@nithyavraman At least Mamdani seems is a cool, charismatic guy, even if his agenda is retarded. This woman is insufferable.

When you call 911 to report a crime, you shouldn’t be put on hold.
Many Angelenos don’t trust official crime statistics, because when responses are slow, crimes don’t get reported.
On council, I’ve voted against contracts and projects pushed by powerful interests that have bankrupted the city and taken money away from basic city services. When I’m mayor, 911 calls will be answered immediately, and the right help will come quickly.

@JamesQueallyLAT Restrooms at public eateries are routinely either unavailable or require a password to enter. There are security guards at the grocery store.
English
@JamesQueallyLAT People have eyes and ears. Metro bus drivers have protective barriers due to crazy passengers. Toothpaste is locked behind plexiglass at CVS. We have seen street walkers pop up in recent years on Western Ave. No one picks up the phone after dialing LAPD's non-emergency number

As someone once told me — Crime is up 100% for crime victims.
Two things can be true: Violent and property crime are down, significantly, in L.A.
But crime still happens and it’s awful for people who experience it.
The question is which correctly informs policy.

@Midnight_kev @_cat_turner Bro, shut up. It's not like you're Spencer Pratt, someone who has deep roots in L.A.

@_cat_turner Culver City kicks homeless people into LA jurisdiction…tell me you’re a transplant without telling me you’re a transplant…

DTLA can be clean and pleasant like Culver City if it got its act together and enforced its laws.

@oueouelouis @The_diSPENCER42 @boomersfandom We've seen Spain recruit Diego Costa, Aymeric Laporte, and Dean Huijsen.

@The_diSPENCER42 @boomersfandom Not really comparable, FIFA's rule are a lot more strict. You need to have born in a country or have one parent or grandparent born in that country to play for it. The only other way is at least 5 years of residence in that country and this condition is rarely used.

This is beyond shameful!
Jaxon Hayes has absolutely ZERO connection to Slovenia. He has never played in Slovenia, never lived in Slovenia & has NO Slovenian heritage.
Slovenia has provided Hayes with citizenship due to “national interest”. Essentially, Slovenia has decided to give Hayes a passport purely because it benefits their national Basketball program.
It would be no different to Australia giving citizenship to a guy like Jaylen Brown just so he can play for the Boomers.
It is disgusting that there are reports suggesting Kyrie Irving, who was born in Melbourne, would be ineligible to play for Australia, while Jaxon Hayes gets the green light to play for Slovenia.
@FIBA It would be disgraceful to let this go through & undermines the purpose of national sports - and for Slovenia, takes a spot away from a deserving Slovenian player.

Slovenian connection loading 🇸🇮🔥 Jaxson Hayes is now officially eligible to suit up for Slovenia alongside Luka Dončić 🏀💪 “My Slovenian brother” 🤝 — looks like Luka’s already claimed him 👀 Olympics, World Cup, EuroBasket… this duo could be dangerous 😤 #basketball #nba #slovenia #lukadoncic #jaxsonhayes #fiba #hoops

@ZeniDavinci Africans are great athletes. But their abilities in football aren't as strong as players from Europe and 🇧🇷🇦🇷
English
Africans are literally taking over Europe.
You’d literally find an African in almost every football team in Europe.
It used to be England, France and Portugal with black players, now you have blacks representing Spain, Italy, Germany, Czech and across Europe.

@N7James @gabrielmenez_ @ibsondepressao Mbappe is eligible to play for African countries because of where his parents came from. By contrast, Adrien Rabiot was never eligible to play for a different country based on where his parents came from. The differences are Sure obvious.
English
@gabrielmenez_ @ibsondepressao Name one? Most of them French parents immigrated to France during the the 1960s, some are even from French occupied islands, the same as the English black players who some are even from Jamaica and not African.
So which one of them are really African? Tell me, I want to know?

