Good morning! On a weekday drive, stumbled into a Get Out The Vote event with 2 people against the recall. There were rumors of a counter protest from the right wing but currently two people in support of a no vote in Long Beach.
One counter protestor leaving the area currently. Image
A few pedestrians have stopped by and grabbed pamphlets and/or buttons. A few vehicles (like this one) have shouted obscenities in favor of the recall.
One large truck driving by with pro-Recall paraphernalia hanging out the back.
One bicyclist in a MAGA hat stole a pro-Biden flag from the anti-Recall Get Out The Vote side.
Things continuing with two GOTV people on the street corner, and the lone counter protestor having left the area. Signing off for now, happy Sunday!

I’m OTG at the UCLA Gaza Solodarity Encampment. A large group of pro-Israel demonstrators are around. One person from the encampment looks very hurt. Hundreds throughout the area.
Reports of fireworks being thrown towards the encampment. Seeing a plume of smoke (looks like just firework smoke for now) coming from near the encampment.
One person (I can’t say for sure which side he’s on) treating what appears to be a pepper spray injury.

Unlawful assembly called as pro and anti trans group converging on Glendale. 5 minutes given. Incorrectly assigning a crespo zone.
Earlier: even the press is testy
Several large scale fights. One person arrested (at least). Right wingers multiple times clubbing, including one attempt at hitting me in the groin.

Glendale police seem to be surrounding the much smaller group of pro-LGBT folks.
