The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot?
Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20Ā° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's change that and finally cool things down for everyone.

LA should cut ties with Flock Safety.
Cities across the country are canceling their Flock contracts over the risks its license plate readers pose to privacy, civil liberties, and immigrant communities.
LAPD is doing the opposite: renegotiating a surveillance network that Angelenos never agreed to.

My proposal to add a voting seat for a transit rider to the Metro board was APPROVED ā
Riders have a critical perspectiveāthey know how our policies affect people who rely on our system everyday. This is a big step toward making Metro more representative of the people we serve.

I had a fun conversation with @bubbathefish about pollution, car dependency, safer streets and so many other issues facing Southern California cities.
What does that have to do with In-N-Out? Read to find out!
Who in their right mind says no to In-N-Out? Culver City, for one. Vice Mayor Bubba Fish explains how residentsā concerns over pollution and traffic led the city to consider banning drive-thrus altogether.

I just voted to strip offensive military aid to Israel from a national security funding package.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly used U.S. assistance to commit gross violations of human rights, prolong conflict, and retain his hold on power. I cannot in good conscience support using our taxpayer dollars to fund Netanyahu's war apparatus.

Drive-throughs are dangerous for pedestrians and other drivers and a huge nuisance to both neighbors and travelers. @santamonicacity already disallows new ones; good on @CulverCityGov for doing the same: laist.com/news/transportatioā¦ @bubbathefish

#BREAKING: Hayes: What is it about the longtime Progressive Dem incumbentās record did you find so intolerable that you decided to primary her?Ā
Melat Kiros: āItās not the Congresswoman herself, itās the campaign finance system that has incentivized members of Congress like Diana DeGette toĀ take millions of dollars from Big Pharma, Big Energy and Oil, defense contractors.Ā At the end of the day the reason why we are not seeing legislation like Medicare for all, universal childcare and an arms embargo on Israel passed despite a supermajority of support from the voters of this party, is because whenĀ corporations and special interest donate to campaigns, itās not that they are going to get an immediate return with legislation that is favorable for them.Ā Sometimes the return that they get is stalling on legislation that would actually make a meaningful difference for families, and so at the end of the day,Ā the only way that we can trust that the Congress membersĀ are actually fighting for that kind of legislation, is to NOT to be taking money from the very corporations and special interests that do not want to see that kind of legislation passingā¦we canāt trust that that kind of donations coming in for congress members is not going to result in some kind of return, and sometimes that return is that we are not actually going to get anything done.ā š

When I look at the recent progressive victories in Colorado and elsewhere, and the successful organizing campaigns sprouting up across the country, I believe we may be on the brink of the political revolution we have been fighting for.

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

Calling a Jewish politician a parasite in the name of stopping antisemitism. Amazing stuff.
āThey are not Democrats; they are socialists, and they are parasites. They cannot win on their own by creating their own party, so they are going to latch onto the Democratic Party and feed off of it, with the overall goal of taking it over and killing it.ā - Melissa DeRosa, democratic strategist

Brad Lander and Micah Lasher are Jewish New Yorkers being sent to congress by Jewish New Yorkers and non-Jewish non-New Yorkers seem to have a real problem with that allegedly on behalf of...Jewish New Yorkers.

The Democratic Party is a vehicle that tens of millions of Americans use to try to improve their country, society, and own lives.
It does not belong to you.
If voters take the keys away from you because they don't like how you're driving the vehicle, that's your fault.
I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please donāt run for our nomination.
Donāt use our resources. Donāt rely on our volunteers. Donāt use our infrastructure. Donāt ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
Focus on building the party you actually support.
Political parties arenāt perfect, but theyāre built by millions of people who knock doors, make calls, organize meetings, and fight for the values they believe in. If you donāt believe in the party, then donāt ask its members to carry you across the finish line.

I donāt know man, who is āthe Democratic Partyā if itās not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

So I'm for @nithyavramanāfor unglamorous reasons!
She's obsessed with the small things (streetlights, sidewalks). She course-corrects when data tells her to, which is exactly what she did on ULA. And she votes for the city's interest, not for whoever's loudest in her ear.
