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.

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.
Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.
This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

We have a 6,500 member state police force and 80,000 sworn officers in city/county departments. If any DHS agents feel like spending 3 years in prison, please try this.

Why is Missoula so much more progressive than Los Angeles?

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

This is the best moment in modern human history. In the US, all of our major problems are well within our abilities to solve.
And yet, we are dragging ourselves back into the dark days of the 20th century because we Americans allow the dumbest and most pointless minority to boss us around.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

I get why you want to withhold your vote. It feels like consent, like settling means accepting things you don’t believe in. But voting isn’t a reward system. It’s a defense mechanism. You can’t pressure a system that’s being dismantled. Wait for perfect, and you may lose the right to choose at all.
