If you want someone who actually will divest from LAPD, the answer is Rae Huang. Not Nithya.

I made another video about what's going on behind-the-scenes in Minneapolis and how the violence in the streets distracts us from what keeps surviving it possible.

LMAO: “I helped her commit violence against the unhoused of Los Angeles! How could she betray me so?"
In a Democratic club meeting, LA Mayor Karen Bass pronounced herself "flabbergasted" by Nithya Raman's entry into the mayor's race. "I’ve worked closely with Nithya, helped her gain the Democratic endorsement, helped her clear an encampment in her district," she said. "I am going to fight."

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.
