Look at these scenes. Strangers hugging each other. The joy sports bring to a group of people is not measurable but its real and worth fighting for. The people of Oakland came together to ensure baseball stays in the Town. And now the future is bright: We're aiming to deliver a Championship winning season for the best sports fans in the world. Thank you to each and every one of you for being on this journey with us.

Dondrei Hubbard, our star outfielder, lost his mom recently in a tragic and senseless killing in her own home in Texas.
We're asking Ballers fans and the wider Oakland community to chip in to help the family with funeral expenses.

🧵1/4 We believe that the social contract between sports teams and fanbases is broken, and that it’s fans who create the value of a sports team.
Today we’re launching a community investment campaign that doubles down on that belief by giving fans a real seat at the table.

- are 25% of construction workers
- are 20% of entrepreneurs

Wow — @katzonearth busts Senator Katie Britt on the sex trafficking anecdote she used in her rebuttal, revealing (courtesy of @MarshaBlackburn’s site) it happened to the woman she referred to 20 years ago, in Mexico
Needless to say, Joe Biden was not president of Mexico in 2004

Holy moly. This is worth every minute.
Jonathan Katz exposes Katie Britt as a lying sack of shit. 👀

There is no crime surge caused by migrants. It's 100% made up. A right wing invention.
Violent crime is WAY DOWN. The drop in urban murders this year was the largest in the nation's history.
And data shows that migrants commit crimes at rate LOWER than those born here.
The county is part of an emerging national rethink of immigration policies amid the border surge and a rash of crimes attributed to illegal immigrants. washingtontimes.com/news/202…

This is a great example of why "polling" people about factual questions is stupid af. Undocumented/illegal immigrants commit crimes at far lower rates than US citizens. Maybe we should poll the public about what color the sky is or what elements make up water. Sheesh.
NATIONAL POLL: 32% say illegal immigrants are more likely than other Americans to commit a violent crime, up from 21% in 2019 and 17% in 2015.
MORE LIKELY by PARTY
REP – 65% (29% in 2015)
IND – 26% (15%)
DEM – 12% (10%)

Rhetoric calling immigrants and refugees arriving at the southern border an "invasion" is dangerous, inaccurate, un-Christian, and un-American: 🧵 (1/5)
Brendan Colthurst retweeted
What’s missing in today’s immigration debate is this. Hardly anybody in power is pushing back on GOP fear mongering about immigrants by making the case for how they benefit our country. Instead, most Democrats are letting the GOP win the narrative. We’re all worse off for it.
