Shout out @metrolosangeles.bsky.social for the quick switch on the Expo train after someone hit a utility pole. Only had to wait five minutes for a replacement train. π«‘
SlΓ inte!

You don't need to own property to have a say in the future of a community. That's why we're recruiting renters to lead. newrepublic.com/article/2076...
Traci Park is a villain to affordable housing in LA!
I love the Metro bus! (I actually have a tattoo of one π).
I appreciate your advocacy!!
Being able to safely bike in LA will be life changing for everyone! π
It is! I rode my bike all of the time in Chicago and Saint Louis. I rarely do here in LA after I was hit a couple of times. Nothing serious but still jarring.
Every time I think about riding mi bike, I think about this and have been chickening out more times than Iβd like to admit.

Guess whoβs gonna hear from me today!
I'm seriously so fucking sick of people using the e-bikers are lazy trope. And even if you *are* able-bodied and use an e-bike, who the fuck cares? Getting somewhere faster and not all sweaty is fantastic.
How an electric bike can protect your money as another oil shock hits.
The argument for fossil fuels is ending, but so too is the argument for relying on cars for journeys of under five miles.
Here's some numbers to convince:

This man didnβt look at my page I guess. π€·π»ββοΈ Just a lil ole DSA member getting people to vote, contact their reps, show up to councils, and participate in their communities.
LMAO. BRO. I LITERALLY WORK ON CAMPAIGNS AND TALK TO VOTERS EVERY DAY. STFU. I literally studied people for all three of my degrees. Take several seats.
Once again thinking about the logistics of going to the Mall of America, a Cubs game, a parade, and The Art Institute in one day.
Most Americans donβt vote because the system works against us and most are focusing on surviving and also to mention the huge propaganda machine.
We donβt need talkers right now. We need fighters.
And no matter how many times they knock me down, Iβll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.
On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.
Just another day/reminder of how βthe richest and most powerful nation in the worldβ cannot do mass transit.
We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.
Yes, I did make spreadsheet of Cubs games that I have greater chance of seeing at the local Cubs bar in Los Angeles. π«‘π€
The elected officials in the City of Los Angeles never fail to disappoint. The lengths they'll go to stop denser and more affordable housing near transit is beyond me. If you build transit, you need to build dense housing around it.

A new Better Neighbors report says if LA started actually enforcing its short-term rentals, the city would rake in $40 to $50 million each month β "more than any measure the city is currently proposing for the ballot to raise revenue."

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?
If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.
Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
