    Oakland is a great city, and doesn’t deserve all the slander it gets. It’s just the far right spreading fear and hatred by attacking anyone who doesn’t share their politics or skin color.

    Reminds me of Charlie Kirk recently talking to a Berkeley grad and interrupting her to say “Berkeley is a slum, it’s a hellhole” or something to that effect. It’s so comically stupid, but as a Berkeley resident for 20+ years, I hope he keeps it up because it (hopefully) scares away other hateful idiots like him.

      Within a few years of moving here, the boathouse on the water by the freeway from the Bay Bridge (should be named for Emperor Norton because he proposed it) had graffiti saying “Republicans go away.”
