A paid Bass staffer accusing people of voting based on "ethnic sounding last names" in...Los Angeles?
@KarenBassLA are you going to disavow this?

Major chemical companies knew plastic particles could infiltrate human tissue and remained silent for decades as they accumulated in our bodies, according to a Stanford epidemiologist who reviewed internal industry memos obtained by The Times. Read the full story

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!

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

"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

A reminder that after ED1 started working and actually producing affordable housing, Karen Bass gutted it because it made her rich donors from Sherman Oaks very mad!
The rent is too damn high! That’s why I signed ED1 right when I got into office, to speed up affordable housing.
@HugoForCD13 and I have spent the last four years working tirelessly to make life more affordable for Angelenos, and every day we’re making progress.

I hope folks will think about the fact that @HaleyforMI demanded that @AbdulElSayed denounce as antisemitic an ad he was not associated with, but is now endorsing a man who called Abdul a terrorist. She is fine with bigotry and racism as long as its against the right people.

This is fascism. Trumpian violence has no place in LA.
Please, if you know the victim’s family, DM my office. We want to ensure they have access to County-funded legal representation.
ICE: Get the hell out of LA.

Nithya's takedown of Bass over her (latest) people-mover screwup is 🔥. Just clear, blunt honesty.
It captures why I so much prefer her to Bass.
Bass sees every problem as a political one, to be ducked, deflected, haggled over in private with local power brokers.
Nithya sees them as technical ones to be understood and fixed with clear, accurate action.
I've seen this for years: when she stood by dedicated Affordable Housing project in her district after Bass abandoned it amid pressure from HOAs (even though they were approved under her own initiative!). Nithya pushed them forward, though even the developer was a political opponent of hers, because she knew LA residents needed the homes and we would never solve our housing problems without them.
We will never solve LA's broken systems unless we have leaders with understanding, vision and courage. We all deserve a city that works. I am proud to vote for one.
