raeforla 3w "The next mayor will either rise to meet the depth of this crisis or manage it at the margins while the city continues to slip away from the people who built it. Rae Huang is the candidate who understands what this moment demands and who has the platform, the values, and the courage to deliver. Los Angeles doesn't need another mayor who arrives at the scene after the damage is done - it needs one who never lets it get that far. That mayor is Rae Huang."

The Media's Responsibility — and Ours The press has enormous power in a race like this. When outlets decide, day after day, to frame Raman as the progressive standard-bearer without interrogating her actual policy positions, they are not covering the race they are shaping it.

A new poll from Loyola Marymount University shows Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman pulling ahead in the mayor's race, with 32.5% of respondents listing her as their top pick. Current Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is in second with 17.0% of respondents listing her as their top pick, and Presbyterian minister, community organizer Rae Huang close behind with 16.6% of the share. The poll asked a number of questions to nearly 1,000 potential voters. For more on this data, we're

As mayor, I will faithfully implement SB79’s community protections while ensuring we are increasing our housing supply. Every Angeleno deserves a safe and affordable home, and SB79 is one of the many pathways that will make this a reality. 5:07 PM · Feb 24, 2026 Everybody can reply

LAist logo and site menu Researchers used employment data for the county and found that those ZIP codes were over-represented in industries, including manufacturing and retail, which have a significant number of undocumented workers. Businesses in these neighborhoods also tended to have fewer employees on average compared to the rest of the county, and employees were paid less. "Taken together, these exhibits show that areas facing heightened immigration enforcement differ from the rest of Los Angeles County and appear more economically vulnerable," the report states.
Bass would have been able to shrug off criticism from Spencer Pratt, Rae Huang and most of the other 35-plus people planning to run, as none ultimately have a real path to victory.

X/Twitter screenshot: Elizabeth Chou @reporterliz Raman often votes with the council's left flank, but not always. I reached out to lefty candidate Rae Huang's camp. Her comms, Emel Shaikh, said they'll keep sharing Huang's vision, saying ppl want "real change .... not an establishment that works within a broken structure." Screenshot: This has been a very exciting week with a lot of chatter and speculation about the LA mayoral race, and the last minute decision by Nithya Raman to throw her hat in the ring speaks to the dissatisfaction Angelenos are feeling with our current administration. But we are also confident that what our neighbors are asking for is real change and transformation, not an establishment that works within a broken structure, and we look forward to continuing knocking on doors and sharing Rev. Rae Huang's vision for the city with our neighbors. 6:48 PM Feb 7, 2026 310 Views

As Mayor, Rae will make transit fast and free for everyone by eliminating fares across the system, saving families money and boosting ridership immediately. She will expand bus rapid transit, with dedicated lanes and speedy boarding, a proven solution that moves riders quickly while taming traffic. Rae will also connect our rail, bus, and bike networks into a truly seamless system so every Angeleno can reach any corner of Los Angeles safely and freely without driving. With tree-lined sidewalks, green spaces, protected bike routes, and safer intersections, Rae will build a Los Angeles where people—not traffic—come first, and every neighborhood is cleaner, healthier, and safer to call home.
And what will be the final construction cost of the gondola and who pays for it? David Grannis says building it could cost between $300 million and $500 million. He also acknowledges the project’s construction and operation might not necessarily all be privately financed. “We proposed it as privately funded,” says Grannis. “We're still on that track, but we don't know what the final cost is going to be and whether that's still going to be feasible.”
Fast and Free Buses Los Angeles streets are not built to support fast, reliable transit, leaving the eight out of ten Angelenos who depend on buses for work, school, and daily errands stuck with slow, inefficient commutes. Some of our busiest routes are among the slowest in the nation, adding hours to people’s workdays, and undermining our climate goals. Fare discount programs for low-income riders are so confusing that most people don’t use them, while transportation costs have become the second-highest item in families’ budgets. What’s more, hundreds of families lose loved ones in preventable collisions every year on our streets.

Susan O’Carroll, a planning and environmental consultant and Burbank resident, said she has long had issues with the bus plan. Now that its development carries the promise of a neighborhood-spanning zoning overhaul, the stakes feel much higher. The bus, in effect, will “destroy the single family neighborhoods on either side” of the route, she said. [ad] The only way to stop the apartments now, she said, is to stop the bus.

