2. More than double its stock of armored vehicles.
3. Get about $425K worth of new assault rifles.

Oakland Cops Somehow Want $2 Million for Assault Rifles, Drones and Armored Vehicles
The military ambitions of OPD can’t be stopped, not even by a budget crisis and lower crime rates.

Free Turtle Island, stop associating with the concept of the US. Stay you live on “Occupied ____ peoples land” or Occupied Turtle Island.

A lot of climate erosion is made possible by labeling land defenders as terrorists and deeply criminalizing activity to preserve the earth. Everyday ppl are robbed of their imagination. we have to stop being like “this is terrible” and start sabotaging.
“Analysis of nearly 500 bird species across North America has found that three-quarters are declining across their ranges, with two-thirds of the total shrinking significantly.” Terrible.
Collapsing bird numbers in North America prompt fears of ecological crisis – research
Study using citizen data finds three-quarters of nearly 500 species in decline, with steepest trend in areas where they once thrived

What are the steps to Unionize/Collectivize your work, living and creative lives? There is no mass action without a network of collectives working in tandem.

Death to the colonial era of punishing the African diaspora for being steadfast in freeing themselves. From Haiti, to Oakland, to New Orleans. Bring on the revolutionary Free Black Republic. The land wants this just as much as she wants to return to her first stewards.

Sinners is a 5/10 for me. So many amazing storytelling elements that were fumbled by script. It was too digitally enhanced/ CGI and likely AI use. It left me craving the story as a 2D animation or like a warm 1990s film quality. I dont need live action if it feels plastic. 😵💫

With Lent now over, and Christians able to resume their vices, churches throughout the country are now pivoting from a Target fast into a full-on boycott of the retailer.

Church leaders started the boycott for Lent — but now, they say, there’s no end in sight.

I also think how often adults kill their inner Teen in favor of being able to handle being exploited by capitalism. The mentally clearest era of understanding of the bullshit of the adult world should NEVER leave your spirit. Such a lost for you and Youth today.

Authoritarianism has its roots in dominate Parenting. People are chumps bc their parents instilled cowardliness in them. If you had a shitty Father that you did everything to please-you as an adult is likely to fall over and take it from the State today.

I’m coming up on a year of not finding supportive work since I graduated. I would already left the Bay if It wasn’t for my partnership.The fact yall keep promoting southern Queers to move here is misinformed. I would seriously move back tomorrow but cannot handle being heartbroken either.
