Mystery “East Bay Polling Institute” is Just Two Govern for California Operatives Tuesday a mysterious organization’s Oakland attitudes poll was promoted across a spectrum of center-right sources, with several of its marquee findings used to argue that Oaklander’s want more policing, surveillance and homeless displacement. But any civic-minded Oakland resident following links to the website of the prestigious-sounding East Bay

If you don't have time to read today or are just in an "at a glance" mood, the headline pretty much says it all

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

there is no accountability for it (anon owner), they host doxxing data and refuse to take it down, they alter things (defeating their one reason to exist), and they massively copyright infringe news sites etc.

its insane that drafting as an occupation used to just involve countless huge rooms of dads in shirts and ties, scattered all over the country, leaning over tables with their asses perked up all day as their 9-5 job

So far the Mamdani administration’s strategy is “we have all these ideas about how to help people so let’s try to do them” which seems like such a rare thing and which then makes you say “wait why is that a rare thing?”

Something that is very hard to deal with in this era is how absolutely unserious these people are. They are deadly, yes. And also just deeply unserious.

Marjorie Taylor Green profile in the NYT: After the hearing, Greene held a news conference at which she threatened to identify some of the men who had abused the women. (Greene says that she didn’t know those names herself but that she could have gotten them from the victims.) Trump called Greene to voice his displeasure. Greene was in her Capitol Hill office, and according to a staff member, everyone in the suite of rooms could hear him yelling at her as she listened to him on speakerphone. Greene says she expressed her perplexity over his intransigence. According to Greene, Trump replied, “My friends will get hurt.”

This is a shocking revelation (from, yeah, an unreliable source) and I hope someone will go after it hard. Or at least turn this throwaway into a story of its own. In the shocking but not surprising genre that's been so much our daily slop for a decade.

Print means serendipity. Print means chance. Print means stumbling onto something decades later. Print means teh circumvention of censorship. Print means marginalia and pressed flowers and love notes written on the title page. Print means defiance of the algorithm. Print means human.

In a big fuck you to the Oaklanders who stayed till midnight to oppose the expansion of the #Flock contract, the #Oakland City Council is now debating sending the item directly for a Council vote on 12/16. Rules committee meets 10:30 on 12/11 at City Hall. oakland.legistar.com/MeetingDetai...

i think the financial incentive to bait people into engaging with dogshit is a big part of how we got where we are.

Zohran Mamdani’s Win Is Proof We Don’t Have to Settle for Newsom 2028 The Bushwick bisexuals have it! We can ask for so much more, and at COYOTE we plan to.

From all of us at @coyotemedia.org, thank you NYC for making every centrist Californian politician reading the news last night shit their pants.

Sounds reasonable. Looking forward to the weekly.

How come these vibe reports don't go out to the email newsletter? I keep missing them!

As Mamdani nears victory, Democrats worry about national fallout The progressive candidate is on the cusp of a historic mayoral win. And that's adding to unease among Democrats looking for a way back to national power.

The framing of this is hilarious: Democrats deeply worried about the repercussions of a victory

“Now, I know for a fact that the working class in this country looks more like a Latino woman who cleans houses than it looks like Platner, a former defense contractor turned oyster farmer with some leftist political beliefs.”

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social always.

MAGA and its agenda are *wildly* unpopular, and media are hugely out of touch for not saying so. Politicians who tap into this reality will thrive, and media outlets that reflect this truth will earn enormous audiences.

Democrats in Congress should simply do the reverse of this and claim powers the constitution doesn’t grant them, either. Put out a press release saying you’re vetoing a law, make Axios report it.

And remember that the only people "doing what the state hopes we do" are the people trying to discredit a diversity of tactics.

The contract on violence in America upholds that, first and foremost, it is white men who have the unquestionable right to use violence.

And this violence is not to defend people, but to defend who and what they view as their property.
