why is no one challenging them on any of this? It's dangerously unscientific. Teachers' unions? @NASUWT?

Today people will catch covid not knowing that in three or six or nine month's time they will develop heart disease or diabetes or organ dysfunction as a result. Public Health has failed us. Long Covid reveals itself in many ways, but all of them start with Covid.

I genuinely don’t understand how we are supposed to casually process that a glacier literally collapsed in Nepal, erasing 19 bridges and killing over 600 people, because the planet is too hot. And instead of stopping it, billionaires are building more data centres. It is completely psychotic.

covid -> diminished ability to encode spatial positions.
Mike Hoerger, PhD MSCR MBA
@michael_hoergerAug 30
Spicy headlines emphasize the impact of SARS-CoV-2 reinfections on general cognitive ability or "IQ," but if you examine the primary studies, some of the largest effects are on the encoding of spatial positions. That means more accidents and close calls.

This is such an important statement from @NYMag on the accurate use of genocide to describe Israel’s actions. It also shows that every media outlet refusing to adopt this language is CHOOSING to engage in genocide denial.

Begging people to stop posting their children on social media. AI learns off images of your kids. If CSAM is going to be legal under the first amendment, we have a duty to protect kids as much as possible. Don’t post online. Don’t upload to AI. Stop using any genAI now.

A federal appeals court judge ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual’s right to privately possess images or videos of child sexual abuse created using AI — if the material does not depict a real person and remains in the home. wapo.st/4hXljRs

Federal judge warns law is being left behind by AI child sex abuse images

In his ruling, which applies to only certain images, a federal judge asked the Supreme Court to revisit legal precedents that predated advances in AI.

PMC COVlD Update, Week of Aug 29, 2026 ▪️Outbreaks in 29 states/territories (see Alt) ▪️A projected 13th wave is under way ▪️1 in 95 Americans estimated actively infectious ▪️Peak anticipated around Labor Day THREAD 🧵(1/4)
The US has at least 29 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks. These include much of Hawai’i, Alaska, Washington, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Guam, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maine. There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic of 29 only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. All of the data in Oregon are at least a week old, and while we do not count the state among the 29, we estimate there are likely outbreaks there as well, given proximity to WA, CA, and NV. Levels in some Texas counties are so high – on par with the national peak of BA.1 Omicron – that it drives up estimates for counties in neighboring states that lack CDC wastewater monitoring systems.

Despite having once been extremely focused on Oakland's high number of homicides, the fact that Oakland is likely to have its 3rd consecutive lowest homicides in over 1/2 a century means nothing to loacl media. They've found new crime panics to focus on now that their fave is out

Importance of this story given national rejection of Flock can't be exaggerated. Oakland is under no obligation to keep using Flock, and needn't wait to move on to another vendor or end its surveillance project. OTOH, it means City has misled public about current Flock capacities

All of the abuse of the poor and non-white that "woke 1" fought back are visibly returning in the Bay Area, as the rich have backed their surrogates with unlimited resources to push policies that only help the super rich, and put a target on literally everyone else.

It took OPD months to reply to my June inquiry about Flock contract, but have now cordially responded. OPD/City hasn't executed a Flock contract, despite getting authorization to execute a contract for ALPR, PTZ cams & a city-wide cam platform nearly a year ago, last December.

Why is there a push to ‘cancel’ one of the wealthiest Bay Area cities?

ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event. These are concentration camps. They’re a breeding ground for disease which will invariably lead to preventable suffering, disability and death. They’re violating basic human rights on a daily basis and must be shut down.

Leaked video from men's ICE detention center—detainees are coughing up blood. "People have tuberculosis—I witness it working in the kitchen," he says. "They lock them in punishment cell... instead of medical center." "Conjunctivitis is spreading cause 76 people are in 1 cell." "There is a flu going around that never goes away because we are overcrowded." Video footage comes from inside the River Center ICE Detention Center in Ferriday, Louisiana. "This video is intended to reach health authorities and the media, so that the reality of what we are all experiencing here is known." Adonys doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
