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.

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.

Talarico: I opened up social media and learned that I apparently had dropped out of the race, had flown to a mental hospital in Ohio, that I had died. This is crazy. Conspiracy theories don't put food on the table. They don't put gas in the tank. They don't actually improve our communities or improve our country. And so I'm going to stay focused on the very real problems that are facing Texans.

Two MAGA influencers claimed to have proof that James Talarico had a mental breakdown. Elon Musk pushed it. Within hours, the story fell apart.
@willsommer and @EggerDC got the full recording that the viral clip was cut from.

The elephant in the classroom: the Oakland school board’s deep ties to the Oakland teachers union.
— Oakland Education Association has spent over $239,000 to elect a school board majority friendly to the union’s financial interests. Those board members have returned the favor.

Oaklandside again checked one candidate's claims but not the other's — and the same side came out ahead.
It gave Nate Adams the benefit of evidence, but not council member Charlene Wang. Its previous school board profile gave it to Jennifer Brouhard. The DSA and teachers union back Adams and Brouhard.
