A lot of people don't respect women and won't listen to them.

Women been pushing movements. Men can either support them or burn them down.

Funny how a group of mostly Black women can move so radically for over a decade they shut down bridges WITH NO PAY for years & everyone celebrates them.

But once they get money everyone wants to drag them down & ignore violence towards them focuses on how they don't get as much money.
If they’re union busting and their head is taking home $300k and taking first class flights and hiring a union busting firm, they’re kneecapping themselves. They’ve had ample opportunities to address this and they haven’t. Saying I’m helping Seneca is insulting and offensive.

A lot of people are playing some real dangerous games and in a few years when everything burns down like you wanted it to, and your ass is burning and you realize it isn't what you thought it would be. Whelp. I don't know what to tell you.

Jenkins may have crossed a red line legally, despite the employees being at will, especially in Harami's case.
It is incredible toxic for Oakland politics to allow the violent bullies to win

Seneca Scott has been threatening to *murder* these staffers, and instead of defending them from disingenuous attacks Jenkins fired the victims

Completely unacceptable

I really should run for office, considering how scared some of the worst people are of me.

They lose their minds over my existence that they have decided every person on Twitter they dislike is me or posts the most heinous, disgusting, and crazy shit about me. Never about my politics or policies.
