Pretty easy to argue the strike benefited educators with United Teachers of Richmond.

District had proposed a 0% raise. State moderator proposed 6%. They finally settled on 8% after the strike. 100% fully paid family health benefits starting in 2027 as well!

Not a good take from Wiener. He avoids talking about the project at all and then blames Peskin who voted on the rezoning in 2017. Mind this wasn’t in Peskin’s district at the time but Farrell’s.

Voters won’t buy this given the developers used Wiener’s laws to fast track things.

Wiener depends on the right NIMBYs in the marina for support just like progs like Chan depend on the left NIMBYs but you only really hear about the latter. I think this situation is going to change that narrative especially after Engardio was recalled by similar people.

Being able to bike to public transit is such a privilege but it should simply be a norm for most people. Imagine how much less traffic the people who need to drive would experience if more folks could afford to live car free

I went with a train themed Christmas this year. Even decked out the little fake Christmas tree I’ve had ever since I worked at Starbucks in college (I was supposed to throw it away after the holidays).

And yes, I love the holiday season idc

Social housing is not a pipe dream, it’s the only solution to this housing crisis unless we want to use public funds to heavily subsidize current construction.

Good morning! Oakland is 100% on the HRC LGBTQ scorecard this year thanks to new policies passed (humblebrag) and the opening of the Town Youth Club.

We did get docked one point since the city no longer has an LGBTQ Liaison in the Mayor’s office, but overall we exceeded our work and got 100%!

New polling just dropped and when voters hear my message, I’m tied for first among Dem candidates.

I’m the only candidate putting everyday Californians first. That’s why I support a billionaire’s tax to:

🏘️ Build more housing
📚 Strengthen public schools
❤️‍🩹 Fund single-payer health care

California is still in a major housing crisis, with rents still shooting up especially in SF where Wiener is State Senator.

That aside, Wiener will never win the housing debate when he has done nothing but defend the decimation of Gaza from scrutiny. What about their housing? There’s none left.

Caltrans is spending $318M to remove toll gates, meanwhile BART was forced to spend $90M to add slow fare gates

I look forward to a day when MTC prioritizes transit rider experience over payment collection like they do for drivers

Richmond-San Rafael Bridge toll booths slated for removal
The project is the first in a $318 million program to transition all seven state-owned bridges in the Bay Area to open-road tolling.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

The FBI’s Oakland corruption case relies heavily on the word of one man with a "checkered past."

When we closely examined Mario Juarez's long history of legal disputes and criminal investigations into his businesses, patterns started to emerge.

For decades, Juarez has been at the center of bitter legal disputes — and the subject of criminal investigations — all while maintaining high-level political connections.

Idk why people think I would support someone for Congress who has been on the wrong side of the Israel-Palestine issue for decades and has actively worked to silence anti-genocide protestors on behalf of a country committing genocide.
