NEW EPISODE: We discuss all the headlines that happened this past week, from the Dem wins to Mayor Daniel Lurie appointing a political novice to be a San Francisco supervisor. Tune in! @dscotmiller.bsky.social youtu.be/vKc20rQE40g?...

Oakland City Council member Ken Houston is more focused on blaming homeless encampments for trash and not the real culprits, landlords. #oakland #homelessness #sweeps

So FYI, ICE is definitely in Oakland RIGHT NOW, clashing with protesters. Whatever deal Lurie made with Trump does not include Oakland, which unlike SF is majority nonwhite. And of course has a Black female mayor. They're still coming for Oakland right now - which was surely the plan all along.

Entrance to Coast Guard Island in Alameda/Oakland 25.10.23.09.14

Protesters gathered on the road leading from Oakland to Coast Guard Island, opposing the deployment of CBP and other federal agents sent to crack down immigration enforcement in the Bay Area. 🎥: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades and Minh Connors

In Oakland, California, an ICE GOON shot a local clergyman point-blank.

approximately seven million people were out in the streets protesting last week. these people need to grow a spine. www.ft.com/content/1377...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

NEW EPISODE: @dscotmiller.bsky.social and I dive into the recent headlines, including Trump calling off the National Guard’s invasion of San Francisco, the protests in Alameda and right wing creep in Oakland. youtu.be/_0t5HkcqBJE?...

Boston. Wow.

NEW EPISODE: We talk to the techies’ worst nightmare… DEAN PRESTON! Listen to him drop knowledge like bombs, especially when it comes to housing. SF wouldn’t have a housing issue if they listened to Dean. @dscotmiller.bsky.social @deanpreston.bsky.social youtu.be/G0EtPraAjWU

📣The Freedom Frogs are multiplying‼️ This is the way Portland 🫡❤️🐸 Video @oregonian.com

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law. They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

NEW EPISODE: We talk to Cat Brooks of the @aptpaction.bsky.social about all they’re protesting in Oakland, from military weapons for police to millions for surveillance tech. Of course Cat brings the best insight – tune in! @dscotmiller.bsky.social youtu.be/yQ195MW-7YU?...

NEW EPISODE: @dscotmiller.bsky.social and I go over recent headlines, including ICE invading Oakland courthouses and UC Berkeley turning its own professors over to the Feds. Disturbing stuff but a good conversation. youtu.be/iMpdBvKfV6g

Starting in the 1960s, people have fought against the Manhattanization of San Francisco. Our editor Tim Redmond has been reporting on that struggle for decades. Listen to his conversation with Kevin Jones and @dscotmiller.bsky.social on @doomloopdispatch.bsky.social

Do they really expect us to believe someone's using a stripper clip and then dropped their clip and wrote ANTI-ICE on it with a fuckin bic

And I can't find any reputable news outlet reporting the image of ammunition below. It's ONLY being circulated on social media, even though ICE confirmed that all three victims were detainees. The Russian & Chinese troll farms are working overtime.

This is supposedly a stripper clip with the rounds found at the scene of the shooting in Dallas today. It’s like someone is intentionally trying to see what level of dumb shit the American people will accept as truth.

Nowhere in DHS Cosplayer Noem’s statement would you know that ALL of the victims of today’s shooting were actually detainees. Not a single ICE officer was injured. Do we know the motive? No. Has that stopped Noem from leaping to conclusions & weaponizing the attack against political enemies? No.

It’s bad enough that these assholes lie to us, but the absolute transparency and stupidness of their lies takes it to another level. But that’s the point. These people are stupid. They’re clowns. But the obviousness of their lies is supposed to grind us down.

NEW EPISODE: We speak to Tim Redmond of 48 Hills and the Bay Guardian. We get deep into how real estate interests have been trying to take over San Francisco and how damaging their mission has been. Good stuff! @dscotmiller.bsky.social @48hills.bsky.social youtu.be/yHMGb-dLfOU

NEW EPISODE: Scot and I talk with queen progressive strategist Jen Snyder! Her piece in @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social was so good we had to have her on! @dscotmiller.bsky.social youtu.be/H_EabfCAt9s

NEW EPISODE: Scot and i discuss the failure of Prop 36, scumbag Dems and the expansion of the surveillance state. Seriously, who is fighting for us? @dscotmiller.bsky.social youtu.be/R2fzeM3_Bu0

Have you seen that recent report about the 20 most dangerous cities in the U.S.? Would you be surprised to know it’s absolute BS? Because it is and I can tell you why. #police #dangerouscities #surveys thanks to @dscotmiller.bsky.social for research

“It seems this is a way to detain people, hold them in custody, instill fear and discourage people from exercising their first amendment rights” Intimidation is always the goal. But also, staying silent will NOT save you. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We are living in an age of bullies. Those with power are less constrained today than they have ever been in my lifetime. The question is: how do we lead moral lives in this era? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/28/bullies-moral-lives-robert-reich

NEW EPISODE: The San Francisco BOS passed Mayor Daniel Lurie’s budget last week. The budget cuts the social safety net and increases funds law enforcement. Seems like SF is now GOP-controlled, but was it ever progressive? @dscotmiller.bsky.social youtu.be/NMRE_HuL-yw

NEW EPISODE: We got Tom Ammiano! The SF political legend came on to talk about Matt Dorsey threatening his landmark domestic partner benefits and other rightwing attacks on the progress he helped make. @dscotmiller.bsky.social youtu.be/uKVTZwK-ssA?...

BOSTON (AP) - Judge blocks Trump administration's efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and orders that it keep getting Medicaid funds.

Only in America could a white man with a current net worth of $2 billion see himself as part of a victimized group. 🤦‍♂️

The tech and venture capital world is becoming increasingly full of people who believe in full-fledged eugenics ideology, and it is considered gauche to mention this out loud.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were a response to masked violent men who terrorized Black communities, violating their civil rights.The deployment of violent masked ICE ofcrs are tapping into this unique form of terror. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Cry me a river. Maybe they’re burned out from terrorizing families & traumatizing kids. From dragging moms out of courtrooms. Or chasing day laborers through parking lots like it’s a game. If that’s what’s breaking them, maybe they should ask themselves who they’re really serving.

Any time any racist VC is scared, any time any tech bro who says hateful shit gets fired, any time an untalented hack gets denied a job in Silicon Valley and then gets in his feelings about it and wants to blame brown people ... it was me. That's when I was there. I pulled the strings. Personally.

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued. 66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job. Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone. Pay Black women. Period.
