Oakland leaders continue to ignore the problems that everyday Oaklanders live with in East Oakland. They want families to walk past trash, debris, burned-out cars, and witness gunshots, drugs, violence, car crashes, and pedestrian accidents.

It's unfortunate the Coliseum sale to cover this year's budget gap is a baked cake. It's precisely the kind of issue CMs should scrutinize, debate vigorously, and explain to residents why they think selling is in Oakland's long-term financial interest.

I attended hometown hero Chief
@armstrongforoak
campaign kickoff. The message is clear: we need to revitalize Oakland and restore it to the thriving city we all remember. Back then, while crime existed, it wasn't as blatant and brazen as it is today.

Now this is just plain sad. The city government cannot be serious, are you kidding me?
The owner of the Denny's that closed wrote a letter to the city of Oakland asking to partner to help stop the crime and help other businesses.
If course, they were ignored.
Now, they are closing. This level of incompetence is shocking
@MayorShengThao
. Please resign.

🚨BREAKING 🚨This emotional parent below, her voice trembling with fear for her child's safety and the city. It's clear she's frustrated and saddened by the city's inaction, especially when it comes to her child's well-being. Oakland's city leadership needs to address this now!

✂️💵Selling the coliseum is a short-term solution. For long-term fiscal responsibility, we need a comprehensive evaluation of every department to identify and eliminate wasteful spending. Reviewing the recent

report is a crucial first step.

We need to fight like we’ve never fought before, these private companies are plaguing our public schools—we are under attack. The private companies are making billions of dollars off the backs of our kid’s education! And that my friends, can’t happen. 💪🏽

This is the city I grew up in, and I care deeply about its future. Is this the Oakland we want? We deserve better! We need leaders who will hold people accountable and develop a plan to clean up our city.

🚨OAKLAND IN CRISIS🚨 Oakland Mayor is no where to be found and someone once again is shot in our city. The leadership in Oakland is absolutely disgraceful, the entire city council should be ashamed of themselves. This is absurd!
A person driving in Oakland Thursday evening was shot by a gunman in a nearby vehicle, police say. REPORT:

Is our city prioritizing the right issues? My tax dollars going after an elderly man for graffiti while trash overwhelms E12th Street & other city property is unacceptable. The Public Works Director & Council committee responsible for sanitation needs to address this serious now!

🗒️🚔OAKLAND TAKE NOTES🚨🚔Oakland needs a program to deploy new recruits with field training officers for service calls in business districts. However, staffing shortages make it difficult. Increasing staffing and upgrading communication systems are crucial!
We’re working to make San Jose safer by relocating our Field Training Program to Downtown San Jose. Our 24 recent
