What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

It’s weird how Trump can go scorched earth on any Republican who advocated releasing the Epstein files and the media doesn’t treat it like a pretty conclusive admission of guilt.

jurassic park and jurassic world were disasters but what if it’s a goldilocks situation and we just need to try a jurassic town

The condition of our city’s streets? WE HATE IT! So why do our streets look like this? For one, even though over 65% of Angelenos voted for safety and mobility improvements for our streets through Measure HLA, the city still hasn’t completed a SINGLE HLA project.

$5 MILLION ‼️ from our opponent’s mom! + his personal contribution of $500,000 + $500,000 from real estate and private equity donors = $6 MILLION TOTAL This is a historic amount poured into the City Controller’s race. This seat is NOT for sale. Vote for the only CPA for Controller by June 2nd!

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

If LA media covered the horse race accurately and neutrally, the headlines would say “Nithya Raman surging in the polls” - but that reporting angle is reserved for landlord and cop favorite Spencer Pratt, who has now surged down to third place

Lawless enforcement counterterrorists have been commanded by their billionaire owners to crack down on on any pro-human anti-AI activism - it will involve the usual false flags and the standard fake conspiracy charges in illegal secret courts

Counterterror czar Gorka says: "We're gonna label terrorists as terrorists, whether it's cartels, whether it's jihadis, or whether it's sadly the le — the Americans who are left wing, who are radical, and because they subscribe to some anarchic, anti-fascist, or radically pro-transgender ideology"

‼️ dsa.la/voterguide ‼️ The DSA-LA voter guide is here and it’s jam-packed with information, political analysis, and lowkey, quite a lot of fun little jokes. Before filling out your ballot, take a look and see who will best strengthen working class and socialist power in Los Angeles.

Imagine that

i think some pro-AI people are also taken aback by what feels like the sudden implication that they’re not cool when they’ve been told the last couple of years how they’re on the cutting edge and anyone who didn’t get on board would end up looking like a loser when maybe it’s the other way around

The overwhelming majority of my donations come from inside LA, while MAGA money is flooding in from across the country to support Spencer. There's only one way to stop the MAGA influx from continuing: “Vote for Nithya Raman in the June 2nd Primary.”

May into June, rounding it all out here in SoCal coming up: “I propose to fight it out on this line, if it takes all summer” …

I really appreciate how the City Controller Kenneth Mejia has been highlighting this issue. Liability costs are out of control. As mayor, I’ll cap how much departments (including LAPD) can tap into the General Fund for settlements before using their own budgets + prevent causes of liability.

The ProPublica article is amazing but this data visualization is not great. In reality all the money you, an average person, ever made in your life would be invisible on the Bezos chart:

Republican voters in Kentucky who presumably spent much of 2024 banging on about Epstein just ejected from Congress their own Republican congressman, who helped get the Epstein files out, in order to please the close friend of Epstein, Donald Trump.

The “centrist” establishment should apply their voteshaming tactic across all brand advertising, not just politics: “Congratulations YOU MORONS, 7-Up has now dropped out of the top ten beverages. *You* Sierra Mist drinkers are to blame, the rise of Sprite rests squarely on *your* shoulders.”

Luckily this never happens in comedy, everything is legit, organic and earned in the truthtelling industry.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Corporate landlords and the LA Police Union has spent over a million dollars (so far!) to stop me. I’m fully funded by individual donors like you and we need your help to spread our message across the city. Link below to donate! secure.actblue.com/donate/nithy...

My opponent’s mom is spending $2.5 million to take me down, your independent City Controller who’s accountable to YOU, the people. Their attack ads make no sense and show that my opponent is not qualified to be the City’s accountant and auditor! Remember to vote by June 2!
