    76. Oakland is winning against the surveillance state

    Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Kevin and D Scot discuss how Oaklanders fought against a $2.25 million-deal between Oakland and Flock Surveillance. We also get into the chaos of upcoming political races and the continuing creep of the Network State.  *One of the reasons Saikat Chakrabarti was pushed out of AOC’s staff was that the finances surrounding Justice Democrats.
