If you were at the No Kings events, please wear a mask for the next few days.

Covid is not over.

You can infect others before you feel symptomatic.

People are losing their healthcare. They’re losing their food assistance. They’re losing housing.

We need to protect each other.

Please remember that many disabled people won’t be at the No Kings rallies tomorrow.

A lot of the planned events are not accessible and/or disabled people are not safe or well enough to attend.

Anything you can do to increase accessibility and inclusion will help the resistance!

I feel like a disabled autistic 15 year old child going missing and ending up with ICE/HHS should be far bigger news.

Especially considering he’s been located yet NOT returned to his mother.

This is kidnapping.

Yet the combination of racism & ableism means it gets ignored.

Trump is now going after Jack Smith.

You know who seems safe from his retribution: Merrick Garland. Because he did JACK SHIT. Trump not being pissed at him is, low key, an indictment of his entire tenure.

Drunk ICE agent resists arrest.

Demands to know if one of the officers is Haitian.

Notice how the arresting officers don’t pepper spray him? They don’t tear gas him? They don’t hide their faces?

Awfully ironic this guy tries to assert rights he denies to people every day.

How press can survive interactions with police on the skirmish line The pen is mightier than the sword, but only if you know how to use it

#NoKings protests return Saturday.

Journalists covering police response will have new court-ordered protections in LA and Chicago.

Still, β€œyou’ll never win a philosophical argument on a skirmish line,” warns FPF’s @adamrose.bsky.social.

Here’s how you can protect your rights while reporting:

Live Reporting: Encampment Management to Abatement Policy, Special Public Safety Committee Meeting, 9/10/25 Here's the live reporting thread of the "Abatement" policy deliberation at the Special Public Safety Committee meeting on Wednesday, September 10. Though the deliberations were important and reported in the very long searchable thread, the video clips of homeless Oakland residents speaking on their own experience is a uniquely valuable

Making the original Encampment Abatement reporting thread public as its coming up again. Several videos here from life-long Oakland residents now homeless, and its worth taking a look at.

This should've been followed up instead of allowing OPD to keep misdirecting from poor recruitment. Yes, there were no academies for about 9 months. But when OPD finally had one, class size was 20 from a projection of 33. Anyway, OO broke this story oaklandside.org/2025...

It’s not lazy to rest.

It’s not wrong to prioritize your health and well being.

Capitalism and ableism have trained us to view slowing down as a failure.

We treat disabled people, children and the elderly as expendable.

We assign worth based on productivity.

It’s wrong. We all have value.

Every San Francisco liberal who said that Shellenberger and his paid disinfo influencers made some good points on homeless and drug policy helped get us to the threats our cities face today.

It was all so obviously heading in this direction but most Bay Area media didn’t report on it critically.

Palestinian Activists Urge Oakland to Stop Military Shipments to Israel | KQED A new report links hundreds of military shipments through Oakland’s airport to Israel’s F-35 fleet, raising concerns over U.S. supply chains and civilian infrastructure aiding the war in Gaza.

"We found at least 280 military cargo shipments that have left the Oakland airport (OAK) destined for Israel since January 2025. These shipments out of OAK happened multiple days per week, almost every single week this year." - PYM
