Idk which part of this tweet is the biggest red flag but the nominees are:

- Hatred of a wonderful part of the city that is full of history and life and culture
- Misunderstanding of the film (500) Days of Summer
- “indeterminate ethnic origin”

[Chris @chriswithans]

So many outsiders watched “500 Days of Summer,” the movie where Zooey Deschanel repeatedly betrays Joseph Gordon-Levitt while toying with his naive emotions and luring him in with her fake appreciation of the Smiths, and thought that was the Real Downtown Los Angeles.

No. The real DTLA is courthouses and parking lots with angry owners of indeterminate ethnic origin and like one lively street where they sell knockoff branded luxury goods.

That’s it.

If Los Angeles has a downtown (it does not), it’s either Century City or The Grove courtesy of Rick Caruso.

[Cassy Horton @Cassy_Horton]

It’s fascinating to me how little people even in LA get and appreciate about DTLA. Yes we have work to do, and it’s a shame what the city has allowed to happen over 5 years, but the concentrated history, architecture, culture, food, and entertainment is absolutely worth saving.

Mamdani is the Democrats’ worst nightmare because he’s living proof that they simply aren’t doing their jobs.

[LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia @lacontroller]

Imagine having the OPPORTUNITY to make LA City Hall work better, more democratic, more responsive, & more transparent and accountable? 🤔

The status-quo bureaucrats & the political establishment are fighting HARD against those Charter Reforms and they are gaslighting all of you.

I mean she locked a mentally handicapped kid in an abandoned trailer and caused a county wide search for him and never told authorities where he was

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.

Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.

We just gave the guy whose fault this is 1 trillion dollars

There is plenty of food late at night, they’re just not on Google Maps

[Johan Clarke @JohanClarke2]

Acting like Danger Dogs or street tacos don’t exist…smh

[gb @im_gayb]

if you ever want food in LA past 10 pm you should actually just kys instead

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

It is a moral failure of our country that we changed the rules to create a trillionaire while doing nothing about the 771,000 homeless and over 18 million who do not have enough to eat.

People have to start gofundmes to pay for cancer treatment

[Carrie Coon @carriecoon]

And to clarify, I wish they were financed! I wish these astonishing filmmakers didn’t have to fight so hard for so long to get money for their dream projects. I attach to movies because they’re good. ✌️

Olivia Rodrigo got to Lizzo’s Pass and chose Pitchfork

Pynchon on fatherhood and bread. Beautiful stuff.

[Rajjath @Rajjath24]

turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.

@lrain0000 GOING HARD MODE OH THIS IS FANTASTIC

[Johan Clarke @JohanClarke2]

Perhaps the most shocking thing I’ve learned in the Lyndon Johnson books so far is that they bought a house in Forest Hills for what today would be $370k. God I wish

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

this city hates trump. the fact that pratt got as many votes as he did is blackpilling enough. it’s very funny that people think bass and the establishment prefers a matchup with nithya raman over temu trump. unlike pratt, she actually has a higher chance of unseating bass.

[Nithya Raman @nithyavraman]

I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles.

To the thousands of supporters who knocked doors, made calls, sent texts, donated, and opened their homes for events across the city, and to everyone else who made this moment possible: thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Now our fight for a healthier, safer, more affordable, and more joyful Los Angeles continues. For too long, City Hall has prioritized giving political advantage to powerful interests that fund elections. Meanwhile, working people pay the price in higher rents, depleted services, and a city that has stopped working for them.

If you’re as frustrated by the broken status quo as I am, I hope you’ll join our movement to build a city that works for everyone.
