It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

professional photo shoot and announcement in the New York Times. Clearly committed to local politics and the people of Los Angeles and definitely not using the city to build a national profile. definitely not that.

Nithya has been on the council long enough to become disappointing to some progressives who’ve supported her. I don’t see her as a Mamdani unless she shifts her rhetoric on several issues but she’s currently better than Bass.
