Spencer Pratt has created a phone app that will be used for accountability of public officials if he’s elected Mayor of Los Angeles
Here’s how it works
- Residents will be able to report things like piles of trash
- They can upload a video, the location is geotagged
- An email will be sent out to all the public officials for the problem
- The app will keep track of their record of addressing the problems
- A ranking system will be made showing how successful each public official is in each area
If they did fix issues they’ll have a high score, if they ignore issues they’ll have a failing score
Then voters can easily see which public officials should be voted for and who needs to be voted out
This is the statement from Sheridan Gorman's family.
It should be met with resignations by JB Pritzker, Brandon Johnson, and Kwame Raoul.
I've added some emphasis where I thought it was appropriate:
We are again faced with the unbearable truth: our daughter’s life was taken, and our family will never be the same.
Sheridan was the heart of our family. She had a rare ability to bring people together — to make others feel included, understood, and loved. She lived with intention, with faith, and with a kindness that defined who she was every single day. She was just beginning her journey, with so much ahead of her.
She was doing something entirely normal — walking with friends, close to home, in an area where she had every reason to feel safe. There was nothing unusual about her being there. There was nothing that should have placed her in harm’s way.
This was not inevitable. This was a choice. And our daughter paid the price for it.
We want to be clear: Sheridan did nothing wrong. She lived her life the way any young person should be able to live it — freely, safely, and without fear. That was taken from her. And it was taken from us.
Our daughter’s life was not expendable. She should still be here.
We recognize that the arraignment represents a formal step in the justice process, and we appreciate the work of law enforcement in bringing the case to this point. But for our family, this is not about a process — it is about accountability, and it is about ensuring that Sheridan’s life is not reduced to just another case moving through the system.
This cannot become just another story that fades with time.
Sheridan’s life had meaning. Her presence changed people. And her absence is something we will live with forever. We intend to make sure that her name, her story, and the impact of her life endure beyond this moment.
There will come a time when we speak more fully about how Sheridan’s life can continue to matter in the world. For now, our focus remains on honoring her, supporting one another, and seeing this process through.
@Bubblebathgirl Human nature is so funny.
We prop up horrible people, parade them like they are a god, anyone who speaks against them is shunned into silence, and then we pat ourselves on the back 30 years later when it's ok to talk about how they were a serial r*pist.
I have a friend with adhd who was like “i’m bad at texting, i’ll get back to you randomly” & I like being her friend so, that’s that.
if I rly rly rly need her, she shows up right away. it’s a very simple system imo
Literally wasn’t allowed in my high school group chat because I had an android. Got an I phone for my 17th birthday and was immediately added in… it was exciting at first, but now I realize how ridiculous it is to create separation by blue/green messages… can’t even imagine how much separation it’s caused over the years
@mattvanswol@eoghan I think a mural showing all the victims of the last year would be a good way to go at it. Praying (or sending love if prayers aren’t wanted) all of their way. Not trying to cause separation, just saying I believe the power in showing everyone would do more for the movement.
