4th of July in West Oakland: "the entire city was a war zone" 
Okay, it wasn't literally a war zone, just a bunch of extremely loud fireworks in every direction. As the very real war in Iraq continues to take lives and waste resources, Americans across the country delighted themselves in jingoistic small-town parades and/or shows of light and thunder in the night sky. In Oakland, neighborhood fireworks give the professional displays a run for their money. The threats of "zero-tolerance" for fireworks made by authorities beforehand apparently failed to...

Alameda Megaplex Battle Update - 6/22 Interestingly enough, we are still being called a "small group" despite petition signatures which have almost doubled since only last week when we presented close to a 1,000 names, and despite the admitted fact that the City Council and Mayor cannot answer their communications promptly because they are overwhelmed by the number of letters and emails being received on this topic.

Can Progressives Win “Yes” votes in November’s “Just Say No” Election? Governor Schwarzenegger’s call for a statewide special election in November could potentially reshape San Francisco’s local contests. An historically low off-year election turnout has been replaced by a contest that should bring masses of Democrats and Greens to the polls to defeat the Governor’s right-wing power grab.
