If the residents of South Central LA up and moved to the Dakotas, Republicans would be a minority party forever, and the new residents would have 4 out of 100 senators doing their bidding, plus however many House seats they'd get with larger populations. 4% of the Senate! Actual political power! Real legislation written by their representatives! Visits by celebrities! Money lavished on your states to get out the vote on either side!

California would still be a blue state. I promise.

They could do the same for Nebraska and Kansas, but the Dakotas are superior, for they are closer to Resistance Canada than they are to 2025's Confederate yahoo fascistic states, e.g., Texas.

Sad but very understandable news:

The CycLAvia bike ride this weekend through South Central Los Angeles to Watts has been postponed, out of care for Los Angeles' communities during our city’s current situation.

Figueroa St South of the Coliseum.

I lived in this area from 1964 to 1975.

Went to elementary school on 61st & Fig.

It was already a human trafficking haven in the 1960's.

It's much worse now.

A Salvadoran storefront church opened up the street from my house a few weeks ago and most afternoons and evenings they sell just fantastic pan con pollo and pastelitos Savaldoreños, neither of which is very common as street food here.
