BREAKING: young Angelenos who fled wildfires are occupying the Phillips 66 facility demanding oil & gas companies pay to rebuild LA. These companies make climate change worse while raking in TRILLIONS of $$ each year. They profit while we lose our homes. That must end.

This is a key defining attribute of the far right globally (Johnson absolutely is that). They loathe historians, actual history, archives, libraries and books, but they value the immense rhetorical power that history can possess for the public, so they pervert history, lie and obfuscate

I am enraged at the rewriting of the history of Jan. 6, 2021. It was a savage, unforgivable attack on democracy & the lives of specific police officers, who did their duty with courage & personal sacrifice. To soothe one weak ego the entire GOP repeats a lie. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

For all of his dystopian rhetoric, by many traditional metrics, the America that Trump will inherit from Biden is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since Bush came into office in 2001. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/u...

I'm not asking full-time motorists to bike. I'm demanding cities equitably use tax dollars to build high-quality mobility options for those who can't or don't want to drive. If people ditch their cars later, great, but this is about giving real choices, not mandates.

Vaccines are why 1 of every 4 of us didn't die in infancy. Fluoride is why most of us keep our teeth into old age. The ACA is why 21 million of us can see a doctor. The FDIC is why we don't lose our life savings. And a handful of GOP billionaires want to take it all away.

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.

I’m mulling what it means to have these kinds of South African raised men weighing in so heavily on the elections.

Remember: Elon Musk was raised as a South Africa colonialist steeped in Apartheid. Never had an American civics class. Never learned the principles and practices of American democracy.

There are only two types of Republicans in Congress: Proud MAGA and scared MAGA. House GOP= 90% proud MAGA, 10% scared MAGA. Senate GOP= 90% scared MAGA, 10% proud MAGA. All MAGA still the same - which is why Trump knows the GOP Senate will confirm whoever he sends.

This is really sticking it to the elites. Cut programs for middle- and low-income Americans to finance tax cuts for the wealthy. Good work, Trump voters! You're showing the powers-that-be who's boss around here.

We appreciate Councilmember Hahn acknowledging yesterday’s tragic pedestrian fatality on Rose Street. However, she has not shown a commitment to safe streets. She was the ONLY councilmember that did not support Measure FF, which is designed to help prevent such collisions. 🧵
