We must discuss CA and LA. Talk about a whole lot of crazy.When have we discussed a Republican-controlled city?State? Florida.DeSantis is doing his job. Bought into the lie, told to him by rich fat cats.Rubio is making a presidential bid.CA taxing the heck out of you.And let me provide credibility out of the gate. Look at what the LA City Council has done. https://x.com/Dapper_Det/status/2052198592769654809The Woke LA City Council just passed a landmark motion (14-0) to ban police from making traffic stops—becoming the first legislative body in the U.S. to take such a dangerous step. They passed this UNANIMOUSLY!Do they have any idea what this will do?! One of the first steps to solving crimes comes with police traffic stops. Human, child-sex & narcotics trafficking. You could rob a bank and not get pulled over. Drunk drive. What about drive-by shootings. A carjacker could not get pulled over? I'm just wondering. What is the role of traffic cops? But it gets worse. Because remember, the “leadership” in LA can burn down houses with immunity. And then raise money to launder to their campaigns.Rep Kevin Kiley spoke on how the fundraising to help people rebuild their homes has been squandered.[X] SB – LA Fire Aid concert funds squandered18,000 homes 30 deadSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Miles Low, Akili and Dominique go in on national and international headlines: is it a big deal the LA City Council voted to end pretextual traffic stops? Are we mad at Killer Mike? Do our votes still count with the new Republican maps and more.

The L.A. City Council has voted to move toward ending controversial “pretextual” police stops — when officers use minor infractions as a reason to investigate more serious crimes. Supporters say the tactic has disproportionately impacted Black and Latino residents, while critics warn limiting it could affect policing efforts — with the final decision now up to the Police Commission. The Fresno Bee is endorsing Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula for Fresno City Council District 3, pointing to his years of experience in state government as a key advantage in a crowded race. The editorial board says Arambula’s approach to issues like economic development and homelessness — including focusing on housing over punishment — stood out, while also highlighting Keshia Thomas as another strong candidate to consider.

He is a housing justice advocate who has been a community organizer since he was a kid – and now he is running for Los Angeles City Council. I talk with Estuardo Mazariegos, candidate for Council District 9 in the City of Los Angeles, on this episode of WNLA.Today is the second installment of our series of interviews with candidates running to succeed Curren Price on the LA City Council. The 9th Council District in Los Angeles stretches from the southern edge of Downtown Los Angeles, through South Central, all the way toward Watts. The communities of Central-Alameda, Vernon-Central, South Park, Green Meadows, and Vermont Square all call District 9 home. The district is among the most diverse and youngest in the city, with over three-quarters of residents identifying as Latino, a significant Black community, and many families with roots across Latin America and beyond. Nearly 40% of District 9 residents live below the federal poverty line, making it the city's poorest council district, and many households face challenges of housing insecurity, limited access to good jobs, and environmental burdens.With Price completing his third and final term, the seat is open for the first time since 2013. The primary election will take place on June 2, 2026, and the runoff, if needed, will be in November. This year, the field features community leaders, non-profit executives, and policy advocates all vying for votes. The candidates include Jose Ugarte, Estuardo Mazariegos, Elmer Roldan, and several others—each bringing their own vision for the future of South LA.Today's guest is Estuardo Mazariegos. He is the Los Angeles co-director of ACCE, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, a grassroots organization working to organize and fight for  California's traditionally underserved residents, including communities of color, low-income and working families, and the undocumented population.Estuardo is a an immigrant from Guatemala who was carried across the Rio Grande as a child by his mother. As you'll hear in the interview, he says he learned to be a community organizer as a young child and has never stopped being one. He is known for his leadership in housing justice initiatives and organizing efforts, working with ACCE and other grassroots groups to address local community issues and advocate for social changehttps://www.estuardo4la.com/Nov 5 - Elmer RoldanNov 12 - Estuardo MazariegosNov 19 - Jose UgarteWhat's Next, Los Angeles? is produced and hosted by Mike Bonin, in partnership with LA Forward.

Here we go again with LA City Council's latest stroke of genius - nearly doubling construction worker minimum wages from $18 to $32.35 an hour while simultaneously crying about a housing shortage. Is anyone surprised that the same city council members who've never run a business think they can magically solve housing costs by making it twice as expensive to build? This brilliant plan covers mid-sized apartment buildings (10+ units, up to 85 feet) - exactly the housing LA desperately needs.We break down how this "workers of the world unite" mentality will drive construction companies straight out of LA to neighboring areas where labor costs half as much. Previous research already shows labor agreements increase construction costs and reduce apartment supply, but why let facts get in the way of good socialist virtue signaling? Remember when Seattle tried this with Starbucks workers? How did that work out when the stores started closing? What could possibly go wrong when you actively disincentivize the very industry you need most? Will LA's half-million new home mandate by 2029 become even more impossible?Let me know in the comments - should we just let them bump it to $50 an hour and watch the fireworks? Don't forget to subscribe for more government accountability insanity!

A bunch of you requested that we un-paywall this recent bonus episode, which features some highly practical insights for organizers, volunteers, and public servants. So we have! (All the other bonus episodes are good too; please subscribe.)—Right wing movements thrive by cultivating fears of disorder. Conservatives depict blue cities as sites of rampant crime, chaos, and iniquity. And often enough, it is progressives — with their overdeveloped empathy and concern for the poor and criminalized — who take the blame. Recently, a rising chorus of voices on the center-left, including figures like Ezra Klein, have embraced the thesis that perceptions of disorder in cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco have contributed to America's rightward turn. But is that accurate? And can anything be done about it?In this episode, Sam is joined by organizer, writer, and podcaster Hayes Davenport to discuss his experiences fighting against this sort of backlash in Los Angeles. As soon as Hayes had helped his friend Nithya Raman get elected to the LA City Council in 2020 and joined her staff, conservative forces in city government mobilized to thwart her pro-tenant agenda and blame the tiny faction of progressives on the council for rising crime and homelessness. How did they respond? What can the past few years in LA politics teach the American left? And can we imagine a leftist politics that short-circuits the right's effort to use disorder to undermine our efforts to address its underlying causes: government neglect, poverty, and exploitation. We discuss! Further Reading:Hayes Davenport, "Ezra Klein is wrong about this," Big City Heat, Dec 9, 2024.— "Violent crime is down. Why are so many people mad about it?"
