Doomloop Dispatch

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. On this episode, we talk to Matt Ray and Mat Wranovics of Left In The Bay, who provide leftist history from the Bay Area. They tell us everything we could ever want to know about the history of Berkeley's People's Park and it's glorious.

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show that covers the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. This is a longer episode because it's two interviews Scot and I did with Ami Chien Mills on her radio show, Moment of Truth on KSQD in Santta Cruz/Monterey. Scot and I could talk about this stuff all day so it was a ton of fun for us.

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. On this episode we talk with Christin Evans, a San Francisco business owner and homeless activist. She recently reported on a homeless sweep in San Francisco for the SF Standard. Her piece humanized the victims of these cruel sweeps while also showing how the sweeps hurt more than help.

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. This episode is a short one without Scot because of time constraints we had this week. Also, we did two radio shows that will probably come out on this channel in the future. I run through some recent headlines, including the dehumanizing homeless sweeps in San Francisco and Oakland Police calling on Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao to resign.

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Scot and Kevin talk with Pecolia Manigo of Oakland Rising Action, a nonprofit fighting against the recalls of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and Alameda District Attorney Pamela Price. We discuss the motivations behind the recalls, the connection to Oakland Police and why progressive wins should be highlighted in the battle against these undemocratic recall movements.

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the show that covers the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Kevin L. Jones and D. Scot Miller discuss the new version of Empower Oakland, a group of "Moderate" (really Republican) elites who will be trying to influence elections a la GrowSF. We also discuss how some techies are calling out right wing VC David Sacks, but not for being a pest to San Franciscans.
