new Reddit troll post just hit and it’s a banger. PLEASE DOWNVOTE THESE WOMEN
r/elcerrito u/DownVoteCrusader6767 • 4h The El Cerrito "Mean Girls" hijacking El Cerrito Social Media and Discussions Needs to Stop! There are a few women hijacking El Cerrito social media. People refer to them as the "MEAN GIRLS." And these women need to stop their antics. The have commandeered the moderation process on sites like Nextdoor and Reddit. They ruthlessly attack others but then want anyone who is slightly critical of them removed, banned, whatever. They have silenced free speech and political discussion with their relentless attempts to control others. Several were Nextdoor moderators, and many people feel unfairly censored by the Mean Girls They call political candidates for city council "Nazi" and "Transphobic" or "4chan memelords." It's sickening Then they write hit pieces on Oakland Review of Books and post them to Nextdoor and Reddit. Always claiming to be the victims, never the aggressors, but criticizing everyone around them. Some have been appointed to city committees. Others may try running for office. They use multiple Reddit "burner accounts" to try and downvote the people that they have pissed off in their relentless quest to create Chaos in El Cerrito. Please downvote these women. See their multiple accounts and watch them try to attack others online. We together as a community can put an end to this cyber nonsense. Political Free Speech has its place in El Cerrito. The Mean Girls shouldn't be dictating whose posts remain and whos posts get deleted. They shouldn't be lobbying for library taxes and bike lanes and incumbents that put these young women into powerful positions within the city. I have to wonder, who are they working for to be this invested in local government in their 30s? Most women this age are going to parties, and taking wine busses to Napa, while others are raising small children and just getting by at a stressful time in their lives. Most women this age are not giving speeches about social media at city council meetings on random Tuesdays or trying to raise their own taxes along with yours to buy a new library building at a BART station. What's in it for them?

Loved seeing Heal the Hill get a shoutout in this essay by @amybrown.xyz in @oaklandreviewofbooks.org ! I found it really affirming to intentionally make time to talk face to face with neighbors you know you disagree with about local issues. www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/the-villain-...

Over the next few months, we’re about to hear a lot about what El Cerrito is doing wrong, so I decided to make a video about something I think El Cerrito does really well: our public park bathrooms.

What else makes you feel lucky to live in El Cerrito (or jealous you don’t live here)? #elcerrito
