Not an LA County Supervisor @city_of_sortzAxon surveillance is coming to LA. The vote to veto the Axon contract needed 10 yes votes to pass. Only 9 voted yes. @MRodCD7 said she would support the veto but seemed to change her mind after Eunisses called her out for her bad faith attacks.
20 Years Ago Sports @20YearsAgoSportStump The Schwab will not be renewed for another season by ESPN after finishing up its 4th season less a month ago. The show had 80 episodes in total staring Howie Schwab and host Stuart Scott.
Popstonox @PopstonoxThe DSA National Political Committee has voted to unendorse and expel Nithya Raman She has until October 31 to express clear direct support for BDS to retain endorsement, and until January 1 to condemn weapon shipments for Israel out of LAX to remain a member of DSA Both resolutions are linked below
Geese Magazine🪿 @geesemagazineDSA’s vote to expel Nithya Raman or punish the LA chapter is an existential threat to the Left of Los Angeles. By analyzing the balance of forces and allegations against Raman, Matthew J. Hunter (@MattHunterMCR) and P.K. Gandakin (@pkgandakin) argue against this dangerous move to undermine the working class movement in LA. This internal repression must be rejected if we want mass revolutionary politics. READ:
Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlecI have just published a piece that is very important to me. It's about why so many "progressives" and people on "the left" are lying to us right now about crime, safety, and repression, and what we should be doing instead.
Camila Lourdes Galarza @sovietwithsazonDespite how happy I am for Brazil, the hypocrisy of the international applause is hard to ignore. The same actors cheering Lula’s 4th term called Chávez a dictator for it and vilified PSUV for “human rights abuses” while turning a blind eye to Lula’s troops committing rape and war crimes in Haiti. Lula is afforded their sympathy because he maintained neoliberal economics, played nice with Noboa and Jolani, blocked Venezuela from BRICS, and aligned with U.S. intervention abroad. This election result is, without a doubt, a victory for the sovereignty of Latin America against egregious election interference. But not all those applauding are cheering for our sovereignty. And, as yet another Latin American country joins U.S. mercenaries in Haiti, it’s pretty gross that certain ‘human rights activists’ (especially the Latin American pachamama libs) ignore the stain on humanity that was MINUSTAH simply because it was in service of the U.S. interests.

Spectrum News 1 SoCal @SpecNews1SoCalCouncilmember 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.
