The Lineage Fire in Boyle Heights has cost LA taxpayers so far $3 Million. This is JUST for LAFD costs from June 17-21.

According to Lineage to CBS, Lineage is a tenant of the building owned by Chill Build LLC & the solar array on the building is ultimately owned by Altus Power.

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.

Democrats know exactly what their voters want. They have the data. The problem is what their voters want, goes directly against with their donors/owners want. So they’re spending millions of dollars on consultants to figure out how to lie to you better.

[LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia @lacontroller]

The City of LA is SPENDING money (during a budget crisis) to STOP Venice Dell - an affordable housing project that the public wants, the City desperately needs, & that 👏 WAS 👏 ALREADY 👏 APPROVED 👏 by the City & the State.

(Even a federal Judge spoke up about it 👨‍⚖️)

Karen Bass argued in court that the @lacontroller can NOT audit her homeless programs. This is OUTRAGEOUS.

Karen Bass is attempting to hide her corruption.

Stunning interview with DHS deputy secretary Troy Edgar and Michel Martin just now. The conflation of protest and terrorism stopped me cold.

Biden is a genuinely bad person and I actually don’t think that about many people

Liberals hate socialists for the same reason socialists hate liberals: because socialists are the thing liberals pretend to be. Socialists stand for truth, justice, peace and equality while liberals only pretend to stand for these things, and they both know it. Liberals know their favorite political party supports war, militarism, oligarchy and inequality and is rife with power-serving corruption, and socialists know it too, so they can critique these dynamics in ways that have the unpleasant sting of truth.

Liberals don't mind it when some dopey right winger criticizes their ideological faction, because the rightist has no idea what they're looking at and offers up the dumbest and least relevant criticisms imaginable. When a socialist critiques that same faction they do it in ways the liberal knows are true, and it causes the liberal to experience cognitive dissonance. If you love AOC it's not going to bother you when a rightist calls her a woke commie terrorist lover, but someone to the left of you pointing out the various ways she serves the ugliest aspects of the US empire will grate against some of your most deeply treasured belief systems.

Most liberals secretly hate socialists more than they hate rightists, because while rightists attack their political agendas, socialists attack their egos. They expose core identity structures for the sham that they are. Cognitive dissonance is uncomfortable, and nobody enjoys feeling like they've been exposed as a phony.

That's what liberal left-punching is really about. It's not about "political pragmatism" or any of that nonsense. It's petty, vindictive egotistic meltdowns dressed up in reasonable-sounding words. It's never anything nobler than that.

Al Jazeera anchor: “In response to your protest, the NFL says you’ll now be banned for life. Would you still have done it if you knew the risks?”

Super Bowl protester Zul-Qarnain Nantambu: “The risk of a ban? I was afraid I’d get sniped by a Secret Service bullet. I can watch a football game on television if I choose to, sir.”

I see a lot of White folks referring to Trump's plan to colonize Palestine as some sort of gotcha moment. They think we as Palestinians are gonna regret opposing Harris for slaughtering 100,000s of our kin. They're only displaying their depravity and hypocrisy.

The mass deportation of illegal immigrants is a racist purge of the Latino and Black communities. Notice no raids of the Russian community in Brighton Beach or the Irish community of Boston, where known undocumented immigrants regularly live. No European immigrant communities raided

That time a shirtless, mud-spattered David Lynch emerged from a dirt hut in his backyard with a nude model and talked about his experimental garage rock album about the Valley to French TV.

I miss him.

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

Some needed a Yougov poll to tell them this. 30% of voters top reason for not voting was was due to Kamala and party supporting genocide, another 11% due to her rightwing immigration stance.

I didn't want to but I had to. Thank you to our Los Angeles Fire Department and to Chief Crowley.

There is no need to wait for the great revolution to begin fighting against our rulers. There is no need to wait for things to get better to experience this world as paradise. The time for both of these things is now.

Right at this very moment you can begin a daily practice of sowing the seeds of revolution. You as an individual cannot defeat the empire yourself, but it is absolutely within your power to open a few people’s eyes to the reality that the status quo is unacceptable, and that a better world is possible. It is absolutely within your power to show people how they’ve been lied to their whole lives about their country, their society and their world, and to show people how they are currently being deceived about stories that are in the news today.

You have an ability to share ideas and information which revolutionaries of past generations could only dream of. You can make a daily practice of using these unprecedented abilities to expand awareness of what’s wrong with our society and how to fix it, in your own words exactly as you see things. There is no need to wait for the deus ex machina ending of Marxian prophecy where the contradictions inherent in capitalism give rise to revolution. You as an individual can begin planting the seeds of revolution right now.

And right at this very moment you can begin experiencing this world as paradise. Even in the thick of this nightmarish dystopia, this moment right here and now is electrifyingly beautiful. You can learn to look at this human experience with new eyes, hear it with new ears, feel it with new flesh, in each and every moment. As fucked up as we know things are intellectually, there is nothing stopping us from learning to relish each moment of life on this amazing blue planet and to suck in its air like a passionate lover.

So there’s nothing to wait for. Not revolution, and not the beautiful world we want to build once we have wrested control away from our abusive rulers. Both revolution and beauty are available to you right now. Don’t waste another second of your life waiting for them.

You’re not at the bus stop, you’re on the bus. Get to work, angel.
