Biden tries to forgive student loans SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. Trump revokes part of the constitution SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

The only proof of citizenship is a birth certificate, so we’ll now require the creation of some new scarlet letter on birth certificates? Will doctors need to see proof of citizenship?

There have been many inflection points during the Trump years, but today’s SC ruling may be it: our country has fallen.

Hey @nytimes.com maybe add the word illegal before any use of the word war. Trump is taking is illegally into war. Full stop.

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

Three shots from today’s #nokings match in LA. I left just before the cops decided it needed to end with violence.

Wait, what? They found a dying man and then left the house and waited to set up a drone to investigate? No one just went in to see if she was alive? Am I understanding this?

Man, I will never forgive Newsom for throwing trans kids under the bus, but man this is a good response. Total contempt for the GOP is what is needed by all Dems.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Now is the time for Democrats to ramp up formal opposition. Halt all senate business, formally have your national guards remove ice for your state. Withhold taxes. I don’t know what can be done, but they need to play hardball.

How is it that tear gas has been banned for use against other states’ militaries for a century, but it’s allowed to be used against civilians of a country by their own governments?

LA produces all of your Made In The USA apparel and fabric. LA is the port for most of your goods and produce. LA makes and the USA takes, baby.

A few people have been discussing CA GOP support for SB 79 and expressing surprise they "understand density" better than progressives. However, its just really easy to vote yes on something that does not affect your constituents. It's like voting to raise taxes paid by foreigners who live abroad.

I think the funniest thing I've learned in grad school for urban planning is that this Onion article is actually true and in fact inspired real empirical research to prove it. @bencollins.bsky.social has a real legacy to uphold over there. theonion.com/report-98-pe...

There is a parallel reality out there, where politicians are more daring and US road engineering norms less rigid and car-centric, where a treatment of Manhattan's grid like this wouldn't be not only thinkable but maybe actively explored for its feasibility.

Very perplexed by the “raised” crosswalks along the rail-to-rail path. Lots of signage but you still need to descend down a curb cut to the crosswalk and there is almost an imperceptible incline for drivers.

Joyful day on a bike, including exploring the brand new Slauson Av bike and ped path in South LA.

The City of LA is SPENDING money (during a budget crisis) to STOP Venice Dell - an affordable housing project that the public wants, the City desperately needs, & that 👏 WAS 👏 ALREADY 👏 APPROVED 👏 by the City & the State. (Even a federal Judge spoke up about it 👨‍⚖️)

First time taking a car to school in a while and pretty shocked how much NPR’s coverage sounds like state propaganda. “Trump’s once again taking aim at high drug costs…” woof.

More evidence that car bloat is killing people: New metaanalysis examined 600k+ crashes over 35 years. Conclusion: Cyclists/pedestrians were 44% more likely to be killed if struck by an SUV/pickup than by a smaller car, and children were 82% more likely. injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/earl...

from our research with BlueLA members, this service gave people independence and an essential tool of affordable electric car access to add to their transportation tool belt. Bike share, “mobility hubs” or on demand shuttles are not going to provide the same level of access and this is a huge loss
