The Week in Short Videos

Leg. wrap, the highway expansion being built for ducks, and pushing back on Trump misinformation.

The embeds below are from TikTok, but you can view our other videos at Instagram, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

This week we posted three videos on our short video channels, two of which focused on providing less-than-a-minute summaries on two news stories. The other re-debunked some fake news from the summer because the misinformation was repeated this week by President Donald Trump.

On Monday, we posted the TikTok version of our legislative update, the text version was also published on Monday.

It should be a no brainer to stop a highway project that will be underwater, but it's shown remarable tenacity.#streetsblogcalifornia GavinNewton #climatechange

Comment on Metro L.A. River Path Project by Monday, February 2

I have some strong opinions about the L.A. River walk/bike path. I have advocated for L.A. River bikeways since the 1990s. I wrote a book about the L.A. River.
