@DanKalb, you sat out the vote last week when you could have stood with @nikki4oakland and voted no. If you want my vote in Nov, reopen the budget discussion and cut OPD funding by 50%.

One thing I am always balancing as an editor is the importance of ensuring writers are as clear as possible without having to explain their culture. I don’t presume the default reader is white or cishet and I believe readers should take it on themselves to learn more.

The #Juneteenth march from the Port of #Oakland shutdown stretches for miiiiles down Adeline. No end to the march in sight. Thousands taking to the streets today.

Hello, world. Today we're officially launching @oaklandside, journalism for Oakland, with a beautiful new home for our work. We amplify community voices, share information resources, and investigate systems, not just symptoms. We're small but mighty. oaklandside.org

@LibbySchaaf I am a resident of Oakland and I am calling on you to #DefundOPD--cut OPD budget in half, invest in housing & arts & mental health programs instead, stop using the general fund for police misconduct lawsuits

Everyone: “Defund the police!” Joe Biden: I hear you. I will put more money in de fund for the police

Oakland moves closer to disbanding its school police force, partly in response to protests against police brutality and racism, and following similar decisions by school districts in Minneapolis and Portland. @ashleynmcb reports: berkeleyside.com/2020/06/12/oak…
