Sir @nickandert.bsky.social, duty calls. There are a lot of people who will happily, mercilessly harass the Metro Board until they choose you should you agree to throw your hat in the ring. Just say the word.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Someone said that, in order to deal with the NIMBY problem, the LA Metro Board should be elected. I initially thought that wouldn’t really help as the current board members are already elected to other seats… but a direct election would likely result in pro-transit voters outweighing NIMBY voters.
