The Westside Current manages to write a story about Kevin de Leon without mentioning the racist tapes. That tracks, given the Current's ass-licking support of a Traci Park, who literally defended use of the "n word" in the workplace.
Did you see this shit, @marvistavoice?
voters in Council District 14 face a crucial election, the experience of their neighbors in Council District 11 under former Councilmember Mike Bonin stands as a compelling cautionary tale. During Bonin’s tenure, District 11 grappled with rising crime, unchecked homelessness, and a sharp decline in public safety.

@mikehtrujillo Have you listened to the recording? He was pretending to be someone else, engaged in an act of political rat-fucking, while the taxpayers were paying his salary.
Are you suggesting that was somehow an official city duty?
Big shoutout to Councilwoman Traci Park for this awesome selfie at LAX with Council President @PaulKrekorian (CD2) & @cd5losangeles (CD5). We're proud of our award-winning #LAforAll campaign. Snap a selfie & tag us if you spot our signs in any of the 21 languages across LA! 📸🌟
LA's own Breitbart is so pathetic. They claim Traci Park reduced homelessness by 38%. That stat is from the Jan 2022 homeless count -- 11 months before she took office. I guess they'll do anything to distract from the news that Park lied about housing people she displaced.
Raman boasts 7% progress amidst LA's worsening homelessness crisis and skyrocketing city spending. It's like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound. Residents demand real solutions, not token gestures. #LaHomelessness

I can still hear Nury’s poisonous slurs and cruel laugh, and Kevin’s conspiratorial whisper and malicious tone.
A year later, I'm still angry and disgusted.
I share on Substack what I heard and felt, and what was missing from discussion of the scandal:

It is certainly an extremely ugly and cynical choice - though consistent with the paper's previous coverage of the LA Fed tapes, downplaying the racism at every turn - for the LA Times to basically be taking campaign photos for Councilmember Kevin de León:
Looks like @BLMLA gave Kevin de Leon a wake up call this morning 👀
A year removed from the racist audio leak + KDL still needs a reminder that Los Angeles hasn’t forgotten about his anti-Blackness + anti-Indigeneity. His time on the council needs to come to an end and it will!
@Justin_G0rd0n And yet we still have zero parking enforcement in Venice
This RV pulled up this week, less than 500 feet from Westminster Elementary School
@SoledadUrsua@Giordan79293243@mikebonin@TraciParkforLA Me too, tons of RV's now on Venice Blvd, more than before, tents up in so many places. When they leave one tent dweller for weeks, more come...they don't seem to understand how to solve the bigger issue.
