Oakland Divest and supporters couldn't be faulted for thinking the Rules cancellation due to lack of quorum has something to do with their ethical investment policy proposal. I have no idea what's going on here, this will be the third cancellation in a row tho

They must be suppressed, full stop. They have broken the social contract and must be hounded from our midst. Look up Sir Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance if you have any qualms, reassure yourself, then go out and fight them.
Two posts from @AnarchoNinaWrites@jorts.horse:

The first post: 

You don't convince nazis. You make them afraid to do nazism. It's that simple. You are not special, you are not smarter than 100 years of antifascists of various types, before you.
You don't "fix" nazis; you make them hide.

The second post: 

I do not care about providing a way back for the nazis. I do not care that some of them, happen to be labor class and extremely fucking stupid. I do not care what happens to nazis beyond forcing them back into their basements and making them absolutely fucking TERRIFIED to spread their eliminationist beliefs in public. I am not looking to "fix" nazis; I am here to fight them.
Finally, I am begging you to consider a politics beyond "convincing cracker reactionaries we've been right all along."

The topic of Elouise with short hair came up in my server after yesterday's post so I did a quick doodle of her in her college days. She smiled more back then.

whenever we get close to seeing a systemic problem with policing, media rushes to frame it as a training problem. however, police culture is at the core of its mistreatment of victims and rape cases. policing is a tool of white supremacy AND *male* supremacy

Unheard of for a community org to pass the hi bar to directly submit legislation to the Rules Committee for scheduling, but Oakland Divest has done it! Their divestment proposal includes weapons, prison-industrial, companies supporting Israeli apartheid/violence. Tune in tomorrow

OO had a great chat with Oakland Review of Books about the new OPOA contract, and its potential negative impacts on City of Oakland services and civilian retention--as the city's non-sworn unions consider strikes after months of rebuffs.

What’s with OPD's new contract?

Despite the fact that Jenkins has no opponents, he's raised over 80K. Some of those donors coming in mid-year know that and still donated for some reason. Among them, 4 police associations that donated within 2 weeks of each other, one of them is OPOA, the rest non-Oakland.

if anything, the broadview six case underscores longstanding concerns about injustices in the legal system. it makes you wonder what’s happening in cases without the same level of public attention/scrutiny. and why judges/the media are so willing to trust prosecutors and police regardless.
