Homelessness increased 122% the years immediately following the London 2012 Olympics. Youth Sports participation also decreased. That's the Olympic legacy.

"Turning LA28 into the Recovery Olympics should also sound familiar. In 2020, Tokyo Olympic organizers tried the same gambit in the wake of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster that hit Japan in 2011. Now the branding is being dusted off and spit-shined for LA"

Weird how every Olympic promise turns out to be a complete lie. Youth sports? Transit outcomes? The IOC and Olympic boosters don't care about any of this. It's all to con you into feeling good about the TV show and the capital being consolidated to produce it.

SO WEIRD HOW THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME x.com/NOlympicsLA/st…

This guy is shook right now. He knows we don't have the resources and labor to do both: 1) rebuild LA with any intention 2) host an Olympics

Also to clarify: there's no "good" way to host an Olympics, so we theoretically can only do one well and that's really up for debate right now.

Very strange how all the so-called non-Olympics building projects are actual Olympics projects. See also: the LA Convention Center, Belmont Plaza Pool, and likely many more

The “No Build Olympics” that requires building. The “Privately Financed Olympics” that requires all sorts of public funding and resources. These are the Garbage Games that no one asked for. Cancel them.

🚨 BREAKING: The Co-op has announced that it will implement the motion passed at its AGM last month by ending the sourcing of products from Israel. This is a major BDS victory! All Israeli whole products will now be removed from the shelves. co-operative.coop/media/news-rel…

🚨 Get Living increases its fire safety provision to FOUR HUNDRED & ELEVEN MILLION POUNDS in respect of remediation work to make East Village London safe! Uma Kumaran MP how was taxpayer funding used so recklessly. Those responsible must be held to account 🚨 #BuildingSafetyCrisis

Flat sales across East Village London continue to collapse due to the extent of fire safety remediation works required. We’ve called on Get Living & it’s pension fund investors to buy us out & let us move on with our lives. The response. Silence 🤫 🤐 #BuildingSafetyCrisis

Just a shame that the Olympic accommodation was built so poorly with the whole supply chain chasing profit over quality and safety. We need those responsible held accountable for such blatant disregard of taxpayer funding! #BuildingSafetyCrisis

Yet Bass invited them feds to come to LA 4.5 years before the Olympics, because she actually does't give a fuck about the Angelenos running the informal economies that make our city great. Who needs sanctuary when you've got spectacle.
