A group of homeless mothers who moved into a vacant house in west oakland are due back in court this morning.

Its located in west oakland on magnolia street. The homeless moms and their kids entered without permission back in midnovember. They started the Advocacy Group moms for housing to draw attention to the amount of home sitting vacant during the housing crisis, but the Real Estate Investment company that bought the house evicted the families earlier this month. The moms do have a lot of support. Oakland Community Land trusts offered to buy the house and rented to do these moms but the moms attorneys said that the Real Estate Company will not negotiate with them. The women filed a claim of right to possession. The Oakland City Council members support the moms. They wrote the Council Members a letter accusing them of supporting illegal activity.

That game wouldnt be as fun if it wasnt dramatic. As long as you win. Yeah. I didnt like getting up early. They did win, and the 40 niners are your champions. Thats something weve been waiting all season to say. We remember the heartbreaking loss to the Seattle Seahawks during the november match up but last night was much different. A lot was on the line with this game for how the playoffs shake out out. A couple inches in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. They win 2621. Those mean the 40 niners are the number 1 seed instead of the number 5 seed in the nfc playoffs. Those also mean the seahawks likely play all of their games on the road instead of posting at least one. We heard from jimmy about the journey to get here. Its just resilience. Over the last two years, we were put in a situation that wouldnt always turn out the best for us. I think this year weve had a couple tough ones.

Plenty of watch parties. One restaurant in san jose gathers to watch the big game. They were all very ecstatic when the clock struck zero. Amazing game. Postgame, again, like they did. Fantastic finish. They held off. Good defense, good offense. A it was great. They bring it every time. They are made for moments like this. Theyve done it all season. They will do it through the playoffs. No doubt about it. No doubt about it. Good attitude. The fans say they feel good about a possible super bowl appearance in miami. One game at a time. Its fun to get excited. We are getting excited about the weather for those folks who are headed outside for the new years eve celebrations. The rain has come. We are on the dry side. Plan accordingly. It might be cold, but thats it. We look at the thames. If you are traveling, we are headed over to denver. Its 15. By the way, very cold temps in the rockies there. Thats where most of the cold air is. We will have some 30s. Our highs will be above average. 57 to 60. Once again, one heck of a month in december, as has much of Sonoma County. We may have been way above everyone else the last 24 hours. So the rain ends and it is breezy. Good visibility. A break from the rain the rest of the week. Son and a few clouds. Maybe sunday we cloud up. I think the best bet for the next rain if you want to plan accordingly looks to be the ninth or tenth of january. The system is diving to Southern California. There it goes, taking all the rain and cloud cover with it. 30s have popped up for many. 30s and low 40s on some of these temps. We dropped to mid 40s. San mateo is now at 44. 30 in truckee, also sacramento up to arcata. The cloud cover is spilling into Southern California with some rain and snow, but most of that is staying offshore, so thats why they are in the mid 50s. Theyve got the cloud cover. For us, if you are looking for rain, go north. It looks like the rest of the week we will be dry and temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s. Tomorrow the morning lows will be colder. We may see a few high clouds coming in the rest of the week. Overall, its dry. Going out to the first week of january there. Happy new year are you getting excited . New york city is.
