“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.”
Councilmember Nithya Raman to run for L.A. mayor, challenging onetime ally Karen Bass
Raman would immediately pose a formidable challenge to Bass. She was the first council member to be elected with support from the Democratic Socialists of America.

Trump openly used the ‘n-word’ on the set of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ I heard his obese ass say it and so did the shows producers. If you still consume Mark Burnett products you are subsidizing their racism. NBC could have stopped him at the time but money mattered more to them.

Los Angeles is America's second biggest city. Basically anyone paying recognizes that the city is broken and that the people running it have failed. And yet, as of today, there is not a single serious challenger to the incumbent mayor. Why have Democrats just given up on the cities they run?

Trump’s a fascist, but no he didn’t disgrace the National Prayer Breakfast. It *is* a disgrace. Yes it’s “bi-partisan,” if GOP dominated. It is also a private Christian nationalist event produced by an organization tied to 1/2 the dictators of the last 80 years. & literal Nazis.

Hot take: people saying
1) "this is tactically well-calibrated going to make a big difference for immigrants and rapid responders" vs.
2) "this is not good enough, we need to abolish ICE, and we can't trust D leadership"
Are both correct, and both groups play an important part of our ecosystem.
