@AAANTWON & the boy @SAFEMansion on this beautiful rendition of “Love Shine Down” produced by FaTees. First track off the @SickSadOakland mixtape.

I want to ring in summer with this track. Blasting through the streets, top down, fire hydrants loose, short shorts, youth in heat. Antwon’s wooing on this track will have girls batting their eyelashes, and Chris’ cooing will make them fall in love.

FALL IN LUV THIS SUMMER 2 THIS TRACK. 

HOLY SHIT YALL JAM OUT

Oakland luv

Instead of writing the 20 pages I have due tomorrow, I hung out with some fine folks and lots of pups yesterday.

Ships In The Night, Oakland.

Proof that The Noobyorker can GET DOWN.

“While the camp was in existence, crime went down 19 percent in Oakland, a statistic the city was careful to conceal.”

America, and stuff.

We are calling for February 20th, 2012 to be a “National Occupy Day in Support of Prisoners.”

In the Bay Area we will “Occupy San Quentin,” to stand in solidarity with the people confined within its walls and to demand the end of the incarceration as a means of containing those dispossessed by unjust social policies. …

We call on Occupies across the country to support:

1.  Abolishing unjust sentences, such as the Death Penalty, Life Without the Possibility of Parole, Three Strikes, Juvenile Life Without Parole, and the practice of trying children as adults.

2.  Standing in solidarity with movements initiated by prisoners and taking action to support prisoner demands, including the Georgia Prison Strike and the Pelican Bay/California Prisoners Hunger Strikes.

3.  Freeing political prisoners, such as Mumia Abu-Jamal, Leonard Peltier, Lynne Stewart, Bradley Manning and Romaine “Chip” Fitzgerald, a Black Panther Party member incarcerated since 1969.

4. Demanding an end to the repression of activists, specifically the targeting of African Americans and those with histories of incarceration, such as Khali in Occupy Oakland who could now face a life sentence, on trumped-up charges, and many others being falsely charged after only exercising their First Amendment rights.

5. Demanding an end to the brutality of the current system, including the torture of those who have lived for many years in Secured Housing Units (SHUs) or in solitary confinement.

6. Demanding that our tax money spent on isolating, harming and killing prisoners, instead be invested in improving the quality of life for all and be spent on education, housing, health care, mental health care and other human services which contribute to the public good.

Occupy protesters stop a group of big-rigs from entering the Port of Oakland, December 12, 2011.

That’s an Iraq war veteran who is still in the hospital in critical condition. There are reports that google was asked to censor images of police brutality by law enforcement. March tonight at liberty plaza, I’ll be there. There’s a solidarity march in NY too.
