Budgeting for Harm: Will California Roll Back Rights for Survivors? - Knock LA
California school administrators and politicians are trying to make it more difficult for survivors of sexual abuse to seek justice.
knock-la.com
My senator (Ben Allen) authored a bill over that would have severely curtailed the rights of CSA survivors under AB218. Last week, he pulled SB 832—for now.
I wrote about my experience with AB 218 & why it’s important for @knockdotla.bsky.social
Please read (but ofc, TW: CSA!)

This op-ed glosses over 2020 and the Gaza protests too quickly. You can't understand why so many young people aren't in the streets without a deep dive into both.

….who asked for the National Special Security Event designation a record 4.5 years early?
You’ve ensured our community will be subjected to the feds for at least the next 3 years.

It’s been 5 months since the ICE raids started, and even though they’re no longer dominating the headlines, they continue.

NYT asks, what's more important, that teens survive into adulthood and become able to live self-sufficient lives? Or that at their most confused and vulnerable, they remain DTF with predatory older men?

I challenge our city to allocate resources appropriately & demonstrate courage to create permanent open streets!
We don’t need “CicLAvia brought to you by Netflix sponsored by Chipotle in partnership with Honda” our city has the money we just have no spine!

Angelenos, what did you think about today’s Netflix-sponsored Stranger Things CicLAvia? Would you be okay with more branded activations if it meant we’d have more open streets events? Share your photos!

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Google Search sucks now because Google wanted to boost ad revenue so now it's absolutely worthless as a search engine. All the big tech companies are shoving A.I down our throats, even turning features on by default. It wasn't a stretch to think Google was using our emails to train their A.I models

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.
Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

Refuse to forget that LA28 Olympics Chair Casey Wasserman was among the very first to clap when Trump went on an asinine anti-trans rant. There's a pattern of craven sycophancy here.

The “quiet, piggy” comment is bad because it’s misogynistic, not because trump is larger than a size 0. Please stop posting pics of him in his all white golf attire to prove a point!

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either
