Good to see SB50-shelving Portantino is getting state money to bring a tech hub to his district. So where will all those tech workers live? What will happen to the people who live there now? latimes.com/socal/glendale…
Also nice to see him taking credit for the Glendale Narrows bridge without ever mentioning the $20 million that @laurafriedman43 got which made the whole project possible a43.asmdc.org/press-releases…
Let's get more people to work in Glendale but make them commute two hours each way, it worked out great for Silicon Valley!

This morning, LA County's Board of Supervisors will vote on a new building for LACMA. @LangeAlexandra and I walked the campus discussing the role of museums in cities, the controversy surrounding the design, and how the new LACMA must meet the street. la.curbed.com/2019/4/8/18300…
When LACMA revealed the original Peter Zumthor design back in 2013, the museum planned a huge exhibition featuring a detailed architectural model and additional context for the design that was publicly displayed for months. la.curbed.com/2013/6/6/10235…
Since then, the design has undergone at least four revisions, with major changes to the size, shape, color, form, materials, and even the location of the building. la.curbed.com/2019/3/25/1828…

I spent three months reporting what I have come to believe is the most critical issue that a majority of us—not just Californians, but all Americans—don't understand about our climate crisis. curbed.com/a/texas-califo…
It all started when I read @mateosfo's tweet and then @currymel's story about a historic meeting in June where California's top climate and transportation agencies got together in a room—FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Californians will have to drive less to achieve our climate goals—1.6 miles less per person per day, in fact. But the people who are allocating funding for our transportation systems are still building more places to drive. curbed.com/a/texas-califo…

Venezuela has emerged from the US attacks on its electrical system.
By @MaxBlumenthal
Terrible news for Little @marcorubio @AmbJohnBolton & Guadio’s gang, but great news for the people of Caracas:

The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.

So, the past few weeks has seen a growing public awareness in the UK of how the far-right, especially the religious far-right, in the US likes to operate, and likes to use willing, if witless, pawns to do their bidding.

The name that's been making the headlines recently...

1/n
is The #Heritage #Foundation. But what, exactly, does The Heritage Foundation espouse? What is it's driving ideological foci?

And the answer to that, if you care one iota for women, or for LGBTQI+ people, is grim to say the least.

This is an organisation that states:

On SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Laws):

"SOGI laws are about forcing all Americans to embrace—and live out—certain beliefs about human sexuality. They are not about protecting the freedom of people to live as LGBT, but about coercing everyone else to...
