Yuck 🤮
This is a perfect example of white feminism™ that supports an anti-abortion white male candidate over a pro-choice Black woman, while still espousing pro-choice rhetoric
You cannot be a progressive by voting for and empowering extremists

“With pressure mounting and the clock ticking, the Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Friday to dramatically expand protections for renters, heading off what advocates had feared could become a wave of evictions.
The vote comes just 11 days before the city’s long-standing COVID-19 anti-eviction rules were set to expire. The new policy is expected to go into effect before the Jan. 31 deadline.
Friday’s vote underscores the growing political might of the council’s progressive bloc, which successfully championed a more aggressive set of policies. The new legislation is also widely viewed as a victory for tenant rights advocates.
The COVID-19 emergency rules were passed amid unprecedented disruption at the start of the pandemic, along with similar measures at other levels of government. But Los Angeles’ anti-eviction protections remained in place even as other measures expired, with local leaders wary of exacerbating homelessness and overcrowding problems that had already reached crisis proportions.
The council’s action was preceded by more than two hours of public comment, with dozens of renters elucidating fears and making impassioned pleas to the council to pass a muscular policy before the emergency order sunsets.
“I’m in a wheelchair. I’m 67 years old. And as soon as you guys lift the protections, I’ll be out on the street. ... We are human beings and we deserve to live with dignity,” Maria Briones told the council, imploring members to pass the legislation...
The new policy will establish a minimum threshold for eviction for tenants who fall behind on rent, and require landlords to pay relocation fees in some situations in which a large rent increase would result in the tenant’s displacement.
Landlords will no longer be allowed to evict tenants in any rental property, including single-family homes, unless there was unpaid rent, documented lease violations, owner move-ins or other specific reasons. That provision will go into effect after six months or when a lease expires, whichever comes first.
Some renters, including those in rent-stabilized units, already have “just cause” eviction protections, but making them universal expands the protections to about 400,000 additional units, according to the city’s Housing Department, [which in the densely packed city will likely protect well over 1 million people].
The new policy will also block evictions until February 2024 for tenants who have unauthorized pets or who added residents who aren’t listed on leases, and create a new timeline for paying rent owed from the emergency period. Tenants would have until Aug. 1 to pay back-rent accumulated between March 1, 2020, and Sept. 30, 2021, and until Feb. 1, 2024, to pay back-rent accumulated between Oct. 1, 2021, and Jan. 31, 2023...
Mayor Karen Bass plans to sign the ordinance in the coming days.
“I want to congratulate our City Council — especially the Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee Councilmember Nithya Raman — on passing these important protections, which are crucial to combatting a potential spike in homelessness in our city,” Bass said in a statement. “In order to confront this crisis, we must continue [to] get people housed but we also must stop people from becoming homeless in the first place.”” -via Los Angeles Times, 1/20/23

“While we continue to collect evidence, I want to say this very clearly: State-sanctioned kidnapping is not a public policy choice, it is immoral and disgusting,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement.
L.A. Mayor Karen Bass slammed Abbott. “It is abhorrent that an American elected official is using human beings as pawns in his cheap political games,” she said in a statement.
Bass said shortly after she took office last December, she directed city departments to begin planning in case L.A. “was on the receiving end of a despicable stunt that Republican Governors have grown so fond of. This did not catch us off guard, nor will it intimidate us.”

Mayor Bass, why did you only start to care once actors went on strike? Why do you, a politician who ran entirely on eradicating homelessness, not voice strong concern over CEOs stating they wish to make their writers homeless to feel their power? You should have stepped in long ago.
You do not care, it's clear, you're only saving face and trying to make the wealthy happy.
Your City Controller has stronger convictions and stronger words. Maybe Kenneth Mejia needs to be Mayor. He seems to get it.

Incredible win! Not even from a political standpoint just watching the polls be so close and then the race be so close and the money behind Rick's campaign.... it's just been very interesting to watch. But, yes, I'm happy the fake Democrat lost.
