An appeals court reaffirmed that Huntington Beach officials are violating state housing law and must create a new plan for affordable homes.
Instead of wasting tax dollars on unlawful NIMBY policies, Huntington Beach should use these funds to help build more homes in the city.

Trump’s militarization of Los Angeles seems to have been just the start of an authoritarian takeover of American cities.
This is not leadership. This is a scary, unlawful grab for power, and we should all be deeply concerned.

hey karen, a hearty *fuck you* for pretending that there are any bad actors besides YOUR police who opened fire on a peaceful crowd this afternoon, maiming many of your citizens
30,000 people showed up across our city to exercise their constitutional right to peaceful protest today — that's powerful.
A curfew is in effect in Downtown Los Angeles to stop bad actors who do not care about immigrants rights.
Get home safe, LA.

"The difference between what is said, and what is known to be true, has become an abyss."
The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Bass is just fully committing to the fascist side here. Not even pretending to protect her city. I had low expectations but holy fuck come on.
I issued a curfew starting at 8pm for Downtown Los Angeles to stop bad actors who are taking advantage of the President's chaotic escalation.
If you do not live or work in Downtown L.A., avoid the area.
Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew, and you will be prosecuted.

![the "stop doing math" meme except it says "STOP DRIVING CARS". the meme reads:
* PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED IN CAGES
* YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for building ONE MORE LANE
* Wanted to travel large distances anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "TRAINS"
* "Yes please give me NO GREENERY. Please give me INFINITE PAVEMENT" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

How SUVs Are Making Traffic Worse
As larger, taller sport utility vehicles took over US roads, they also aggravated highway congestion, according to a new study. It’s yet another ill effect of “car bloat.”

I guess I'm too woke because I find the proliferation of this really off-putting and gross. The fact that it's now reached the "enlightened centrists" class is depressing.
