great crowds for #mayday2025 in #Oakland ! Pictures from Fruitvale and GrandLake. Feel the energy rising!
Get yourselves ready for #mayday in #Oakland ! A full dance card of events from 11am downtown, to 3pm at Fruitvale, and back to Grand Lake at 4:30p. Catch as much as you can, and make #GoodTrouble on the way!
#handsoff #oakland just 1p start, already!
HandsOff protest in #Oakland April 5! https://mobilize.us/s/V4BrE5 seems to have marshaled an impressive set of sponsors. I've been waiting for in-the-streets action!
#trump24 A flag from middle Wisconsin today, saying the quiet part out loud.

Having quick feedback on an issue is great, unless it's from an AI bot! the chatbot (for/from langchain.ai no less!) makes up some irrelevant drivel as a response, AND THEN GIVES ITSELF A THUMPS UP for doing so!?

Typos and redundant sentences make it seem like it was produced in a rush. EG, here is a plot of its data regarding a key result: the number of “direct communications” with people at risk of being involved in shootings (as victims or perpetrators) dropped dramatically with the pandemic and has never recovered. You're welcome:)

Mayor Thao initiated the audit and has already endorsed its recommendations. It comes to City Council next Tuesday.

3/3

where's AI when you need one!?
@d3cline i'm confused by this follow request? it's regarding someone i'm already following, and comes with your "... you might want to review manually" notice?
