A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

The Oaklandside hosted a mayoral candidates forum last night at Castlemont High. In attendance were: Suz Robinson, Barbara Lee, Mindy Pechenuk, Eric Simpson, Elizabeth Swaney, Loren Taylor, Renia Webb. You can watch the whole thing here: oaklandside.org/2025/02/27/o...

@joegarofoli.bsky.social chides @oaklandside.bsky.social for including several Oakland mayor candidates in our forum last night, not just the two "serious" ones. But then how would we have heard those "smart ideas" from Suz Robinson, a little-known candidate whose profile has risen since our event?

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker
