The next time I'm called for jury duty, I'm going to say that I should be disqualified because I believe the entire process has been so compromised that it's impossible to make a fair verdict.
That's the truth, and I really wish it weren't.
The TV ads for California Prop 39 say that mail-in ballots are good.
Mail-in ballots are the Problem. They guarantee voter ID fraud. This proposition does the opposite of what it promises.
There's plenty of corruption to go around, but misconduct by social workers gets me the most angry. They are supposed to be on the lookout for people in jeopardy. Instead, they cheerfully cash their paychecks and stay silent about their vile, feckless supervisors.
Memo to rank-and-file police officers: get opposing opinions from outside lawyers.
The union lawyers are not on your side. Following their advice will get you into deep trouble. And city attorneys just regurgitate what their supervisors tell them, regardless of the law.
Legislative bodies are required to have public meetings. The LA Police commission is barely a legislative body, with trivial agenda items. It does conduct secret trials, which don't don't seem much like legislative items. Yet the DA does not have public meetings despite being 🧵
far more important than any police department. In fact it does have its own large Investigation Bureau, with sworn officers, and presumably its own secret trials.
This secrecy needs to stop. The Governor needs to have the National Guard investigate extreme misconduct.
Nithya's problem: she's convinced desperate people that she'll make housing affordable, whereas YIMBYs only goal is to enrich speculators to the detriment of homeowners. She could prove her DSA cred by mandating quality, affordable housing in the Antelope Valley & Riverside.
In this January piece, @PaigeCurrent calls one of the "agitators" an "unhinged LAPD critic" and mocks him for complaining about how 'independent journalists' (her scare quotes) are treated during city meetings.
Since you're apparently a REAL journalist,

Here I unfavorably compare members of the Los Angeles City Council to Jeffrey Epstein. (55:40)

Monica Rodriguez gave a eulogy for her mother at the end of today's Los Angeles City Council meeting. It was heartbreaking.

Glass Telescope Model
Before they built the great Hale Telescope of Mt. Palomar, they made a glass model. And a winged pin became known too at the same time. 1937
Some public officials may be narcicists. Others may be codependent.
My hope is to convince the non-malignant ones that by failing to stop extreme misconduct, they are doing a very bad thing. Maybe (and this is a huge maybe) there was some reason in the past not to pursue 🧵

Deputy City Attorney Strefan Fauble is allowing people to speak on Item #5, which is not agendized for comment today PLUS a minute for general public comment.
A total Brown Act violation.
And he's allowing people to speak longer than a minute on general public comment IF they are in favor of renaming Pershing Square.
