My email to Fan Services, for all the good it will do. (Wrote it before I realized a formal invitation had already been extended by President Pudding Brain.)
Like millions in this city, I cheered and felt the collective joy of Los Angeles when the Dodgers won the World Series. It has been a hard year for the people of LA, for the city. Communities devastated first by fires and then by the injust, brute force of the federal government that arrived in the summer to terrorize our neighborhoods and kidnap our neighbors. Angelenos showed our grit and resiliency. We banded together to care for each other. We fought back. And when the hometown team won, we celebrated. Fans supported this team even when it seemed the season was doomed. We are asking now that the team return that support. Stand up to the oppressive government regime that has unleashed terror on your fans. If a White House invitation arises, refuse it. Stand with the people who supported you through thick and thin. Your fans deserve no less. If an invitation is accepted, I sadly must say that my days spending money at Dodger Stadium will be over. I can’t love a team that won’t love its fans back. So please, don’t go to the White House.

WIC, Housing & other assistance in LA County
WIC • The PHFE WIC (the biggest WIC in LA County) is open during the government shutdown. Government employees who are furloughed/working without pay may qualify for WIC, if they are pregnant or have a child under age 5, so we encourage them to apply and get WIC to help with grocery costs, even if it’s only temporary. • Applying for WIC is simple and can be done 100% by phone. Apply at www.startwic.org or text “APPLY” to 91997. • To find a WIC location near you, as well as days and hours of operation, visit: www.phfewic.org/en/home/ Housing Assistance • If you are worried may impact your housing, 2-1-1 can also direct you to tenant protection and foreclosure prevention services, or you can go to www.dcba.lacounty.gov to learn more. Other Assistance • For assistance in other areas, please visit: www.211la.org or call 2-1-1.

Food resources in LA County
Food Resources • We have a network of food pantries in place across the County that includes 940 sites coordinated by the LA Regional Food Bank alone, for people needing assistance. • LA County is increasing funding to the LA Regional Food Bank network to increase the amount of food available to people who show up at one of these sites. The increased supply will be available around October 31st and continue at least through the month of November. But, they have food available now for anyone who needs it. • For food assistance, people can visit their local food pantry or find one near them by visiting www.lafoodbank.org/find-food/pantry-locator/ or calling 2-1-1. • LA County Parks & Recreation has food programs for youth, teens, and seniors. To learn more, visit: www.parks.lacounty.gov/lacounty-parks- food-programs/ • If you are a senior citizen over the age of 60, then you may be eligible for a free meal at your local senior center. For more information, call 1 (800) 510-2020. • You may have heard that the National Guard is being deployed to local food pantries. They will not be there in any type of law enforcement capacity. They are being deployed as volunteers to make sure there are enough staff on hand to provide food to people quickly and efficiently. They were similarly deployed during COVID as volunteers to help with food distribution.

Passing along this info/resource list from the County. It is accurate up-to-date as of 10/27/25. Links can be copy/pasted from the alt-text. Please share widely!
Government Shutdown Talking Points/Resource List Benefits Impact • CalWORKs, General Relief, Medi-Cal, and IHSS are operating as normal and are not impacted by the federal government shutdown at this time. • Due to the federal government shutdown, CalFresh benefits will be delayed for the month of November. • CalFresh recipients will receive notification from the State, beginning October 24th, informing them that November benefits will be delayed. • CalFresh recipients should understand that receiving such a notice does not mean that their case is terminated or that they are no longer eligible for benefits. • It is important to encourage CalFresh recipients to continue complying with all reporting requirements to ensure their benefits are issued promptly once they become available.

No matter what happens tonight, it’s all been worth it. This Lynx team has brought me so much joy (and so much queer joy!), nothing can erase that. Thank you to the longtime Lynx fans who have welcomed me as one of their own. Let’s ride.

This is what Brunson got fined for. She’s absolutely right, the refs had no control over that game. League is soft as hell.

Is her entire thing now just trying to get clicks off of actual reporting someone else has done?
Yet another Annie Costabile Front Office Sports article restating something Julia Poe already reported about Angel Reese. Click desperation.

Despite not having the Fever or CC listed in the teams/topics I’m following, the only WNBA news alerts I get from Apple News Sports look like this & it’s beyond irritating.
