Hard to think of another elected official who's doing such clearly important and vital work for Angelenos

As a reporter, I'm a bit reluctant to rely on academic studies about things you can know by just talking to people in your community. But among the authors of this one is VeniceJustice, which includes Peggy Lee Kennedy, who's helped ppl clear vehicles citations for 20+ years.

This report recommends that public officials divest from a "stick" approach, w/residents reporting harassment from police and housed neighbors. And it advocates for policies promoting stability, including ones giving ppl safe places/ways to set down. challengeinequality.luskin.ucla.edu/2025/06/25/kee…

Definitely, declining numbers of unhoused people in Venice isn’t because folks are getting housed in our area - LACity CD11. marvistavoice.org/decline-in-ven…

Unhoused people want basic city services. Why aren’t they getting any? LA has only 14 bathrooms for 4 million people. The city won't provide basic trash pickup to encampments while spending millions on sweeps that advocates say make conditions worse. lapublicpress.org/2025/07/la-unh…

Thx to Elizabeth Chou for this coverage. Meaningful relationships with communities on the frontlines of struggle along w/public scholarship are key to abolishing structures of inequality.

LADOT has submitted a proposed set parking fine increases and decreases, including a hike for oversized vehicles, from $128 to $143. Thx VeniceJustice for pointing me this. clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/202…

🥳 CONGRATULATIONS to the City of LA on setting a NEW RECORD for LIABILITY PAYOUTS! 🥳 Liability payouts get taken out of the General Fund, not from the responsible department's budget. This leads to the defunding of other City departments and is contributing to city layoffs.

"Instead of increasing fines, LADOT should bolster its ticket forgiveness program for unhoused residents." Sam Lutzker was quoted saying. Thanks Elizabeth Chou lapublicpress.org/2025/07/las-pu…

VeniceJustice Institute on Inequality & Democracy Sam Lutzker Elizabeth Chou this is just another tactic aimed at driving the homeless from the area. it's cruel and heartless and should be called the mean thing it is.

CSU Channel Islands professor Jonathan Anthony Caravello was arrested & disappeared by ICE in Camarillo yesterday. 4 pigs dragged Jonathan away without giving the reason for arrest and without disclosing where they are taking him. His whereabouts are still unknown. Please boost.

INTERVIEW: Epstein called Trump his best friend The connection that cannot be broken. Trump lied to his supporters about it. War toys to Ukraine. And Putin an end to the deal Follow #MOATS 464 X: Bryce Greene #MAGA #Epstein #Trump

The mayor keeps posting 'before & after' pics of cleared tents but never any follow ups on the ppl who used to live there. Did they get housing/rehab/medical help? How did they end up there? Do we only care about hiding homelessness, not solving it? I think the answer is clear 😟

As we all mourn Benito, I wanted to share a glimpse of his brilliant refusal of state power published in one of our Institute on Inequality & Democracy articles in RadicalHousingJournal @radicalhousing.bsky.social : radicalhousingjournal.org/wp-content/upl…

CRUEL STATE led Santa Cruz County Sweep. At least the outreach was honest about it being done without solutions. AT LEAST THAT ? Thats a low arse bar. UGH youtu.be/wNL3ViBVRw4?si…
