L.A these days seems to undermine all of its best things.

Karen Bass’s police Chief sent an honor guard (on duty cops) and a helicopter to honor Daryl Gates. You paid for it. The police union held the Daryl Gates event. Bass needs to reject the union’s endorsement & demand the $5.6M the union is spending to reelect Bass be returned.

Councilmember Nithya Raman's comment at a debate on ex-LAPD Chief Daryl Gates being the "gold standard" in terms of not working with ICE is "beyond offensive" to Black and Latino residents, Mayor Karen Bass told Spectrum News. Raman has accused Bass of twisting her words.

We’re back with our second story about how Trump’s purge of the FBI killed a sweeping bribery probe in D.C. This time, we take you to South Carolina, where two powerful politicians escaped scrutiny: Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn. THREAD 👇

RIP to Richard Riehle, who had more than FOUR HUNDRED credits, including the stressed out liaison in “Office Space” and the prison guard who spun a “bullshit story” in “The Fugitive.” 🙏🏻

Most people don’t know, but he was an incredible stage actor. Truly.

In the last few months: The Orioles owner said he bought the team because all of his friends who had sports teams made more than he ever could in private equity The Padres sold for $3.9B, 63% more than the previous record The Angels then sold for $4.0B, beating the Padres record So why then are billionaires lighting money on fire by bailing out other billionaires from the apparent financial ruin of owning a baseball team? It's because they're all making billions in appreciation and teams like the Yankees can sell just 16% for $2.6 BILLION (MLB of course waived the 15% cap lol) with an additional $1B in tax-exempt revenue bonds to refinance debt in their other business ventures Seriously, who would pass up on an infinite money glitch like that? I'm begging you all to realize owners just want a cap to make accounting easier. They're lying about competitive balance to create a narrative that is only in place to win them cost certainty

The “organizer” to politician pipeline has been devastating for demands based movements.
Shabazz@ShabazzArtsOct 19
Karen Bass is the final product of the 501(c)3 pipeline. The corporatization of the community organizer into a civil servant long past their time, clinging onto a system they entered the arena on the opposite side of; no longer fighting for the people but instead their job.

Bass is too opportunistic and too cynical to give a shit about Daryl Gates. Raman is too new to L.A and too vacuous to give a shit about Daryl Gates.

The LAPD police union honors Daryl Gates with an annual golf tournament. Why isn’t Karen Bass demanding the union return the $3.5M they donated to her reelection effort?
