I am proud to endorse my friend and mentor, Barbara Lee, for Oakland Mayor! She has been our champion in Congress for nearly 30 years, delivering real results on public safety, on housing, and for families. Please join me in becoming a Day One donor to her campaign:

This woman Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett Jasmine Crockett is FIRE 🔥

Loren again asked about Seneca Scott at LGBQT... "up to election night you were seen hugging him...why have you not apologized..." I do not have a relationship with Seneca..."

"...Scott is volatile, he is toxic, he is bringing a lot of vitriol into our public discourse...I am not supportive of that...I will continue to make that denunciation of his behavior...I apologize if there is a belief that in any way I was supportive..."

They don't just disagree, Taylor is wrong. To get OPD to 800 over 3 years beginning in May, Oakland would have to add about 45 officers/year. With attrition of about 48-60 officers per year, each academy would have to graduate 35 officers, 10 to 15 more than the last 6 academies

Donald Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday was "a declaration of war against the American people, including Trump voters, in favor of the super-rich and the giant corporations," says Ralph Nader.

Taylor's paid + unpaid flunkies keep dishonestly claiming Lee has never done anything for Oakland, a charged trope given his supporters are mostly white centrist/MAGA. Yet, I find Lee's name on one good thing after another in my community. The Greenway is a game changer for ESO

Looks like Taylor was still on the endorsement committee of Empower Oakland just days before the organization, which pretends to be independent of him, endorsed him for Mayor. Why is this even tolerated by news orgs?

Wild that [checks notes] news organization KTVU can't report that real local Black orgs called out the station and the hosts of its debate tonight, Empower Oakland and "Black Action Alliance" for being astroturt--- the latter being six weeks old and having no visible members.

"We're not a drain on Sacramento - we pay taxes! Come on! Oakland needs a Mayor who's going to demand what we're due." - Barbara Lee speaks for me

When I quoted Taylor's verbatim denunciation of Scott from his public comments at a local LGBQT, Taylor attacked me from his personal twitter account, falsely accusing me of doxing him. Another example of local media leaving an indie to suffer retaliation for reporting the truth.

Great weekend as I hosted Barbara Lee to a small gathering of #EastOakland neighbors and friends! And got to show her my nerdy side.. 🤣 Excited to see her ad on tv! Thursday, 3/20 7:00 pm is another opportunity to see her Early voters mail your ballot by April 15th. 🙂

A group supporting Loren Taylor's campaign for Oakland mayor put out an ad with a fake Oaklandside story in it. Meanwhile, city unions tried linking Taylor to recalled/indicted Mayor Sheng Thao. But the same unions bankrolled Thao's 22' campaign. oaklandside.org/2025/03/21/mis…

Where did most of the support come from?

Loren Taylor ran one of the dirtiest, most dishonest campaigns Oakland has seen—lying to voters, misleading our communities, and laundering money in plain sight. And still, the media stayed silent. This is what power protects. This is why we organize. #OaklandDeservesBetter

The Last Black Building Inspector in San Francisco: Onaje Boone says he called the code fairly and flunked builders who did shoddy work. But he was abruptly let go, only weeks before he'd have become a fully vested city employee. From @esksf missionlocal.org/2025/05/black-…
