Note: this episode was recorded Wednesday, before Thursday’s whirlwind news of a Bay Area “surge” in federal enforcement that didn’t materialize—for now. We’ll talk about it in next week’s episode.
This week on Oaklandside 510, our investigation into how Oakland City Council members routinely ignore public records laws, good news on lead contamination progress in Oakland schools, a guide to local “resistance” activism, and new cafes and restaurants around the Town.
