LA is stuck in a vicious, police-first cycle that criminalizes race while squandering our limited tax dollars. Why are we letting the LAPD use helicopters & guns to harass neighbors who are simply looking to live? We have the power to end this.

Dear god, the American president is wishing a foreign power would destroy her entire city and this is the best statement that pathetic woman can muster? LA, please please get rid of Karen Bass 🙏
"The President of the United States suggested that a foreign government attack Los Angeles, " Bass said. "His statements against our city are dangerous and could potentially compromise our safety. The role of a president is to protect the country, not to actively threaten it and encourage attacks on American lives. In the face of
irresponsible threats, as Angelenos, we know how to stand together and protect our city."

Trump hugely cut federal subsidies to our state's medical care. Prop 40 temporarily, badly plugs those holes. Everyone arguing that it's an imperfect fix, that it fails "good government" tests, pretending there's another solution in the wings, other than "people lose coverage and die." There isn't.

Nor have they included details about

with less city's taxpayers information than promised on matters such as who is winning business - and the attendant iobs and profits - from contracts that soared to $687 million in value last year.

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.
