Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Scot and I talk with Brian Donahue, editor of the Emeryville Tattler. Brian’s been reporting on Emeryville politics on his blog the Tattler since 2010. We get into the history of Emeryville and what he’s seen over the years, and how the city’s DA is trying to censor him for being too critical. Special guest appearance from Kalimah Priforce!

From Kalimah: Send your statements of support to [email protected] and attend Mr. Donahue’s court hearing on May 22, 2025, at 1:30 PM at the Wiley Manuel Courthouse at 661 Washington St in Oakland."
