Wasserman has faced growing scrutiny in recent weeks after a trove of Justice Department documents included a series of flirty emails between him and Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator, convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, from 2003.
Traffic collisions in the city of Los Angeles killed 290 people last year, and more than 150 fatal collisions involved pedestrians, according to Los Angeles Police Department data. It’s also 60 more people than died by homicide last year.
“Since we don’t have access to the [40mm launcher], the FN303 is an alternative option,” LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said. “[And] we’re looking at other options that are available as well on the field.”
Raising taxes for this nationalist grift while the city is completely unaffordable, car dependent, healthcare bankrupt, gestapo overrun, wasserman and similar pedos, etc.
The resolution by Leandra Blades, a retired L.A. county law enforcement officer, advocates for the district to cooperate with and affirm “its support for local law enforcement officers and federal immigration officers.”
I’m not really sure what else to add past this point. Outside of, again, there needs to be a change here. And broadly, across our government, across our society, there needs to be widespread accountability for all of this.
Last Saturday around 6pm, Regan Cole-Graham, a mother of two and pregnant with her third, was out on a bike ride with her husband and two young boys. A driver hit her from behind and killed her, and her unborn baby died at the hospital despite an emergency c-section. This wasn’t an accident. In 2017, L.A. installed bike lanes on Pershing Drive, exactly where she was hit, and removed them after backlash by the neighborhood council, and a lawsuit by Keep LA Moving.
The coming Olympic Games in Los Angeles have been under a harsh spotlight, as LA28 head Casey Wasserman faces calls to resign over his recently released racy emails with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and chatter around ICE agents operating at the Winter Games.
“Hosting the Games is already accelerating policing, displacement, inequality, and exploitation in some of our city’s lowest-income communities — and, now, it’s being coordinated hand-in-glove with Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security,” says Chris Tyler, SAJE’s communications director. “At this point, these intersecting harms will not be reduced in any meaningful way unless we cancel.”
A growing number of Los Angeles-area politicians are calling on Olympics chief Casey Wasserman to step down after recently released files included a series of flirty emails between him and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from 2003.
The fact that everybody is suing LINX, the main contractor, makes it seem like they are in fact the ones screwing things up, rather than LAX.
I just want it finished!
L.A. County is considering plans to remove potentially thousands of unhoused people from areas around sports venues ahead of the Olympic Games in 2028.
On Tuesday, the L.A. City Council directed the city attorney to draft two options for a hotel tax. The first is a 4% increase that falls to 2% after the Olympics; the second is a 2% increase that drops to 1% after the Games.
The killing of another protester by immigration agents in Minneapolis and President Trump’s ongoing threats against Greenland have fueled calls to boycott World Cup matches held in the U.S. this summer — including in Los Angeles.
“Seriously, imagine going to play the World Cup in a country that attacks its ’neighbors,’ threatens to invade Greenland, destroys international law, wants to torpedo the UN, establishes a fascist and racist militia in its country, attacks the opposition there, forbids the supporters to access the event from about 15 countries, plans to ban all LGBT signs in stadiums, etc… ?” wrote progressive French assemblymember Éric Coquerel in a blistering post on Instagram. “The question is so serious that it is still possible to refocus on Mexico and Canada.”
The Los Angeles Police Department is requesting nearly $100 million in city funds for vehicles and equipment for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, more than two years out from the world’s largest sporting event coming to L.A.
Shortly after the Eaton Fire destroyed thousands of homes in and around Altadena, signs sprung up across the community announcing “Altadena is not for sale.”
No chip and the shelters are full, if by some miracle it is yours please post what garment he was wearing when he got lost and what color leash he had on
Late last week, Torched’s Alissa Walker broke a story about LAX getting construction underway on a massive roadway expansion. When complete, it will send even more cars into the already gridlocked central “horseshoe” roadway. Widening the roads leading into an unchanged horseshoe will, you guessed it, worsen congestion in the horseshoe.
Does anyone know if the original Los Angeles Drink & Draw still happens every Thursday at Casey’s Pub downtown? They’ve always been pretty shit at maintaining their social media, so it’s kind of hard to tell.
The 2028 Olympics are coming to Los Angeles as a multi-billion dollar operation funded by massive private and federal government investments and backed by city and state pledges to cover cost overruns.
Six leaders of the Mexico-based La Luz del Mundo megachurch — including its current “apostle,” Naasón Joaquín García, his mother and four associates — are facing federal charges of racketeering, child pornography and sex trafficking, under a recently unsealed indictment. Maximum penalties for some of the offenses include life in prison.
LA Metro said the bus operator wasn’t authorized to give an interview. The driver said he was simply exercising his right to free speech by giving an interview on his day off.
Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez, a 52-year-old father from Guatemala, was fatally struck by an SUV on the 210 Freeway Thursday morning while fleeing an ICE raid at the Home Depot in Monrovia, California, where agents detained eight immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.
In the link you can see the different proposed alternatives for what metro is thinking of implementing to get a connection from the San Fernando Valley and the Westide.
What will it take for Los Angeles to have a sense of urgency in actually making our streets safer? We currently spend more on legal settlements to those hurt and killed on our streets than we do on Vision Zero, the city’s half-baked effort to reduce traffic deaths. Since Los Angeles declared itself a Vision Zero City in 2015, with the ultimate aim of having no one killed in car crashes on city streets by 2025, deaths and injuries have only gotten worse. In the last few years we’ve had at least three children hit and killed while walking to school. And yet the city’s leaders — facing a budget crisis, much of it of their own making — perpetually underfund LADOT and street safety in general.
