Do the city a solid and vote for @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social for mayor of LA!! 🙌🏼🗳️🇺🇸 (And please enjoy this California Post / Pratt supporter)
Terrifying: DOGE guys rebranded as “National Design Studio” & took over federal websites to steal info with no oversight. They’re building an alternate Vote,gov database - contrary to what the DOJ told a judge ( @marcelias.bsky.social @emptywheel.bsky.social) open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...
LOL - while MAGA pours cash into Spencer Pratt’s campaign for LA mayor, he’s like “I don’t know her” when reporters point it out. Nithya Raman is the progressive option who still has a shot. #NithyaForTheCity
Taking time away from school boards to say LA! There are 3 viable candidates for mayor right now: 1.) spoiled USC frat boy MAGA, 2) Dem status quo 3.) Nithya Raman - the progressive candidate who actually has a shot Please elect the smart policy wonk who wants to make our city better!
California Family Council is the state level org for Family Research Council Action (according to FRC Action’s website). CFC is also the CA state policy org for Focus on the Family Does CFC not want to be publicly associated with FRC?
And then the conservatives stuck around to film ONE trans athlete and blast her across the conservative social media hate ecosphere - where she immediately got death threats. I think that might actually be the incitement @skyspider.bsky.social @prideatthepier.bsky.social
Also in attendance: Sophia Lorey and the Suits from California Family Council (the anti-LGBTQIA org designated a hate group by the SPLC that is coordinating this campaign). Sophia normally shows up solo. Did her bosses turn up because they actually thought Bianco and Hilton would show and not ghost?
I stopped filming because I thought she was done, then I realized the “Protect Girls Sports” defender of women was calling my trans guy friend a “cunt.” Didn’t get that but got this:
Here’s one of Sonja Shaw & California Family Council’s “Protect Girls Sports” press conference fillers. No idea who she was, but she freaked out when she saw a trans guy wearing a progress flag pin.
Chris Shaw referred to someone in attendance as a “bitch with a Pride flag.” Later, when he saw a trans man who has critiqued Shaw’s wife at board meetings - he called both of us “ladies.” Again, this dude’s wife is running for CA state office and is on the GOP slate with Bianco and Hilton.
I regret to tell you that the Instagram algorithm has once more read me perfectly.
Just found this all time banger of a Valentine from my kid’s school.
Hey! If you’re an LA-based journalist, there is a free screening of our documentary about school moms taking on Proud Boys and the far-right machine happening this Thursday in downtown LA at the LA Press Club. Moderated by @adamrose.bsky.social
Tonight’s private donor screening of our documentary about far-right trash targeting school boards to seize political power is SOLD OUT but you can follow the #MomsClub documentary Instagram account for more! (look! It’s me!)
In honor of Artemis 2 and… science, please enjoy this all-time banger written by my then 6th grader.
Mine is tailored to my sock puppet account that follows trad wives (and their Proud Boys husbands). It’s mainly ads for chickens and chicken accessories, but lately it has been all chickens’ buttholes.
That’s what I told myself - bear - but it was also deep mud from a recent snow melt. Whaddya reckon, Montana guy?
I just want to hike somewhere without guys carrying guns and mountain lions. I miss LA and terrible Russian rap blaring from personal loudspeakers in the canyons.
