Show Notes
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 discuss Barbara Lee beating Loren Taylor to become Oakland’s next mayor, despite the rich fascists behind Taylor using all kinds of tricks to help him out. We talk about foundational Oakland doing their part, Seneca Scott possibly moving, and how some lobbyists were just busted paying people to pretend to be supporters of their cause.
