Direct Fraud by Steven Donziger in Chevron Ecuador case led to downfall, disgrace and disbarment from the practice of law. @SDonziger attempted the largest “environmental” con in history, but was foiled by his own evidence.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.

On this Memorial Day, be thankful for those who have served and sacrificed.

@samsinger @jonathanfleming @BarbaraLee_CA What’s to be concerned about. A bit of praise maybe for the dedication of law enforcement

Where's Carroll Fife's concern? We need to hear those, too.

The last time this happened it was a disaster for the Democrats. In return for her support, she insisted on a network of key appointments. One was Gensler, who alienated Silicon Valley to such an extent that many founders switched to supporting the Republicans.

This happened in Oakland’s special election as well. Soggies cheat.

As on past Memorial Days, we think it’s important to remind readers about #Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s ‘stolen valor.’ Historian Chris Owen looks at Hubbard’s claims about being injured in war versus the actual record. tonyortega.substack.com/p/memorial-day…

Loophole taxes are a direct burden on struggling Oakland families. For a leadership that claims to care so deeply about working-class residents, forcing through backdoor tax hikes proves otherwise. Stop playing us for fools. The facts speak for themselves. #Oakland

Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee today was “deeply concerned” by SFPD arresting a suspect in Oakland wanted for 2 armed robberies. Was she “deeply concerned” earlier when a man was stabbed to death Saturday in Oakland ? The answer is No. @BarbaraLee_CA: too old, too tired, too out of touch. eastbaytimes.com/2026/05/24/oak…

I don’t understand this mindset. I’m third generation Bay Area. Every day, I wake up and think the Bay Area is so great. How can we build more houses here? How can families have more kids? How can more people move here from all over America and the world to build more cool, world-changing shit?

Guess who fixed the loophole?

Sally Field memorized the First Amendment as a child. The Oscar winner says she now understands "it like never before," stressing that "this fragile thing called democracy needs to be protected."

Exactly right.

My earlier post discussed all of the reasons I believed Empower Oakland's endorsement of the candidate for Judicial Seat 19 was off the mark, because candidate Patricia Miles, someone I've known and worked with for almost 40 years, is clearly the most qualified in that race. I strongly urge you to vote for her. Now I want to tell you why Attorney Michael P. Johnson deserves your vote in the other judicial race on the ballot, the contest for Seat 13. Michael Johnson has practiced law in Oakland for over 30 years and has served as a Temporary Judge in Alameda County Superior Court for seven years, presiding over numerous civil and criminal matters. His work on the bench has been lauded as “among the best in the county.” His background spans civil rights, corporate law, privacy, and personal injury. In all the time I have known and worked with him over these past 30 years, he has shown himself to be thoughtful, composed, thorough, brilliant, and judicially temperamental. His opponent in the race for Seat 13 is a passionate trial attorney who could use more seasoning in developing the kind of judicial temperament the Alameda County Superior Court needs. For this race, I agree with Empower Oakland's endorsement, because "for this seat, Mr. Johnson’s depth and breadth of actual courtroom experience is the right fit."

Alameda County Administrative Law Judge. Vote for her June 2nd. She’s awesome. Pass it On.

Oakland politicians have proven they can't be trusted. Enough is Enough! No on Measure E! Vote by June 2. Paid for by Neighbors for an Affordable Oakland, Sponsored by REALTORS - No on Measure E (#1490634).

A Bay Area mom was recently the victim of a frightening crime. She answered the phone and heard someone she thought was her daughter crying on the line. She jumped into action to help her, only to find out that the voice she heard wasn’t her daughter’s at all, but scammers using AI to steal thousands from the Bay Area mom. spr.ly/6019B8Od1b
