THE ONION PRESENTS: Bad Pedophile. A HISTORIC CINEMATIC NIGHT OF FILM AT THE MOVIES @ New Parkway Theater
  After it’s planned release through a major theater chain was canceled at the last minute, online satire website The Onion’s mockumentary about Jeffrey Epstein and his relationship to figures in the White House and elsewhere is making its way to independent theaters, along with their parody of dating reality shows in a double feature that, apparently some people don’t want you to see.

Stop OPD's Militarization @ Oakland City Hall
  the Oakland Police Commission will vote on Agenda Item #6 — a dangerous proposal to hand OPD $2 million for assault rifles, armored BearCats, drones, and other military-grade weapons.