Resurgence and online usage edit In late 2020, it experienced a resurgence in popularity due to a viral TikTok trend where hundreds of thousands utilized the song.[12] A report published in August 2021 by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue found that "Little Dark Age" was "by far the most popular Sound among extremist creators on TikTok" and was central to videos promoting "Hyperborea and a wider trend of esoteric Nazism."[13][14] The song has also been used to soundtrack clips of anime, superhero movies, video games, Renaissance art as well as a wide range of social issues, including transgender rights, the Black Lives Matter movement and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[12] In 2024, Alexis Petridis of The Guardian wrote: "Certainly its adoption doesn't say much for your average neo-Nazi's ability to understand English. Little Dark Age's lyrics are, fairly obviously, an excoriation of Trump-era America and racist police violence."[15]

ACECO's slogan of "Redefining Demolition" has never called to mind the demolition of Democracy, yet today, with ACECO backhoes plastered across news articles about the unexpected, and likely illegal, demolition of the walls of the East Wing of the White House today, I believe we are watching Demolition be Redefined in real time, at least with regard to ACECO's reputation. From ACECO's extensive government work, including for Trump's first inauguration, you must know that the White House does not belong to one man: it belongs to We, The People, with the National Park Service as its steward. I cannot begin to imagine what permits Mr. Trump may have cooked up, after apparently lying on camera in July when he said that his privately financed ballroom "won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of." Perhaps you are no more surprised than I am that the President lied, but this is a lie that ACECO is now complicit in, and will be forever associated with.
Case 1:25-cr-00272-MSN Document 59 Filed 10/20/25 Page 1 of 51 PageID# 277 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Alexandria Division United States of America, V. Case No.: 1:25-CR-00272-MSN James B. Comey, Jr., Defendant. JAMES B. COMEY, JR.'S MOTION AND MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO DISMISS INDICTMENT James B. Comey, Jr., by and through undersigned counsel, and pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 12(b), moves this Court to dismiss the government's indictment. As explained further below, the government has singled out Mr. Comey for prosecution because of his protected speech and because of President Trump's personal animus toward Mr. Comey. Such a vindictive and selective prosecution violates the First Amendment, Due Process Clause, and equal protection principles. The proper remedy for this unconstitutional prosecution is dismissal with prejudice. Any lesser remedy would be insufficient in light of the government's flagrant misconduct and the need to deter the government from bringing further unconstitutional prosecutions.

excerpt from the Wheaton Record on Russell Vought's campaign for student government
Hollywood Labor Joint Statement on Jimmy Kimmel September 18, 2025 The indefinite removal of Jimmy Kimmel Live under government pressure is not an isolated incident. It is part of a disturbing trend of increasing interference in creative expression. This kind of political pressure on broadcasters and artists chills free speech and threatens the livelihoods of thousands of working Americans. When a private citizen, business, or television network bows to government intimidation, it strikes at the heart of our First Amendment rights. Creative artists must be free to do their work without fear that their careers or their family’s livelihoods will be disrupted simply for their opinions. These cases pull the rug out from under the hardworking American workers behind the scenes who make these productions possible. At a time when America’s film and television industry is still struggling due to globalization and industry contraction, further unnecessary job losses only make a bad situation worse. Finally, media companies have a responsibility to defend their workers and the integrity of the stories they tell. All broadcasters must stand firm in defense of free expression and the First Amendment, not capitulate to a policy of political appeasement.

ACLU What is a “reasonable distance”? The federal government defines a “reasonable distance” as 100 air miles from any external boundary of the U.S. So, combining this federal regulation and the federal law regarding warrantless vehicle searches, CBP claims authority to board a bus or train without a warrant anywhere within this 100-mile zone. Two-thirds of the U.S. population, or about 200 million people, reside within this expanded border region, according to the 2010 census. Most of the 10 largest cities in the U.S., such as New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago, fall in this region. Some states, like Florida, lie entirely within this border band so their entire populations are impacted.

CNN And a top Jeffries adviser this week issued a pointed warning: Target the House minority leader and he won't just beat them; he'll respond by going after the democratic socialists from Brooklyn elected to the state legislature, whose primaries would be on the same day next year. "Leader Hakeem Jeffries is focused on taking back the House from the MAGA extremists who just ripped health care away from millions of Americans,” Jeffries senior adviser André Richardson told CNN. “However, if Team Gentrification wants a primary fight, our response will be forceful and unrelenting. We will teach them and all of their incumbents a painful lesson on June 23, 2026."

At first, onstage and in life, I didn't really know what relating was. And listening was more a kind of waiting than anything else. I talk and then you talk. And then I listen for when I get to talk again. But relating, I came to understand, happens not just while I'm talking; it also happens while you're talking, and in between. During rehearsals for The Apple Tree, Mike Nichols got frustrated as Barbara Harris and I played a scene, and he yelled out something from the darkened house I would never forget: "You kids think relating is the icing on the cake. It isn't. It's the cake." I never forgot it, but it was years before I understood what it meant. When I started out as an actor, I thought, Here's what I have to say; how shall I say it? On M*A*S*H, I began to understand that what I do in the scene is not as important as what happens between me and the other person. And
