A lot of people don't respect women and won't listen to them.

Women been pushing movements. Men can either support them or burn them down.

New Web of Recall Linked Expenditure Committees Spend Hundreds of Thousands For Taylor, Taylor Linked D2 Candidates Five shadowy Independent Expenditure Committees have raised and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting Loren Taylor for Oakland Mayor and D2-linked candidates ahead of the April 15 Special Election, public records show. Empower Oakland [EO]; Revitalize the East Bay [REB]; Better Bay Area [BBA]; Responsible Leadership for Oakland [Responsible]

Being the sole reporter on the campaign finance watchtower is a lonely place to be this week. The serpentine financing for Taylor and his D2-aligned candidates took some effort to dig through, but a clearer picture emerges of monies new, and familiar. oakland-observer.gho...

Funny how a group of mostly Black women can move so radically for over a decade they shut down bridges WITH NO PAY for years & everyone celebrates them.

But once they get money everyone wants to drag them down & ignore violence towards them focuses on how they don't get as much money.

The “burn it down even when it comes to our own” approach is what Mark did before with DA Price. Mark doesn't really care and/or Mark doesn't understand how this negatively affects everyone.

I really hope both sides can come to an understanding and continue on. Have you heard about anything related to funding issues…I think that would be helpful. Folks I know who are working for other NP’s are getting hit hard.

Do you think there could possibly be another way besides publicly trashing the org and Cat? I don't see how this strategy goes along with the work.

Publicly trashing the org will contribute to the end of the org. Am I missing something? Is that the goal?

Identifying as Black isn't a pass to publicly trash APTP or Cat. Having a grievance is one thing but creating an IG page, endorsing uniformed comments by liking them and then going to the APTP page to spam their comments isn't just about having a grievance. They're trying to kill the org.

Its completely contradictory of these anonymous members to participate in publicly trashing the org. and also somehow claim that they want to continue working with the org that centers Black people and protecting Black people from pokice terror.

I didn't mean for it to come off as you're trashing the org. I'm referring to the many people in the comments when I go to the posts that you're reporting on.

A lot of people are playing some real dangerous games and in a few years when everything burns down like you wanted it to, and your ass is burning and you realize it isn't what you thought it would be. Whelp. I don't know what to tell you.

1st class flights, $300k salary isn't even close to being enough to publicly trash the org and/or give a platform to those who want to trash it. Especially when their mission is centered around making people like myself a tad bit safer when it comes to 5-0. The Cat and APTP slander must stop.

Editorial: Oakland NAACP should cut ties with Scott The Oakland branch of the NAACP should sever its relationship with Seneca Scott, a failed mayoral candidate whose forays into homophobia and transphobia have only escalated in recent weeks.

Retaliation is real ya'll

Jenkins may have crossed a red line legally, despite the employees being at will, especially in Harami's case.

I really should run for office, considering how scared some of the worst people are of me.

They lose their minds over my existence that they have decided every person on Twitter they dislike is me or posts the most heinous, disgusting, and crazy shit about me. Never about my politics or policies.
