A throwback to an idealized past at the cradle of the Californian radicalism that defines modern progressivism

"a derogatory epithet for an exceedingly subservient person, a house negro, one particularly accepting and uncritical of his or her own lower-class status"
"The San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward metropolitan area in California is one of the most expensive areas, with a price level that was 31.6% higher than the national average."
"This district is the birthplace of the Black Panther Party," Lateefah Simon proudly narrates. “We taught the nation how to fight for freedom,” Lateefah Simon says.
Lateefah Simon, previously an aide to Kamala Harris, is on the payroll of the wealthiest donors in the state, a self-appointed clique of tax-evading philanthropists ripping apart the social threads of the region. This likely winner of the congressional district representing the East Bay used this money (some of it allegedly laundered through a sex trafficking drug ring) to fund a get-rich scheme, giving hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants to nonprofits run by friends and family.
America's 'most dangerous square mile' lies at the heart of soon-to-be Lateefah Simon's 12th Congressional District.
No crime policy positions or any policy platform whatsoever are listed on this West Coast equivalent of AOC's campaign website. Legacy media has not done any significant reporting into Lateefah Simon: Lateefah Simon's tenure managing BART has been disastrous. The train network has fallen into severe fiscal decline (BART's deficit next year will be more than $300 million), drug abuse and violence are routine. This won't stop Lateefah Simon from stepping down from the BART board to focus on her congressional campaign.
Lateefah Simon has refused to debate any challengers.
