It takes a special kind of historical dishonesty to step onto the world stage and pretend this isn’t the truth of the transatlantic slave trade.
You don’t get to separate Ghana from slave-trading kingdoms when those same traditional authorities are still constitutionally recognized and wield influence today.

@nithyavraman As mayor of Los Angeles you should put a stop to this use of speeding cameras as a driving tax.
This is about revenue not safety.
Nearly 100,000 speeding violations in just nine days. That’s what Malibu’s new cameras recorded on Pacific Coast Highway.

American Descendants of Slavery were attacked, demonized and labeled as Trump supporters by democrats for advocating for reparations and a Black agenda.
Once again, the call is coming from inside the house.

The first part of Talarico’s response to this question seems very basic and it sounds like what you would expect a political candidate to tell fourth graders.
Secondly, I take issue with people answering questions about Black people with “Black and brown.”

Black and brown is a political default when they talk to us but when they talk to Hispanics it’s never and I mean never “brown and black” they never say that to them we have got to start knowing when we are being disrespected and start acting accordingly.

The relationship between law enforcement and Black American children must be addressed.

Selling this sports gambling is basically like selling drugs to the community.

People have rigged it in California. Boomers are living in large homes with #prop13 fixed taxes and through boomer yimby politics they also constricted housing construction. Many people that aren’t new buyers are paying 1500 or less. We have a horrible time based slope on housing cost in California due to right wing policy. evolve-ca.org/news/prop-13-m…

🚨BREAKING: Los Angeles County redirected $5 million from a wildfire housing fund to rent checks for households “impacted” by ICE — and they don’t check immigration status.
The program can pay up to $15,000 per rental unit.
County paperwork created “Category 3”: tenants facing hardship from “federal actions targeting immigrant communities.” Supervisors then moved wildfire and Affordable Housing Trust money into that bucket.
The original pot was sold as help for Eaton and Palisades fire tenants and landlords. Half of a $10 million fire housing allocation went the other way. More trust-fund dollars followed unless fire victims still had unpaid needs.
Meanwhile, thousands of fire families are still waiting to go home.

Have you stopped hiring American actors?

This has been the case in California for 20 years. In my view in large part due to #prop13 and also lack of building new homes. A bunch of #boomerhooked thirty year olds masking a collapse has been our story.
And no one really cared. Now it’s a national phenomenon and it’s mainstream news.
Housing is so damn expensive...check out this quote:
"It requires a little fortune, now, to buy a house, and every article of furniture costs about three times as much as it did ten years ago."...
...from 1866.
"Regarding expectations, it’s noteworthy that the young are the most pessimistic age cohort today. It wasn’t always like that. Since at least 1980, the 55+ age cohort was consistently gloomier than the 18-34 cohort, but this has changed over the past decade, and it flipped in 2025
The adage that “happiness is reality minus expectations” is a reasonable starting point to explain the despair. Something is askew in how the young view money and wealth."

From armed robberies to reports of wig and prescription-glasses thefts, residents say criminals are targeting increasingly personal items.
Is the return of wig-snatching an unusual crime trend, or evidence of broader concerns about urban security and economic pressures?

I fixed Nikole Hannah-Jones' headline.
Nikole Hannah-Jones and her 16-year-old daughter Najya had a poignant and at times tense conversation about parenting and school inequality on the new episode of ‘This American Life.’ Here are some of the most notable moments. nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

Ghana nor any African country should be leading or having any discussion when it comes to reparations. The Gold Coast (modern day Ghana) was one of the areas where enslaved people were trafficked from. African rulers from that region actively engaged in slave trading.
