I keep having to tell people eugenics didn’t start with Trump.
It’s quite literally the foundation of America and needs to be discussed as such.

New — I did a brief history of the ‘Fork in the Road’ email to show how Musk screwed up by treating federal workers like fucking idiots, and how the pressure to resign is about breaking morale more than culling the workforce.

If you’re good at internet sleuthing and want to put your skills to work to help wildfire victims you can check for LA county rentals that have suddenly doubled in price, publicly name and shame the agents doing this, and report them to the government because it’s illegal: oag.ca.gov/contact/cons...

Let’s give them LAPD’s budget please!
These firefighters are amazing, man. They are helping my friend’s cul-de-sac prepare for the worst right now. Cutting vegetation, putting outdoor furniture into garage, duct taping vents, etc. They do so much more than we know to protect us.

Good morning from Los Angeles where price gouging rentals during a disaster is illegal! Even vacant units! Call (800) 593-8222 to report price increases over 10% to LA County. Idk who you tell in the rest of CA but it’s not legal here at all. Fucking landlords.

The Los Angeles city controller is the only authoritative government source on the budget. @lacontroller.bsky.social is now weighing in on the recent discourse. Make sure to send this & tag all the people on here that were talking about the LA Fire Department budget not being cut. They were wrong.
Re: LAFD Budget
Seeing City officials in the press ignore the severe impacts of these budget cuts, especially the ones covering for their poor budget decisions to cut a majority of departments' budgets & even AFTER Chief Crowley told them about the impacts these cuts have had, is DISGRACEFUL.
