"I tried to stop" - last words of Joan Sebastian Guerrero Shot dead in front of his 3 year old daughter by ICE, Trump's Gestapo. for the suspected crime of being Latino.
Advantages if @countbinface.bsky.social wins the Clacton by-election: 1) It punishes Nigel Farage for calling an unnecessary by-election. 2) It discourages other prospective MP's from resigning their seats to try to avoid ethical investigations. 3) He will bring satire to parliament. #ukpolitics
I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this morning. He said: (1) It's hot down here. (2) I should have voted to convict and remove Trump while I had the chance. (3) I was wrong about the ACA. Pass Medicare-for-All as soon as possible. Oh, I used a Ouija Board, not a telephone.
Great. Now everyone is going to hang out in Men’s room at nightclubs and get in on the fun. That was supposed to be our secret, guys! #Madonna #Danceteria
I am kind of envious that Orange County is getting this nice new tram, and we have to fight to even get rush-hour bus lanes with bare minimum enforcement in Los Angeles County. Imagine the new OC Streetcar in Santa Ana and this proposed Anaheim Streetcar being connected via Harbor Blvd. #transit
Two years before the Stonewall uprising were The Black Cat protests. We don't have to maintain the fight for all our civil and legal rights. Only the ones we want to keep. Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈
Loving these World Cup Fan Zones around Southern California, such as this one at West Hollywood Park. (Photo courtesy of @wehotimes.bsky.social ). There is also one I have seen at The Grove and Union Station. Even those of us who cannot afford the tickets will find a way to make it fun. #WeHo
Tras haber visitado recientemente Colombia y haber conocido este hermoso país y a su gente, me encanta ver todas estas fotos de colombianos orgullosos vistiendo los colores del fútbol. ¡Felicidades!
Having just visited Colombia and experience this beautiful country and its people, I am loving seeing all of these photos of proud Colombianos wearing soccer colors. Congratulations!
My friend Steven found this great photo of Dick Sargent and Elizabeth Montgomery as Grand Marshalls
He can fall asleep watching a basketball game on television at home. One day he is just going to fall asleep and pass away at a desk and then they are going to Weekend at Bernie's him for as long as they can get away with it.
It looks like a D v D runoff in California State Senate District 24 (representing 1 million people). This area covers Los Angeles County's Westside from Hollywood's to Malibu and then south to the Beach Cities. Congratulations to John Erickson and Brian Goldsmith.
State Senate Districts in California represents 1 million people. We are watching a tight race in District 24. I am keeping my eye on this Los Angeles Westside and Beach Cities district, because we could see a another D v. D contest emerge to replace popular State Senator Ben Allen.
43% of the #California primary vote has not been counted yet -- mail-ins and provisions which have been left-leaning for thirty years. The order of finish in close races might change as that vote is accurately verified and tabulated. There is a final result, and we will know it in a few weeks.
12 Years of AIDS/LifeCycle changed my life. It wasn't only an amazing cause and a physical challenge to me. It was a spiritual transformation that changed me and my life from the inside out. It was also an amazing community and I miss all the beautiful people in the "Love Bubble".
Imagine Los Angeles County having a transit service as vast as Melbourne's.
Ride the D or the 20/720/217 buses on #MetroLosAngeles or take the LADO DASH bus to the iconic La Brea Tar Pits on Wilshire in Los Angeles. #LosAngeles
First time taking the J (silver) Line BRT. Apparently there is a shorter line to Harbor Gateway and a longer line to San Pedro. Why is there almost no wayfaring to transfer between the A/B/D/E rail lines and the J bus liner above or below ground? @metrolosangeles.bsky.social #transit #LosAngeles
Community meetings coming up on June 6th and 8th for Metro Los Angeles' planned eastside extension of the E-Line to Whittier. www.metro.net/projects/eas... #MetroLosAngeles #LosAngeles #transit
Los Ángeles has that Big D Energy (T-shirts available from @movela.bsky.social ) @metrolosangeles.bsky.social
MappyDude on Reddit created the following map of funded @metrolosangeles.bsky.social projects. I may be elderly when they are all finally constructed and in operation, but I do believe I will live to see them. I hope future generations will appreciate what it took to get this far (and farther).
The Los Angeles County Westside Council of Governments is currently undergoing a Westside Bus Connection Study. What if we created a full Bus Rapid Transit line between Hollywood and LAX via La Cienega, Venice, and Sepulveda, similar to the new North Hollywood - Pasadena Line? #LosAngeles #transit
This fun new-ish Echo Park Pride is worth checking out. Last year was fun.
Took the D-Line extension this morning from Wilshire/Fairfax. I cannot believe how quickly I got downtown. I remember passing out leaflets for Measures R and M. I want to weep snd leap with joy! Let's fund and speed up the K-Line, Sepulveda, Vermont, Gateway, and C-Line extensions too. #transit
His accomplishments over 35 years from the environment to standing up to ICE to defending the ACA as CA Attorney General are too many too list here. Plus, he stood with LGBTQs back when few politicians would stand with us and I am happy to stand with Xavier Becerra today.
