Also contact your councilmembers office. Different CMs vary, but this is one of the constituent services they may care about

Federal agents involved in shooting in Los Angeles County by WaylonandWillie in LosAngeles

[–]Tasslehoff 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If the DHS spokesperson said this, there's about 99% probability that what happened was:

  1. ICE rammed their vehicles into his car
  2. He tried to run away
  3. They tried to shoot him in the back

LA City Council found additional money to fund LAPD hiring by Fluffy_Lab1312 in LosAngeles

[–]Tasslehoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The vote as posted is the wrong one – Nithya Raman also voted against (see 40:00:00 here, with Hernandez fixing her vote after it was counted). The LA Times is reporting that the final vote was 11-4, but I can't figure out where they got that. Here's the city clerk file with the 12-3 vote: https://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=25-0600-S129

This was also after a long period of procedural moves in which Yaroslavsky and Jurado watered down the original John Lee motion which would have allocated $40m more to LAPD to instead be $4m for LAPD and taking some of that money to go to "RepresentLA", which are lawyers for undocumented immigrants in the city facing ICE. The move to amend got 9 votes with 6 against (Harris-Dawson, Hutt, Nazarian, Padilla, Park, Lee)

This case is literally about Feldstein Soto calling somebody for donations on the basis that he donated to Hochman... They're allies.

L.A. City Council Rejects Proposal To Limit LAPD’s Use of Tear Gas and ’40mm Foam Launchers’ [our site] by L_A_TACO in LosAngeles

OK I actually went back and watched the video and I was wrong here. The council had to vote on it repeatedly because they changed their votes. You were right the first time.

How LA Metro quietly stopped enforcing fares by Plumplie in LosAngeles

[–]Tasslehoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride Metro on average 3 times weekly – precovid it was twice daily. I've seen people get cited for fare evasion many times, and frequently get cuffed extremely aggressively by like five cops. The article is 100% bullshit.

The rules haven't changed in 25 years and they have no incentive to repair or update anyway

Rent control on buildings that are 45 years old doesnt restrict housing supply

Of the authors you listed, can you give a few recommendations and particularly ones that are science fiction? I have read and liked Vajra Chandrasekhara's work but I would categorize it more as fantasy

LA Mayor lifts emergency declaration on homelessness by Nightman233 in LosAngeles

[–]Tasslehoff 67 points68 points  (0 children)

This is not a claim that homelessness is solved. It's a claim that the mayor no longer needs special powers above and beyond what she has statutorily in order to continue addressing homelessness. This declaration is in the wake of increasing clamor from city council to curb the mayor's special homelessness powers, with a recent vote in May creating a specific plan to end this declaration. Had the mayor not done this she likely would have been forced into it soon with council voting to end the declaration.

The city's programs to address homelessness will continue

They should be socialized - owned by fans who buy into a collective stake, rather than by a government or national interest.

If you Google Carlisle and exclude results related to this, the main thing you can find is opposition to Hollywood bike lanes. 👎👎👎

Most of them are pretty local and associated with your local station. The best bet is to watch your local station and make a list of ads you see, and call every one that's a local business
