I think that candidates like Zohran being able to use social media to communicate with voters is good, but it scares me that Meta can unilaterally influence our politics so easily.

Slightly terrifying that one private company’s decision to stop suppressing political content is directly responsible for candidates like Zohran and Deja Foxx being successful.

Just got this email directly from the Social Security administration “applauding” the Trump’s Death Bill.

These are dangerous levels of partisan state-sponsored propaganda.

So excited that this bill I helped passed as a part of the @studenthomesco.bsky.social is coming into effect tomorrow!

Mamdani won the NYC mayoral primary and California is passing real reforms to allow more housing.

If Mamdani can beat the NYC political machine, Kenneth Mejia @controller.lacity.gov can be LA's next mayor.

admittedly had to look this up but now i’m informed i would love a gundam

Thank your State Senator for voting YES on SB 79! SB 79 will make it faster and easier to build multi-family housing near transit stops, like train and rapid bus lines, by making it legal for more homes to be built in these areas and streamlining exi...

For those of you who live in a district with a pro-housing Senator, make sure to use the link below to thank them for supporting more homes!

He’s termed out this cycle! So it’s an open race and @johnericksonwh.bsky.social is the one who should fill it!

Here’s the direct link to the map! To be completely honest I’m not sure if this helps with color-blindness, but maybe if you invert you screen colors when looking at it thatll help?

Otherwise feel free to make a copy of the map and change the colors of the districts

Sen. Henry Stern, pictured below, wants you to know he's dedicated to finding solutions to California's worst-in-the-nation housing crisis - except for all the solutions he's voted against

Check out how your representative voted here, and some pro-housing candidates running in LA for open seats this year!

100%. But it cannot be understated that what we are fighting for is an AB 609 with every single housing bill. When it looks like these things eek by, we don’t get the political power needed to take big effective swings.

And we’re not on bsky, but you should check out YIMBY Los Angeles! We’ve been doing a lot of electoral organizing and are fresh on the scene to make this change happen

I was actually inspired to do this analysis based on the fact you told me about this phenomenon!

IMO it’s not about environment, groups in the Bay have done better at organizing and being an electoral force. LA tried a left-approach to get prog orgs into housing (which i would prefer), versus the Bay aligned themselves with mods. and sadly it’s clear the latter is a more effective coalition

100%. IMO huge reason for SF’s success and why we need to elect a comparable champion in LA.

Once again, my former State Sen. Henry Stern voted against housing—this time on #SB79. Reminds me of a letter I wrote as a high school junior over 5 years ago after his no on #SB50, the original housing near transit bill.

Sadly, it’s just as relevant today.

Shame on Stern.

To win the YIMBY and Abundance movement, the work needs to be done in LA.

That starts by electing Sara Hernandez in SD 26 and @johnericksonwh.bsky.social in SD 24 in these crucial districts next year.

Also of note, rural reps in the Central Valley and elsewhere, where its provisions hardly applied, overwhelmingly voted for the bill.

Urban reps fought against their future constituents.

Look at the difference between NorCal and SoCal.

In the Bay, out of the 11 Senators repping urban areas, 8 voted yes.

In LA County, out of 13 Senators only 4 voted yes.

The LA delegation is killing housing bills.

Fascinating to see the stark rural/urban and north/south divide on #SB79, the biggest housing bill of the year.

Let’s dive into the details, and see how your State Senator voted. 👇

Because he’s always voted no and is a huge fucking disappointment of a representative. He was one of the key votes that killed SB 50 in 2019, which would’ve done SB 79 and more.

At the exact same time @benallenca.bsky.social refused to take a stand and vote for #SB79, the biggest housing bill of the year, I was proud to host a meet & greet tonight with YIMBY @johnericksonwh.bsky.social, who's running to replace him.

Let's flip SD24 to a housing champion. Join us: yimby.la

Design standards like these do nothing but needlessly drive up the cost of living. A thousand cuts to affordability have displaced so many millions of people from California. NIMBY design standards should end and Oakland, of all places, should be at the forefront of ending them, not worsening them.

Thank you reddit. People heard it literally all over Southern California.