Pra mim isso aqui supera os brasileiros que não querem jogar pelo Brasil
Todos os 4 são titulares absolutos e status de ídolo como Drogba, Mané e tantos outros tiveram. Mas preferem jogar por um país onde se você perder você será xingado de todas as formas racistas possíveis.
Já no Brasil eu super entendo, na seleção brasileira tem vários problemas como a própria cbf que só convoca os favoritos e não os melhores, tem sua panela de grupo que é bem nociva e aqui a concorrência é muito maior e tem chance de você ser só mais um.
Andreas tivesse optado pela Bélgica teria sido feliz jogando uma copa.
Jorginho não teve essa sorte por causa da Itália.
Thiago Alcântara muito querido aqui na Espanha.
Entre tantos outros casos, toda regra a exceção.

🇳🇬 Esse seria o ataque da Nigéria se eles escolhessem jogar por suas origens familiares: ⚡️ Olise na ponta-direita. 🎩 Eze no meio. 💨 Saka na ponta-esquerda. 🎯 Osimhen na frente. ISSO DARIA MUITO TRABALHO! 🥵
Português
@gabrielmenez_ @ibsondepressao There is a lack of national identity across Africa. By contrast, Mexicans, Turks, and the Chinese have an extremely strong national consciousness.
English
@ibsondepressao Africanos geralmente têm pouco ou nenhum orgulho de onde vieram, imigram e passam a se sentir verdadeiramente parte da sociedade em que integram. Muito parecido com o que alguns tentam empurrar aqui com a história do “bostil”

@Tombstone1199 @Brownsugababe87 @blacktwiterthrd Okay, but no one's saying they have the prettiest hair. For me, they have the hottest bodies. I also like their lips.

@Brownsugababe87 @blacktwiterthrd Not a backhanded compliment just saying that ain’t her real hair. No need to get worked up over it and if I hurt your feelings, I’m sorry.

@JCR1392 @MissJilianne Street vendors are suitable for a highly urbanized area that lacks gas stations, parking, and freeways -- like Manhattan. L.A. is only like that in Downtown L.A. and its environs.
English
@JorCru @Bingus12621 🫵🤡 Firemen cannot even park and get through to put a fire in one of the buildings due to the obstruction caused by the sidewalk vending.
English
@Bingus12621 I’m trying to say… I don’t fucking care about stalls on a street that exists to sell you things. Like THIS is not the hallmark of LA in decline!
English
I’m not saying we don’t have problems in LA but idk if people selling tchotchkes on a tourist hub street is one of them? This isn’t a tent city this is people trying to sell bits and bobs along the walk of fame I think that’s just what tourist traps do…

@JCR1392 @MissJilianne An excessively high concentration of sidewalk vending infringes on the rights of others, such as owners of business and property, as well as pedestrians.

@MissJilianne It’s fucking street vendors.
If anything they’re the sign of a healthy city.

@MissJilianne It’s been like that for 50-60 years. You’re being selective in your outrage retard

@_ChristopherM @ReelJeffEwing That's not the point. A high concentration of sidewalk vending infringes on the rights of others, including owners of adjacent property and businesses and pedestrians. You're also mistaken if you think these street operations are innocuous "small businesses".
English
@ReelJeffEwing I feel like this is someone angry at small businesses and likely "much worse" reasons...
English
@dietkramer It's a matter of safety and orderliness. Some levels of street vending are tolerable. But some levels of the activity infringe on the rights of others.

@SoCalValleyGal @lalovestrump @MissJilianne Angel's Tijuana Tacos operates food tents within L.A. city limits. It has a truck in Covina. And it has two brick-and-mortar stores in the OC. This just shows how L.A. city tolerates a free-for-all on the streets, while the smaller cities have standards.
English
Ventura County doesn't allow it either. Ventura County (including unincorporated areas and cities like Simi Valley and Oxnard) strictly prohibits unpermitted pop-up food stands operating on sidewalks, roadways, or unpaved shoulders. Authorities cite serious food-safety risks and road hazards, actively seizing equipment and food from illegal operators
