Far-right council members in Huntington Beach introduce agenda item to switch focus to US wars and America’s independence

The southern California city of Huntington Beach, a bastion of conservative voters, has made the move to block diverse monthlong celebrations of Black history, women’s history and Pride, in favor of observing the revolutionary and civil wars, California’s history and America’s independence.

An agenda item introduced on 19 December forbids any programming that pertains to previously established honorary celebrations for women, people of color and LGBTQ+ groups from taking place on city-owned property, including libraries, or of being featured in city communications such as social media posts, according to Natalie Moser, a city council member who voted against the action.

    That quote about heavy metal contamination has no citation. I looked it up and couldn’t find anything info on it.

    You can see oil platforms from the beach at Huntington, but they’re not spewing oil all the time. The issue in 2021 was an anomaly.

    There’s no reason to act like the place is disgusting just because their city council is stupid. It’s one of the best beaches in CA.
