Oakland. CA. Beautiful day in Oakland! I watched thousands of runners participating in the Oakland Running Festival. Great event in a great city!
Oakland, CA. A very fine book that I would recommend which is a chronicle of Bernie Sanders's political trajectory; " Bernie for Burlington " by Dan Chiasson. Having served as a Sanders delegate to Democratic National Convention. I may be a bit biased, but superb book!
Oakland, CA. Book Recommendation; "There is No Place for US, Working and Homeless in America, by Brian Goldstone, published in 2024. No one should be unhoused, but this Book shed some serious light, on a aspect of Homelessness that is often ignored

Oakland, CA. 2026 election year, a VERY pivotal election, on national, state local level. I am 100% certain of one decision- I will support Mayor Barbara Lee for a full term, if she runs, and will phone bank and canvass diligently
Oakland, CA. I am not sure everything thing as far as the political landscape, but I am certain of one thing: I back Mayor Barbara Lee, 100% in 2026 for a full term. Oakland is on a positive trajectory, and progress must continue. In addition, I support revision of city charter for a "strong Mayor model"
Oakland, CA. Watching the CA Governor race closel. I'm a diehard Democrat, but one Democrat I am wary of is San Jose Mayor Mahan, accepting to much money from Tech Industry, so if elected, he certainly will NOT be for the working class. Moderate Democrats tend to be Republican-lite
Oakland, CA. I feel and visually see that Oakland is on a positive trajectory and our great city, is becoming greater. I will knock on as many doors as possible, phone bank as much as possible, to help reelect Mayor Barbara Lee, if she runs for a full term. Proven leadership
Oakland, CA. Mayor Barbara Lee stance re opposition to homeless encampment sweeps, shows a leader with compassion and sense. It is cruel to uproot folks, and then provide no available housing. The unhoused should not be political pawns.
I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Ask Mayor Barbara Lee to Stand Up for Human Rights in Oakland by Publicly Opposing the Encampment Abatement Policy . Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/as…
Volunteered @SF-Marin Food Bank yesterday morning, prior to going to work in SF. Myself and MANY dedicated volunteers worked in warehouse preparing meal boxes for seniors ( 562, in 2 hour shift). With soo many people in dire need, the tons of money spent on the Super Bowl is a sad irony.
Oakland, CA. Mayor Lee's Executive Order prohibiting ICE from using city property, I believe sends a very positive and much needed message. This is an example of leadership with a moral compass.
Oakland, CA. I am 100% on board with bringing a Costco to West Oakland. I see only benefits, much needed jobs, accessible food, increased tax revenue. Having a Costco is a step in the right direction economically, and can only enhance the community
