Bronny James checked in and the Lakers blew a 15-point lead in 2 minutes 😭
The starters had to check back in
Is it me or are the SEIU-UHW’s fingerprints all over these ballots and propositions? Their credibility should be questioned.
Like I said, don’t let people guilt trip you into believing them. If you love Oakland, you don’t blindly follow the blind. You do your own research, ask all the questions and figure out your own answers through facts, and not fear.
Billionaire-backed group pays local influencer to call out... billionaire influence?
📰 Poet/activist/influencer Maddie Clifford posted a video decrying "billionaire" influence in Oakland school board elections.
📰 The post's caption discloses that "the author was paid by Bay Rising Action committee sponsored by Center for Empowered Politics."
📰 The Center for Empowered Politics received millions of dollars in contributions from billionaire George Soros' Open Society.
📰 In the video, Clifford says "not all skin folk is kin folk," implying that Black people who disagree with her aren't really Black.
📰 Clifford then says people should trust a voter guide produced by the Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC), which also received funding from billionaire Soros' foundation.

If Measure EE was bundled with a change to our current Ranked Choice Voting, I would have reconsidered my no vote. But the bottleneck comes down to having a competent and efficient city administrator, which the mayor already has the power to appoint.
Could the Sheng Thao corruption trial doom Oakland's Measure EE?

To better understand Bob Uecker’s significance to Brewers baseball, he called both Hank Aaron’s last MLB home run and Jackson Churio’s first.

NBA players are asked which skill they would take from another player
More than half of the players said Steph’s shooting. 🔥
(via @NBA)
Let’s never forget that somehow we, common folk, knew more about Sheng Thao than these “journalists” did.
KQED and Oaklandside back at it again with some major defense of Sheng Thao. They seem to play up her “wins” and omit many reasons why people actually didn’t like her. I need only listen to the first five minutes to get it. Done with you @KQED

California's failure to build high-speed rail is maybe the most egregious example of America's inability to deliver modern infrastructure.
Perhaps it could learn from another Western country with one of the world's largest and cheapest high-speed train networks: Spain.
