    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. Federal Election Commission saw complaints filed by conservative groups because of an odd setup in which money from the PAC flowed into two limited liability companies controlled by Chakrabarti.

    74. The right keeps creeping into the San Francisco Bay Area

    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 Scott discuss the right wing continuing to make its way into the Bay Area. President Donald Trump might’ve pulled back on sending the national guard to San Francisco (thanks to tech CEOs and Mayor Daniel Lurie’s groveling) but they’re still showing up in Alameda. Also, the Oakland City Council is doing the Oakland Police Department favors, despite the recent, suspicious death of Doug Martin.   Follow Doomloop Dispatch on X: http://x.com/doomloopdisp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomloopdispatch BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/doomloopdispatch.bsky.social Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomloopdispatch YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DoomloopDispatch Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/DoomloopDispatch SOURCES Lurie asks Trump not to send National Guard https://www.sfchronicle.com/us-world/article/lurie-trump-call-federal-immigreation-21116264.php https://sfstandard.com/2025/10/22/customs-border-protection-alameda-coast-guard/ Clash with protestors https://sfstandard.com/2025/10/23/bay-area-protest-surge-federal-agents/ How to handle ICE Raids https://www.instagram.com/p/DQItUm4jL-t/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Jackie Fielder going after Lurie Admin over contract https://missionlocal.org/2025/10/s-f-supervisor-calls-probe-mayor-5-9m-permitting-deal/ Armstrong just lost his lawsuit. https://oaklandside.org/2025/10/21/oakland-police-chief-leronne-armstrongs-whistleblower-lawsuit-dismissed/ Doug Martin’s death https://www.ktvu.com/news/doug-martin-nfl-oakland-burglary-medical-emegency Failing to approve Police Commissioners https://x.com/oak_observer/status/1981078848302149835?s=46
