LA politics is funny

LA politics is really really funny - like a joke

[Film The Police LA @FilmThePoliceLA]

Socialite drove through a marked crosswalk at 73 mph, killed two brothers (8 & 11) and kept on driving until the engine stopped. Then, she told a Mercedes Benz operator she didn’t know what she hit.

Here is LA Mag with a photo of her looking like a victim.

An unhoused man cried to me today because his family doesn't believe him when he tells them he's trying his best to get housed. They call him lazy.

His phone is full of dozens of calls to agencies that are never returned and dozens of housing wait lists that never call him back.

I’m fucking livid.

Undercover LAPD cops just laid out a guy and two women on the ground in the middle of Cahuenga at GUNPOINT. Cops then took the driver’s girlfriend to station to run her prints, only to release her as “mistaken identity.”

They were driving to Home Depot.

Providing free public transit is one of the most important things @metrolosangels can do. That’s why I have serious concerns about a fare restructuring plan that moves us in the opposite direction.

I see Soledad is back to using sock accounts.

I’ve got so much info on Soledad that I chose not to release. But if she’s gonna continue with this sock bullshit then she deserves to get hammered.

@Pilar4CA thank you for doing outreach yourself Pilar!

[Pilar Schiavo @Pilar4CA]

Voter responses on the phones are sometimes hilarious. Here’s a couple excerpts:

Voter: Is this another call about Pilar Schiavo, because I’ve gotten so many calls!

Me: Well…it IS another Pilar Schiavo call, but this time it’s Pilar Schiavo calling.😬

(She’s a Yes!)

Thousands of these literally littering my street and sidewalk today. Fake dollars bills on one side. Ridiculous, false attacks on the flip side.

This week, let’s show how a positive progressive vision wins over these fear-mongering reactionary campaigns.

And, it's official...

Rick Caruso has now put more than $100 million of his own money into his Los Angeles mayoral campaign.

Per L.A. City Ethics filings, he crossed the threshold Thursday. Here's our story from last week: https://t.co/ESP2ACdH4L

All the nasty west side right wingers have sock accounts.

@tiffanyruns nope

[Tiff Guerra @tiffanyruns]

LAPD is proposing this aquisition for Metro's SWAT. This experimental technology would be used primarily in Black, brown, and poor neighborhoods as that is whom is most persistently, frequently, and intentionally targeted by SWAT.
