Some Lula supporters apparently shouted his name out their window when it was announced he won and a cop pointed his gun at him and they took what is possibly the greatest image of a cop ever taken, like genuinely this would go hard as a cover for a Rage album its so poetic.

Ramaswamy’s ad aimed to enforce the stigma against rape victims that positions them as objects of suspicion and disgust at worst, patronizing pity at best. The Acton campaign now has to pitch a rape victim as something audiences aren’t used to imagining them being: competent, capable, and dignified.

I’ll be AirTalk-ing with Larry Mantle today after 9:30 - tune in at 89.3!

this is all petty and shortsighted and dumb please leave us alone

UCLA Health has grown to five hospitals and 300 clinics, with outpatient visits topping 4.2 million last year, as the public university system seeks to reach more Southern Californians. www.latimes.com/business/st...

The E.P.A. knows how serious the cancer risk is from chemical plants that President Trump gave waivers to. There are thousands of pages of agency documents that detail this risk. We read them.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

About 2 million kids have lost SNAP since deep cuts were enacted last year. The ripple effects: Kids losing SNAP also lose automatic enrollment for free meals at school. And as more kids lose SNAP, their schools may be forced to drop Community Eligibility.

LA has spent four years asking: Where is our mayor? When I’m mayor, you won’t have to ask. LA deserves a city that shows up for us. A Los Angeles that loves us back. Let’s go get it.

librarians are amazing but union librarians are even better.. congrats to our colleagues at Tufts! @ucaft.bsky.social

check out the history of the amazing institution where I love to work! @uclairle.bsky.social

ICYMI, LA Taco has parted ways with two of its most fearless ICE reporters, Memo Torres and Izzy Ramirez (@eltragon.bsky.social and @izzymirez.bsky.social on here). Neither says why, but it sounds like it was sudden and involuntary.

we cannot co-exist with people like this. we either find a way to excise them, or we let them choke us with their ignorance.

solidarity to CA state workers of SEIU Local 1000 striking for the first time in decades! Let’s gooooooo!!

Every "report" on the state of higher ed in the last year or so - from Yale to Cornell to Vanderbilt - represents an elite effort to 'understand' why the encampments happened, assign blame to the humanities and critical social sciences, and posit how similar protest can be permanently prevented.

FL is spending more state funding on private school vouchers than on public schools in Miami-Dade—even though public schools serve nearly 4x as many students. Public school students shouldn’t have to make do with less. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4ywQGXw

This is a great summary of the landscape regarding LA's upcoming olympics, the City's ongoing fiscal crisis, & the absolute lack of transparency that exists around the cliff this city may be headed towards. One thing merits focus: Bass is a repeat player in clouding City expenses & performance.

it’s biggest funders are Michael Miliken and Meyer Luskin (also huge UCLA donors) who do not need or deserve public funding to conduct whatever weird experiments they have planned

Yes. This is disgusting. The Trump admin manufacturing the evidence to support their conspiracy theories of widespread non-citizen voting. They arrest a tiny number of people (arrests crafted to draw attention), at least some of whom having no idea of the crime they’ve been accused of.

this is all so petty and embarassing and pathetic.. historians deserve better

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.

$1 million a day. That's how much the billionaires are spending to try and defeat Prop 40. Still think they can't afford to pay their fair share to keep California hospitals open and union healthcare workers on the job? Vote YES on Prop 40 and vote NO on Prop 41 and Prop 42!

We are so lucky to have @controller.lacity.gov protecting our city’s interests!!

Humans need friction. So does the economy. Wrote about Musing Ourselves to Death & what a future where the internet transforms into a place for AI assistants to perfect commerce.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

Good news California! You can now install plug-in solar panels without permission from your utility. Your gas company is also required to offer you thousands of dollars to install electric appliances instead of replacing your gas line. Lots more here: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/newsom-cle...

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
