As polls begin to close, if you're in line to vote, STAY IN LINE. If you’re in line when polls close, IT IS YOUR RIGHT to vote.

The fact that Google felt comfortable even threatening this is evidence enough that the anti-trust hammer needs to be brought down on them hard. We've let these corporations get away with too much for too long.

Very hopeful for LA and our future - just dropped my ballot off watching a sunset over Stoner Park, 70 degrees on a post rain day, watching ppl skating, eating tacos, playing w/ kids- this city can be the best in the world if we keep building housing, parks, and manage it right!

One thing I'm always struck by the night before an election: no one actually knows what's going to happen. Billions of dollars spent on ads, polls, canvassers, voter data, voter suppression, social media, and no one on the planet can say they know the outcome with 100% certainty.

as a housing guy, just want to say that a Nithya mayoralty would be transformational for helping unhoused people in LA get off the streets and into permanent housing—her plan is cost-effective, compassionate, and proven in her district. really impressive stuff
This is how I reduced tents, encampments, and RVs in my district by 70%.

Getting money out of politics and taxing the hell out of the people on this list should be the priority of everyone who cares about saving democracy. This is insane.

"93% of the houses occupied in 1940 did not exist in 1880" You may think you've seen a lot of housing permitted near you, but it's nothing compared to the pre-zoning golden age
