This is terrible. ICE separated a single mother from her son, and deported her without him, leaving him in the care of her sister’s abusive ex. Who murdered him.

Melania Trump infesting the White House with bees is the funniest thing no one's talking about right now #Bees #WhiteHouse

The last fundraising reporting deadline in the LA mayoral election is tonight. Next week's news cycle will be determined by how much money we raise in the next 10 hours. If you have the means, and you want to help get a pro-housing mayor of LA, donate today: secure.actblue.com/donate/nithy...

Friends in highland park took the metro to the academy museum with their toddler today to see the Ghibli exhibit. D is absolutely getting more people onto the train

Please attend and show your support for the Metro North Hollywood-Pasadena BRT! 🚨🚌 The Burbank, CA City Council is poised to further delay the project, citing concerns about increased traffic due to proposed bus lanes on Olive Ave. & stations triggering SB 79. @streetsforall.org

Subnautica 2 is exactly what I want it to be so far. Very pleased.

I used to feel a little bad that The Onion is about to surpass WaPo in print subs and stopped promoting the membership as a direct foil until today they came out with “Do POOR BABIES deserve DIAPERS???” so therefore

Airbnb is the biggest funder of a PAC spending $1,000,000 to keep Karen Bass in office. Right there in the fine print.  Bass delivers the policy Airbnb wants. Airbnb spends millions to elect Bass. Angelenos pay higher rents. Pay-to-play. In the open. With receipts.

found a new NOAA gallery that has terrible metadata but also this guy

man i miss working on food shows. ugly delicious was so fun. streamers really need to start making food shows again. (well, they really need to start making *everything* again)

So, I’ve been doing a pretty in-depth analysis of where to build the highest-ridership transit in this city, and in roughly what order we should do it, and this is most interesting conclusion i’ve come to, in part because it runs most counter to the way metro currently plans.

we love a new map

LAX's road expansion project is now blocking road safety improvements www.streetsforall.org/blog/laxs-ro...

fwiw on gov hilton and bianco are clearly at their ceilings and 2-dem is now far, far more likely outocome than 2-gop. any porter voters that are movable to steyer could help depress republican turnout statewide by switching to steyer

I think the argument needs to be made to basic dem bass voters that voting for nithya in the primary boxes out Pratt and gets us a safe dem/dem general. I actually think a lot of them would be receptive to that.

Sigh.

🇺🇸 trifectas get <one> shot at doing something Obama chose policy (ACA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem Biden chose policy (ARP/IRA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem The platform must be <immediate> institutional reform next time. Right from the start, as @dhnexon.bsky.social said

I'm absolutely captivated at her sincere surprise and confusion. she is genuinely unable to even hypothesize why there's pushback. her ghasts are fully flabbered.

Metrolink sent more detailed info on service cuts to SBCTA (and presumably other agencies). San Bernardino Line, currently the highest ridership line, could see service halved, while the IE-OC line would see even more severe cuts. www.gosbcta.com/wp-content/u...

Annnnnnnd fraud on my credit card and now I’ll need to change auto pay for god knows how many things again. Fucking lovely.

I know a lot of nithya peeps follow me - begging the campaign to embrace the Mamdani comparison and let that be the framing of the campaign for the majority of the city that is *just* starting to pay attention. LA is starving for that kind of political energy of our own and Nithya can deliver it.

Oh there's a 2nd part to this:

welp finally another mayor poll out and nithya is still 2 points behind pratt. pray to god that some of the miller/rae people flip over to avoid the bass/pratt runoff and that pratt is close to his ceiling and undecideds break more for nithya

Getting increasingly concerned that if Bass gets her preferred general opponent in Pratt that she’s gonna pull a 2016 and we’re gonna be massively fucked.

Bankruptcy and dissolution is the moderate outcome

vote for nithya!

I wrote about a city being set in motion

“We, the creators of the Torment Nexus, are now suing the writers of the classic science fiction novel ‘Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.’”

Not only are the new D Line stations gleaming, the art in all three of them is incredibly cool

if this actually passes i'm popping champagne. and then i'll get drunk enough to go into my golf course rant. ecstatic that this has a shot.

Today’s jubilant D Line opening really showed the promise of positive urbanism. People are starving for community and human-scale cities. The lawns of LACMA across the street were packed with people picnicking and listening to the jazz band, the neighborhoods were popping, people seeing our D line

Gotta say I was dubious of the new LACMA design but the experience of it is actually really cool

back home so baby girl can nap then we'll check out the new LACMA and fairfax station

Enjoyed her opening day ride!

At La Brea

Today’s the day! At 12:30 today, @metrolosangeles.bsky.social opens their D line to La Cienega! So enjoy this poster I created to celebrate!🎊

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

The city of LA had 43,695 homeless people in 2025. Building a new permanently affordable home requires $708,000 in public subsidy. Building enough subsidized housing to house just the people who are currently homeless would cost $31 billion. The city of LA’s total annual budget is $15 billion.

ok goal is to make it to la brea station with my daughter in her cute metro onesie in time for the first train

happy last night as a terminal station, Wilshire / Western

Wow DSA LA’s straw poll of its membership showed Raman had a plurality just shy of a majority.

Uh did the Hollywood Bow get rid of all of its gluten free food lol? Fuck me and everyone with celiac I guess. There’s like five places and not a single menu item it looks like.

Gonna play the D Line opening by ear tomorrow since it’ll depend on when i get off of a long work call, but hoping to get to La Brea station around noon to catch the first train through.

FYI Nithya's doing a reddit AMA with a ton of extremely detailed answers and proposals. Way more enlightening than the debate last night.

Is this a poison pill for LA's proposed Low Rise program (5-16 unit, 3-4 story buildings)? Parking has to be either underground or behind the building. Most of the lots where Low Rise applies are small, 5-6k sq ft. Feels like only zero-parking projects would work using this program - not great!

this is the first time i've really suffered listening to spencer pratt speak and holy shit this guy is a fucking idiot lol

You’ll find the names and stories of the victims as best as we at L.A. TACO could research them. We hope this list offers a moment to remember these individuals. The full list: lataco.com/ice-death-tr... By Memo Torres, Aisha Wallace-Palomares, Izzy Ramirez, and Odessa Hairapetian
