The Oakland Observer must cut vacation short for this rushed legislation to be heard at hours the public is usually unable to attend meetings for some reason. oakland-observer.ghost.io/oakland-observ…
Mayor Lee launched the Office of Homelessness Solutions today, a new agency within City Administrator's Office, meant to leverage & direct hundreds of millions of homelessness intervention $$ coming from ALCO's Measure W. Timing re Houston's "Abatement' policy revision is notable
For those who spotted what appeared to be a staging area for law enforcement vehicles on Mills/NorthEastern campus, I confirmed with OPD that this was a training exercise with M/NE campus security; still waiting on questions of whether its campus security related, or Oakland
Is the right wing takeover of Oakland finally over? Well the group behind the recall is being sued for unpaid bills, so that’s a good sign. #recall #realestate #pamelaprice #oaklandmayor
President Trump criticized Oakland while announcing federal takeover of D.C. police. Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee responds. oaklandvoices.us/2025/08/13/tru… ✍️: Rasheed Shabazz 📸: Associated Press, City of Oakland
We really need forensic accounting to peel the onion on the committees connected to Chris Moore, Armstrong, the Recall, and others.
Campaign finance nerds: how typical is it to be paid by a independent finance committee you run? That is if you're not a fiscal oversight firm
Supporters, Subscribers: good news: great reporting grew OO membership over the past year of using Ghost...to the point where Ghost made me move to a more expensive user tier to continue. New subs, increased tiers, 1-time donations welcome to defray. 1x: oakland-observer.ghost.io/#/portal/suppo…
committee started by Taylor's ex chief of staff to change RCV rules never did anything on RCV. Ferran seeded a non profit with some funds, which ultimately came from Dreyfuss. That non profit just changed name to Black Action Alliance, one-person org that sponsored KTVU debate.

Dreyfuss and friends paying off the last debts for OUST, the recall committee funded almost exclusively by Dreyfuss and his related committees.
Luminary Intelligence is a strange marketing company to sink 27k into. Loren Taylor & several satellite spending committees of his primary backers used LI; it was a 6-month old company in 24, no principals listed on website, FB page 0 likes, 0 followers, despite being a marketer
Came across this; Under Schaaf Oakland was in top 3 of behested payments state-wide. A behested payment is in effect an office holder campaign contribution, but the money is directed to the Mayor's chosen project, program or organization. Its a way to build power and allies
The group spent a staggering $267K directly on Taylor; but also spent generously on orgs that were thinly veiled Taylor committees, Black Action Alliance, a committee of one that received all of its funds from IE's, and Empower Oakland, literally Loren Taylor.

Confusion will abound: Revitalize East Bay altered name, then registered in the City of Oakland, where it has no record of reporting, from ALCO. Now it appears the IE just started, but its the same old cash hole for our capitalist overlords that back Taylor & other ill-intendeds
