Time is running out as beneficial LA county tenant protections put in place during the pandemic expire March 31. Read the full Op-Ed from two Long Beach housing advocates on why the renter-majority city must do more to help residents stay housed: forthe.org/perspectives/home…

20 years ago, leaders sought to increase West Long Beach’s park space eightfold. It’s still nowhere close. Residents are upset that a 21-acre land "promised" as greenspace for the over-polluted area is set to get the greenlight for development instead. forthe.org/perspectives/once…

Grief is not convenient. It is not curated and only allowed in spaces away from a wandering eye. I give myself permission to grieve whenever and wherever my emotions see fit.

Ha ha! Why would I have a conscience about bullying marginalised people when I am so rich? Silly poors. When you’re as wealthy as me, equality only has to be a thought experiment!

Tasteful Rude is accepting reviews and criticism. No piece is too short or too long! Book and film reviews are preferable but we are open to the weird and the very weird.

Horrific story by @AP investigative reporter @JimMustian. Police in a small town outfitted a woman informant with a small recording device and sent her in unprotected and unmonitored in real-time. She was raped. Police remained down the block unaware. bit.ly/3xlpjTM

🧵My suspension has been rescinded! You have no idea how relieved I am! I am grateful to the many journalism organizations & people who supported my students & me throughout this ordeal. Yes, I wore this #FirstAmendment shirt to my appeal meeting on Zoom today. (1/6)
Cool, why aren't they shuttling folks to the beach from the hotter parts of town like the north? The (relatively affluent) areas covered in this already have the most services...
The council is voting to award a contract for a micro-transit shuttle program that would serve Downtown, Alamitos Beach and Belmont Shore on evenings Thursday through Sunday.

I’m sorry, but not sorry. How TF did @IssaRae not win her Emmy and @insecurehbo not get nominated for best comedy series. That’s the tweet.

Residents are asking for seed funding for a Black Reparations fund to support healing, capacity building, youth opportunities, reentry services for formerly incarcerated residents, and community-led crisis response, violence reduction and violence prevention.
#LBC Councilmember Al Austin says current budget "doesn't go far enough for everybody." Public commenters say that the 40%+ of the general fund that goes to #LBPD should be divested & used more efficiently to support the wellbeing of everybody else in the city. #PeoplesBudgetLB
