Last month, Ben and I published our projection of the LA mayoral race, analyzing LA as 11 political neighborhoods. Now, presenting: After the Count. What do the per-cluster results say about Los Angeles' voting coalitions? How well did our project do? What do Raman and Bass need to do by November?

my evil plan failed (i wanted my boyfriend to find out the hard way that 1776 on tcm was a musical but he figured it out. but i got him locked in because he started watching during a lengthy scene that dramatizes roberts rules)
municipal malpractice to not shut down the streets in all of koreatown today, this is wild
koreatown world cup party immaculate “sí se puede” chants broke out as soon as korea scored a goal
i got home from my tonys party before my boyfriend got home from his thing... should i show him cats' performance as soon as he walks in and explain how i never thought i'd actively root for cats to win something over ragtime and yet here we are today?

t a l@talevy.soccer · 3mo agoI've created a tracker for the contested races I'm following at 2026-warroom.talevy.soccer, which allows you to tune estimates of remaining ballots and expected percentage. As more info comes in from the LA County Recorder I'll update it to plug in my best guesses.

Boycotts are necessary! Big protests are necessary! Economic blackouts are necessary! Workers calling out sick or taking time off to support these causes is necessary! Mutual aid is BEYOND necessary! But they are not strikes.
insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!
