Watching Karen Bass be given her flowers for becoming the first woman and only the second Black person to be elected mayor of Los Angeles, I can't help but think of how much has changed in California over the past two years.
For it was in December 2020 that I had a long conversation with then-Assemblymember Shirley Weber about the "bleak" state of political power for Black women in this proudly liberal and diverse state.
At the time, she was irritated. Joe Biden, then the president-elect, had selected Kamala Harris to be his vice president, leaving her seat in the U.S. Senate vacant. Gov. Gavin Newsom was leaning toward picking then- Secretary of State Alex Padilla to replace her (and eventually did).
But Weber and a long list of other Black leaders were demanding that Newsom pick another Black woman — Bass or Rep. Barbara Lee of Oakland — instead. The San Diego Democrat told me about how hard it is for Black women to get elected to positions of real power in California, especially statewide.
And “if you don’t have a seat at the table,” she lamented, “then you’re on the menu.”
Back then, Black women in California were very much on the menu. But no longer.
Bass will soon be sworn in as mayor of the state's largest city after beating billionaire businessman Rick Caruso. Initially, it had appeared to be a close race. Then the vote-by-mail ballots started rolling in.
"This is my home, and with my whole heart, I'm ready to serve, and my pledge to you is that we will hit the ground running on Day One," Bass said in a statement after she was declared the victor on Wednesday night. "I am honored and humbled that the people have chosen me to be the next mayor of Los Angeles."
Her winning is a big deal. Not just because of the ceilings that the 69-year-old congresswoman is shattering, but because Bass was victorious despite Caruso spending more than $100 million to saturate L.A. in advertising and send canvassers door to door for votes.
Bass said that she "received a gracious call" from Caruso and hopes — as I do — that he "continues his civic participation in the city that we both love."

So
It sounds like when a couple of years ago, folks lied about Democrats in Chicago sponsoring job training for Venezuelans when it was really a non-profit run by a refugee, hosted by a Catholic organization, giving job training to 400 first-come, first serve applicants just like they do all over the country.These stories are outrage bait that tell half-truths. Check out @Bunchy Carter with the Phillip Scott link and his perpetually lying ass.

The Non-Profit CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles) received state and federal funding. CHIRLA received $35 Million in funding from California (California has a $12 billion budget deficit) and while Biden/Kamala was in office, Karen Bass help secure federal funding from the Dept. of Homeland Security for CHIRLA. The City of Los Angeles can not afford to foot the bill because we are in $1 Billion dollar short fall:
