Oversized men in undersized tights tackling one another as millions watch. Let the festival of homoerotic sublimation begin! #SuperBowl
Kid tossing a football just knocked the lid off my coffee mug as I walked by, w/out spilling a drop. Tom Brady wishes he had such precision.
Someone in #OO is proposing a peace & love march on Valentine's Day. Flowers, candy, bubbles & kissing. Aw... http://t.co/3MzTxuaK #LoveBloc
I'm a confirmed attendee of #ArtMurmur this evening, so feel free to tweet at me if you're there...
PSA: East 15th St is one-way going southeast btwn 1st Ave & 14th Ave. Driving your SUV northwest on E 15th may terrify a cyclist. #BikeOAK
PA has enacted a safe-passing law: http://t.co/nI06foRL Shame on @JerryBrownGov for vetoing one in CA: http://t.co/awQrMtVn #BikeCA #BikeOAK
Who among my Oakland tweeple will be around Art Murmur & the New Parkway preview this evening?
MT @ryanj: I stayed home, took no part in the march, and was gassed. Hitting residential areas shows little concern for public safety
Anyone fired yet? RT @AngelaWoodall: OPD Chief Howard Jordan reorganizes dept again w/ "significant command changes in his executive ranks."
Social justice offsets are like the carbon offsets of the banking industry---and I'm very skeptical of both.
"We're sorry about the several thousands foreclosed homes in Oakland---but we gave money to nonprofits to make up for it!" --Ginormous bank.
Whenever you threaten to move $ out of megabanks, they cite a list of local charities they've given to, as if they can buy indulgences.
Here's another story on City of Berkeley trying to move $ out of Wells Fargo. Time to restart push 4 Oak to do similar! http://t.co/Gv99ROKA
In case you missed my open letter to @JeanQuan & city councilors re @oaklandpoliceca & #OccupyOakland http://t.co/Ya1fp64e
Open letter from me to Mayor @JeanQuan and my council representatives about OPD and Occupy Oakland. #oo http://t.co/Ya1fp64e
I hate it when I write 1500 words, try to edit them down to 1000 words, and end up with 1700 words instead. #TwitterIsSoMuchEasier
Just wrote 1500 word letter to Mayor @JeanQuan & Councilmembers about OPD. Now hard part: editing it! Will post to blog when done.
Some of the more media-savvy #OO folks have also left presser, & are giving one-on-one interviews with individual reporters.
The press wanted to ask questions, and were told to wait until end of #OO presser. But they eventually gave up waiting.
I get that #OO wants to include wide array of occupiers, but parade of speakers has gone on for over 45 minutes now. Press drifting away.
#OO speaker savvily drew line between mass arrests of #oo and US prison/incarceration epidemic. See NYer, e.g.: http://t.co/kFCyyteB
TV reporters who rarely interview everyday #oo ppl suddenly pay attention if they hear the words "press conference." http://t.co/bz8WSQck
No accountability! RT @insidebayarea: MT @henryklee: interim @oaklandpoliceca Chief Jordan officially named top cop by Mayor @JeanQuan #opd
People trying 2 do this in Oakland too. Harder than expected: "Berkeley considers pulling out of Wells Fargo Bank" http://t.co/1BsLHH7s #oo
Ah, the awful irony of #OO being trapped, beaten, & teargassed by OPD next 2 a monument of MLK which was erected by the Chamber of Commerce.
How about that tank thing the Alameda County Sheriffs brought on Saturday night, or the Armored Personnel Carrier from Hayward PD? WTF'ingF?
I'm losing steam. Probly won't speak at this meeting tonight. Gotta strategize my timing better next time. #oakmtg
CM Kernighan, my representative, got slightly snippy when asking whether council could actually discuss budget before voting on it. #oakmtg
CM Brunner speaking about importance of city's arts program. I don't know why funding the arts is a city priority, personally. #oakmtg
Quiet protest in gallery against OPD violence & violations of policy, law, & conditional rights. #oo #oakmtg http://t.co/Dx2pwYSE
A woman in the audience has her head in her chair and is talking about Satan, Judas & Jesus. Odd thing is, I actually know her. #oakmtg
Councilmembers have heard all speakers on budget (with some OPD critics thrown in) and ate now starting their own discussion. #oakmtg
.@itsWanda Oops, typo. "For services and other workers." ;)
"Just like they say banks got bailed out, we got sold out, police beat the shit out of us, but WE got arrested." - @alyssa011968 #oakmtg #oo
Now @alyssa011968 speaking and asking why city always has $$ for security, but never flute service or other city workers. #oakmtg
When some1 in gallery called out, "pay attention," CM Reid glared at balcony, shook head & chuckled. Then started paying attention. #oakmtg
Is it just me, or are councilmembers and @jeanquan paying closer attention to the #oo speakers tonight compared to previous mtgs? #oakmtg
Speaker reading aloud from Occupied Wall Street Journal. Pretty sure @jeanquan isn't a subscriber, since she only reads @nytimes #oakmtg
Some #OccupyOakland speakers might be well advised to pay attention to which other #oo speakers get listened to closely, and why. #oakmtg
City Admin Santana was basically told that it just takes a long time to process so many arrestees and all their property. #oakmtg
