5/ And it’s not just about the content you enjoy, it’s about truth. There’s four major news archives in the US – CBS, CNN, ABC, NBC. Documentarian Marjan Safinia explains the impacts: “So this would effectively fold two of the four archives, which documentarians and journalists and historians rely on to tell the accurate version of history… under editorial control.”

After we endured an incredibly toxic mayoral race that could’ve been prevented with Ranked Choice Voting, are we really about to let LA City Council pass on implementing RCV?
The Charter Reform process shows that City Hall has nothing but contempt for LA voters. No ranked choice voting No council expansion but hey, at least the CAO gets to be named the CFO!! WHO IS THIS FOR??

Yesterday LA city council voted NO to expanding city council, against the will of Angelinos. Expanding city council would mean that angelinos would have better representation in city council and city council would have less power. LA even invested resources to have a civic panel made up of 100 angelinos to decide on expanding city council and we said YES. I was a part of it. They voted to defer this to 2028. The number of city council members is arguably more impactful to LA government than the mayor and they are doing this because they don’t want to lose power. I am livid, and if you are an Angelino you should too. These people voted NO to put the expansion of city council on the 2026 ballot. Call them and DEMAND that they put it in this years ballot.

Unacceptable! Send this one-click email to remind the Rules Committee that expanding LA’s City Council has been in conversation for YEARS. We don’t need more study — let voters decide!! ⬇️ tinyurl.com/SaveExpansion

What. A. Joke.

🚨Bring your donations this SUNDAY 12-2pm! LA politicians order dozens of encampments swept every day, and people lose everything during them. Men’s XL & XXL are top priority. We cannot accept clothes that aren’t freshly washed!

5 shops on York Blvd were bought by an equity firm, denied lease renewals, and are being evicted with a 60-day notice. Only 1 found a new location nearby. With rents possibly hitting $10k, these mom-and-pop shops may soon be a memory on York and HLP.

People telling the art director from Obsession “too bad, that’s what you signed up for” instead of collectively encouraging that once small budget films reach a certain number all cast and crew receive a bonus, is why we’ll never be free.

it’s crazy to take this whole thing as “this guy is being annoying” and not “wow this guy has to work a million times harder to get the same recognition as other directors trying way less to connect with their audiences”. and also then not make the connection as to why that is
Why is Boots Riley up at 2 in the morning on the movie theater employee subreddit begging people to see I Love Boosters

The past 3.5 years flew by, and we've done so much! Our dashboards, maps, and tools have made the City's data and finances more transparent than ever. Looking forward to one last term. Vote for the only CPA for Controller by 8pm Tuesday. *no AI was used in the creation of this*

NOlympics LA is curating a calendar of community events that collectively counterprogram the 2026 FIFA World Cup. These events offer alternatives to dominant narratives and structures, encouraging urgent critiques of the status quo and insisting that another world is possible!

I LOVE BOOSTERS will make a grown woman cry. There's fashion, there's action, there's drama, there's dialectical materialism. The best part about Boots Riley is that you never know where he's gonna take you. See it in theaters as soon as you can.

#ILoveBoosters was so funny and smart and maximalist. The costume design was insane and the story was smart and unexpected in the most Boots Riley way. Go to see this cause it's entertaining and fun and surprisingly emotional!
