This is when I lost trust in my assembly member @MiaBonta . What really disgusts me is her cowardly refusal to address that vote. Unfortunately voters sent her back to Sacramento this election since voters are barely aware what happens in Sacramento.

CAIR-CA has released a new report exposing Assembly Bill 715 as a pro-Israel public education censorship law that threatens free speech in California public schools. The legislation was advanced through backroom negotiations by outside lobbying groups to silence constitutionally protected criticism of Israeli policy, with specific officials named for suppressing opposition.
Hear from CAIR-CA Legislative and Government Affairs Director Oussama Mokeddem about the new report.

Because of Scott Wiener’s work, it would be illegal for any teacher in California to discuss this with their students.

Lots of it here. He also was a regular commenter and enabler of Oakland Report, often as it published falsehoods about Oakland, look at his substack for the evidence of that. It's mindboggling he thought that was compatible with being Oakdot director oakland-observer.ghost.io/as…

Floored at questions about why Rowan is out. The level of bad publicity he brought to Oakland is unheard of for a director. In ten years of covering city hall, the only other person I saw anywhere near that level was the form Finance Director, who had the foresight for stealth
This is one of the most damning reasons why Jeffries shouldn't be speaker. He didn't name names but this was a proxy attack on El-Sayed via the disingenuous Zionist pile-on on Hasan Piker. Attacking his party's candidate in service to Zionists.
The malicious claim that American Jews are inviting violence against themselves is dangerous and antisemitic.
There is zero justification for threats against the safety of our Jewish brothers and sisters at a moment of rising hate.
We will fight the cancer of antisemitism with the fierce urgency of now.

Will have more on this soon, but I can tell you up front, OPOA will almost certainly get raises above what the Council voted thanks to "me too" from fire and seiu. It's hard to believe this was considered good budgeting or negotiating, with ballooning costs baked in.

I've identified several of my/other articles taken down (on rape, Project 2025's porn ban, right-wing pedophilia conspiracy theories, anything w/ 'porn' in headline, etc)— when I asked the owner about this, he sent me rude/useless emails and said I "owe Jezebel an apology"

The latest twist in the Phong Tran case: The OPD homicide detective charged with bribery and perjury has accused the former DA of racial discrimination, alleges anti-Asian bias may be why he is being prosecuted.

15 years ago, October 25 2011, police raided Occupy Oakland's two-week-old encampments at Oscar Grant Plaza and Snow Park, leading to a day of protests and violent clashes between themselves and occupiers, who declared a "general strike" planed for November 2 in response

The mayor and council gave all the money to the Oakland police union. The underfunded city workers appear unimpressed.
