✍️ PETITION ✍️ When the winds came and the fires burned our community to the ground this past January, we experienced a disaster on a scale we never could have imagined. Now, we are experiencing a second disaster: families are not getting the financial resources they need to stay on their land in Altadena and rebuild. We are witnessing the historic Black community of West Altadena being pushed out. Many of us are still paying mortgage payments on houses that are no longer standing. Many of us don’t have insurance or the insurance isn’t paying. Some of us are even facing foreclosure. So many of us are still figuring out where the money to rebuild is going to come, or how to hang on in the interim - debating whether we can hold out until we get our settlement money from Southern California Edison, which could be a few years away. Gov. Newsome passed AB 238 in September, offering up to a year of mortgage forbearance — but it’s not enough. It relies on homeowners to opt in, and excludes many elderly and displaced residents. With the outstanding cases against SoCal Edison not expected to resolve until 2027, that’s too little, too late. That's why we are asking Gov. Newsom to Freeze All Fire-Related Foreclosures in Altadena — Keep Altadena Families On Their Land! https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-foreclosures-call-for-immediate-moratorium-on-altadena-foreclosures

A California Democrat whose district and constituents have been targeted by ICE raids took a shot at first lady Melania Trump after President Donald Trump said that ICE should continue its aggressive policies, The Daily Beast reports Monday.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA), who represents the Golden State's 34th District, wrote this on X:

"Haven't gone far enough?? Any further and ICE will be deporting Melania..."

Chinese Massacre of 1871

Tue Oct 24, 1871

The Chinese Massacre of 1871 was a race riot that occurred on this day in Los Angeles, California when a mob of around 500 white and mestizo people entered Chinatown and attacked, robbed, and murdered Chinese residents.

The massacre took place on Calle de los Negros, also known as "Negro Alley". The mob gathered after hearing that a policeman had been shot and a rancher killed by Chinese immigrants. Historian John Johnson described the ensuing violence as the "largest mass lynching in American history".

An estimated 17 to 20 Chinese immigrants were hanged by the mob in the course of the riot, but most had already been shot to death. At least one was mutilated when someone cut off a finger to get his diamond ring.

Ten members of the mob were prosecuted, eight were convicted of manslaughter. The convictions were overturned on appeal due to various technicalities.

I can see this community is very much crickets but maybe someone would have some insight...

If pCloud has a facility in Austin, TX USA - then its EU storage ain't shit for privacy because of the US CLOUD Act, right?

Why would anyone pay more when the vulnerability is built into the company? Or am I reading that wrong?

CLOUD Act says even if the EU protects the user data privacy because it's stored in the EU, if the company storing it is US based and/or if the company storing it has facilities also in the US, that leaves them open to subpoena.

Thoughts?

Find alternatives to calling the Los Angeles Police Department.

Typically, people call the police because they are experiencing or perceive an emergency and need immediate assistance. In order to provide the most effective alternatives to calling the police or 911, unless otherwise indicated, the resources included here are limited to those that offer immediate assistance through emergency or crisis services.

The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) is a State of California initiative that provides funding for income qualified residential customers to install solar and battery storage systems on residential property. Solar panel systems provide residents with the ability to generate their own electricity, while battery storage systems can store electricity for use during peak rate periods or in the evenings when solar production decreases.

Every SGIP project will help enhance grid reliability, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote clean energy. It also supports LADWP’s goal to ensure equitable access to clean energy.

Just wanted to ping you all to ask what the deal is with Tennessee driving all the way to Los Angeles? We assume they're off duty ICE cunts but what is it with Tennessee in general? We have seen an uptick in red state plates in the area. Some Virginia, Utah, Georgia, Florida, and so on but Tennessee is out repped. Any idea why?
