On Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, 1998: Does someone want to tell him? #losangeles #malibu #photography #BlackAndWhite #tv

"Los Angeles can be a challenging context in which to organize direct action. Almost 13 million people live in the vicinity of the metropolitan area, but this population is spread out across a vast space. While public transportation is available, it is rarely accessible or rapid; this makes gathering difficult, whether for organizing or for actions. Most of the more radical political networks are more or less isolated, owing to geography, ideological conflicts, and the complications of identity politics." One more reason why I hate car culture. Car culture destroys communities and eases state control. #FreePalestine #LosAngeles #directaction

Thousands of #JewishAmericans and Allies Demand Cease-Fire in #Gaza

"We as #AmericanJews believe that '#NeverAgain' means never again for anyone, and that includes #Palestinians," said #JewishVoiceForPeace

"As the Biden administration's intent to silence dissent against the United States' backing of the Israel Defense Forces' onslaught in Gaza became increasingly clear Friday night, at least 80 #Jewish Americans and other supporters of Palestinians' #HumanRights were #arrested for #protesting outside the homes and offices of a number of Democratic lawmakers, where they demanded the U.S. government join growing calls for a cease-fire.

"The U.S. group Jewish Voice for Peace (#JVP) organized the mass action, along with calling on Americans to contact their representatives in Congress and demand that they speak out against the air assault Israel launched this week in retaliation for #Hamas' brutal attack last weekend.

"At least 2,215 Palestinians have been killed in airstrikes this week, and at least 8,714 people have been injured. The death toll in Israel has reached 1,300, according to Al Jazeera.

"Human rights advocates have warned that a looming ground offensive by the #IDF in Gaza could rapidly push civilian casualties far higher.

"On Friday, JVP led more than 2,000 protesters in five U.S. cities—#NewYorkCity, #SanFrancisco, #LosAngeles, #Chicago, and #Seattle—in demanding that senators and members of the U.S. House act to halt the '#genocide of Palestinians.'

''We as American Jews believe that 'never again' means never again for anyone, and that includes Palestinians," said JVP, referring to the refrain repeated by the Jewish American community regarding the need to prevent genocide. "'Never again' is this very moment."

"Thousands of people gathered at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn and marched to Senate Majority Leader Chuck #Schumer's (D-N.Y.) home, where they blocked the road. Approximately 60 people were 'dragged away by police,' JVP said.

"New York state Assemblymembers #ZohranMamdani (D-36) and #MarcelaMitaynes (D-51) were among those arrested."

LA Promised to Preserve Low-Cost #Housing. These Tenants’ Homes Were Turned Into Hotel Rooms Anyway.

When the American Hotel converted into a tourist hotel, its long-term residents lost not just their affordable housing but the creative #community that long thrived in the iconic building.

Los Angeles is now warning people not to wear jewelry in public because theft is so rampant. Maybe it's time to start punishing criminals again.
