Ted Lieu’s never had a bad thing to say about his NIMBY constituents so I’d complain less about cost of living issues if I were him.

New Luskin poll for LA mayoral election: Bass 25%, Pratt 11%, Raman 9%, undecided 40%. n=813, late March luskin.ucla.edu/volatility-a...

Nextdoor is like if the NY Post had an edition just for my neighborhood.

“The Color of Law” on the table in the foreground is a nice Easter egg.

The Atlantic, which is Forbes for libs over 70, published this because libs over 70 grew up with fewer immigrants than any generation in American history.

The guy who fired this super cool and extremely law-abiding local librarian has the least surprising LinkedIn bio ever.

Three project replaces stretch of single-family homes

whatever that is, it's not law

“Coastal elites are the problem” is always and everywhere a conservative talking point.

Streetcar suburbs get the goods.

A few dozen Lafayette Square NIMBYs could double Mayor Bass’s favorables so this kinda makes sense.

Don’t get mad at the (borderline fictional) content, get mad at the audience of white urban libs over 70 who want to believe that the millennial PMC is a bunch of spoiled, effete losers.

Quick notes: - Berkeley IGS is one of the best pollsters in California so when they speak I would listen - Bass, as an incumbent mayor, only at 25% is absolutely awful for her - Nithya, being top two already despite not having that much of a campaign yet, is good for her

St Patrick described himself as a refugee ("profugus"). He was a Roman Briton, trafficked into slavery in Ireland as a teenager who chose to return in adulthood as a missionary. He was elevated to the role of Ireland's national saint in the 7th century by the church of Armagh. Happy #StPatricksDay ☘️

Fill out your green card at the border, they stamp a date on it, and when you show up a year from that date at the courthouse they’ll trade it for your US passport. Clean orderly unambiguous.

Karen Bass’s unfavorables are 2:1.

Ok this is just defunding California but woke.

The no taxes on incomes below $75k plan is a great idea *if* it only applies to blue state taxpayers. Otherwise it’s just woke DOGE.

Thanks for the write-up! Everyone in LA is tired of the bad faith misinformation campaign and charade that Traci Park keeps pushing to kill approved affordable housing on the Westside. That's why I'm running against her, dear readers! Help me win for more housing on the Westside at faizahforla.com.

The West LA VA should build a few of these at the D Line station to fund services for homeless vets in perpetuity.

Relatedly I’ve never understood why people refer to themselves as “socialists.” I probably don’t understand because I personally am dumb but according to Marx, isn’t socialism just the stage of history that comes after capitalism and before communism? How can someone personally be “socialist”?

Another article where the Venn diagram of groups who are mad at Nithya Raman and groups who are strangling Los Angeles is a circle.

I think what a lot of left-leaning critics of YIMBY/progressive types miss is we just want serious people, which Raman and Mamdani are

It already exists and they post their takes for free on bluesky dot app.

The Democratic Party is the vanguard of global bourgeois liberalism (laudatory).

The future of the Democratic Party is the PMC which is why a small portion of the Left loves to holler about how the PMC is bad, it's the same thing that happened with YIMBYism

Everyone who disagrees with me is an advocacy group.

He may release the government files on aliens but how are our roads prepared? (I absolutely love humanity, this is very real submitted testimony to the Connecticut Legislative Transportation Committee)

These losers only found one parent in the entire district to sign onto this lawsuit.

JT Parr’s a YIMBY. We’re gonna win.

Idk how I missed this excellent @jessezwick.bsky.social piece a few weeks back.

AOC is going to be stuck in 2016 forever.

new americans are born all over the world every day

Nithya Raman is making all the right people mad. Everyone quoted in this article is mad at her, including: Douglas Herman (Bass campaign spokesman) Melina Abdullah, co-founder of BLM/LA The LAPPL Monica Rodriguez

People try to pigeonhole younger politicians like Zohran and Nithya as leftist or DSA-aligned or whatever but more than anything they’re just the kind of people who, unlike the fossils in Congress, would already be working on wielding their power to fix this. Relatedly, vote Wiener for Congress.

Los Angeles is a miracle #goodmorning

The vibe of the Halftime Show

Karen Bass would benefit from a little introspection.

Geriatric incumbent democratic entitlement is ruining the party.

“I have deep respect for Mayor Bass. But over the last few months in particular, I’ve really begun to feel like unless we have some big changes in how we do things in Los Angeles, that the things we count on are not going to function anymore.”

It takes chutzpah to say you support “abundant housing” after you voted against SB 79 @asmrickzbur.bsky.social. You’ve lost this constituent’s vote.

Bundy Triangle housing is coming along nicely.

The PMC is attaining class consciousness. Let’s fucking go.

The issue is that the city of Los Angeles seems to perceive the kinds of crazy people in in places like the Palisades as their only constituency

Stephen Miller, terrified of the California that Prop 187 made, has now Prop 187ed the entire country in a dipshit attempt to ethnically purge his home state (and the country as a whole).
