@ryan_san @ClaireMPLS I honestly don’t care about his perceived negatives or where he lives. I think his policy ideas are sensible, he’s not a career politician, and he’s sane. Yes, i think he cares about the average Angeleno. You didn’t answer my question about Bass, though.

@OpposingViews @ClaireMPLS And speaking of agendas, it's hard to believe Pratt's is "helping Los Angeles" when he doesn't live in LA, he's stated that if he doesn't win he's leaving, and his campaign isn't even headquartered in LA county. Honest question: do you think he cares about the average Angeleno?

this tweet is for angelenos and angelenos only: we don’t need our own malignant narcissist reality star in charge. & i like rae, but she doesn’t have a chance to make the general. the most important thing is keeping mr m*ga lite off the ballot, so vote nithya in the primary. ty

@ryan_san @ClaireMPLS i do have an honest question for you: do you think Bass is competent? I’ll at least admit that Raman is quite intelligent and i’m sure competent. It’s her agenda I’m afraid of.

@OpposingViews @ClaireMPLS And reality continues not to sway "folks like you" who apparently can't spot an unqualified grifter to save their lives.

@slothanova @ClaireMPLS hopefully they tossed it in recycling 😉

@ClaireMPLS had some very nice college kids come to my apartment complex and collect my ballot before i even had the chance to procrastinate mailing it…i voted for nithya

@ClaireMPLS I live in CD11. Traci Park is my councilwoman, and she’s doing a good job. The DSA candidate running against her sends mailers with Trump’s photo next to hers. That’s the whole playbook. It’s sad.

@ClaireMPLS I’m honestly psyched to see posts like this. Folks like you that still want to vote for the people who have actively ruined our city are getting worried! That’s progress.

@lalovestrump @mateosfo @loganb It’s the laziest thing in the world that so many dems do: brand something as “Trumpist” instead of thoughtfully engaging with ideas.

@mateosfo @loganb “Trumpist” when he literally hasn’t mentioned Trump or any national political issues ever and is only focused on la .. The only people talking about Trump are his opponents since they need a distraction and have zero good policies to run on

Progressives in Los Angeles have a once-in-a-generation opportunity in Nithya Raman, and if DSA-LA ends up throwing the election to Bass or Pratt because Rae Huang can't do math, that would be both tragic and pathetic.

@mateosfo @loganb you do realize that things like “MAGA” and “Trumpist” are just words, right? It’s so telling the way you hand wave disqualify the only common sense candidate of the 3.

@loganb Raman is pro-housing, pro-transit; Huang is a strident NIMBY socialist; Pratt is a MAGA Trumpist; Bass is a traditional LA NIMBY. DSA-LA split between Raman and Huang, even though only Raman can win; but if Huang takes 1-2% of votes from her it throws the race to Pratt/Bass.

@pressfreedom @NickKristof @nytopinion Somehow hung on to my NYT subscription... until now 🖕

“CPJ, a respected American organization, surveyed 59 Palestinian journalists who had been released by Israeli authorities after the Oct. 7 attacks. Three percent said they had been raped, and 29 percent said they had endured other forms of sexual violence.” For @nytopinion, @NickKristof writes about the sexual abuse of Palestinians inside Israeli prisons⤵️ nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

A couple takeaways from the LA mayoral debate tonight: Nithya Raman is not LA’s Zohran Mamdani. No where close. No serious person in LA believes Spencer Pratt should be mayor. Karen Bass hasn’t been perfect, but she’s got a record & results to prove it.

@harrietta_ter @elikowaz Bingo. 🎯

@OpposingViews @elikowaz That is indeed astonishing. Those people just don’t get it, do they? The Palestinians don’t want to acquire knowledge, to develop, to build. Their culture is one of death and destruction. They want to destroy Israel and to kill Jews. And after that Christians. That’s it.

Eyal Waldman hired 20 engineers in Gaza, donated $360K to a Gaza hospital, and spent years building partnerships toward between Israeli and Palestinians. Pro-Palestinian protesters screamed “murderer” at him in Venice this week. His daughter was killed at Nova on October 7.

@SwannMarcus89 Do you even live here? You’re completely wrong about the reason for homelessness in LA.

He had the best debate but he’s a red meat Republican who doesn’t actually understand some of the biggest issues facing the city (he completely misdiagnoses why there are so many homeless) and has no experience in government. It’s hard to pick him over Bass for those reasons despite Bass being one of the worst mayors in the country.

On a personal level I was surprised to like Pratt the most, despite his deficiencies Raman claimed Pratt was more scared to face her than Karen Bass and he laughed in her face and said “you think I’m more scared to face a failed city council member who has never accomplished any of her political goals than an incumbent mayor with the support of every municipal union?”

@TheFreePaloZine @mattyglesias just checked out your "zine." Absolutely loved it. You have truly reached an incredible level of satire. Well done!

@mattyglesias Would you rather they support the genocidal IDF lunatics?

Fuck the IDF soldier. Spurs in 4

@avidseries you forgot a big one: “restorative justice”

7 common "antiracist" policies in education: Lower graduation standards so more blacks graduate Reduce academic rigor so fewer blacks drop out Relax grading standards to try to reduce race GPA gaps Decrease SAT g-loading (make the test dumber) to attempt to narrow race score gaps Eliminate SAT and GRE requirements to hide the evidence showing the institutional and systemic anti-white/Asian racism in college admissions Admit black students to college and graduate schools with far lower academic qualifications than whites and Asians Dumb down, lower the minimum pass thresholds, or eliminate professional board exams

Alright, two things here. 1. Bailey Shoemaker would beat me senseless on the golf course. 2. This is the most uncomfortable, unacceptable thing my eyes have ever seen.
