Yeah this is definitely important to keep in mind. While the events of Jan 6 may have been too much for her, she was all-aboard all the way up until then. I’ll give her kudos for getting to the correct place eventually, but she does seem to be more of the prototypical “I was against it until it happened to me”…

Definitely a fascist wink. Let’s not forget Trump scheduling his first 2020 rally on Juneteenth. Or kicking off his 2024 campaign in Waco.

OPD was, until recently, under federal jurisdiction because they were absolutely terrorizing the people of Oakland, police brutality was out of control, literally the federal government had to step in and take control, and OPD has been cycling through police chiefs for years now trying to get someone who can get the…

IMO, as much as police hate accountability and reform, it’s also one of the biggest killers of recruitment, because people who would want to be police officers don’t want to have anything to do with departments that are violent and corrupt.

This is how police departments have been working across the bay area, probably across the state and other states as well. Let the department be understaffed, make a TON in overtime, and then if anyone complains about how they’re not working, point out that they’re understaffed as the excuse as to why they’re not…

The police are extremely understaffed, and they like it that way. They make tons in overtime, and if people complain that they aren’t working, they point to being understaffed, even though they’re the ones not hiring.

Saying the police are refusing to catch criminals because they’re mad that folks don’t want the police to kill people probably isn’t the move, chief.

“Da has essentially said she’s not prosecuting” People keep saying this, and it remains untrue. All the people keep saying she wasn’t going to charge are getting charged. They’re getting hit with enhancements. Those guys that had the highway shooting that killed Jasper Wu got hit with murder charges and gun…

OPD’s budget is up 18% since 2019, SJPD’s budget is up 18%, and SFPD’s budget is up 4.4%, but yeah, “defund the police DURRRR” and all

Considering the OPD was under federal oversight because the police were terrorizing the people who lived there, now cops just don’t do anything at all, and sit in an under-staffed department collecting massive amounts of overtime.

I was wondering what had happened there. Racists ruin everything.

Just like how pharmaceutical companies are happy to sell medicine in other countries at the prices the government negotiates, but will charge Americans up the wazoo for the same drugs. Companies will always pull this crap if the government lets them.

Cops don’t want to take on a guy like that, he’s scary! What if they got hurt? It’s just easier to pull over some people for speeding at night and threatening them.

Look buddy, either the cops shoot you or someone else shoots you but we don’t have all day, pick a side

There’s no way he doesn’t know that, I’m sure. My guess is he’s trying to use the power of the state to convince the hospital to fire her so he can gloat to his base.

It’s ALL performative bullshit. Cue Lauren Boebert dating a guy who owns a bar that holds drag shows. Trump himself said at a rally, “I bring up lower taxes, everybody gets quiet. I yell about trans people, and you cheers. You didn’t know they existed four years ago!”

Yeah these things are awful. And they’re going to put so many people out of work. While we’re in a homeless crisis. Yeah let’s just put tons of drivers out of work, great idea CPUC.

Pastor Newman said, “I mistakenly forgot he was to be acknowledged, would not speak. So the fluke was I called him to go out and speak. It was not some kind of grandiose scheme. That was actually a mistake I made by misreading the program.”

My girlfriend used to work with him when she was a flight attendant, she’s been geeking out all week over him going viral. So happy to see it.

Definitely needs Mariner. Not only is she great in animation, but Newsome was great on Strange New Worlds, too
