  1. The hottest tea, the spiciest gossip, the fiercest commentary and no fucking censorship. We are the Los Santos VIXEN. Hope you've been doing your kegels, babe. Letter from the editor: Sis, stop reading the story and BE the story. Submit your gossip to our handy and under-fucking-utilized gossip submission form. Chop chop.

LSVIXEN XOXO ❤️ A Vixen's Guide: To Entrusting Others With Power Deep breaths everyone, I know... it's election season and the talking heads have been trotted out of their respective enclosures. If you're getting that sticky-yicky feeling from people you have never met before in your life now approaching you with glaring smiles online and in person assuring you that they truly care and that they've always cared, I am happy at least to inform you that you aren't alone. Politics attracts a range of personalities. There are the populists who will tell you what you want to hear but also get steamrolled by whoever shouts the loudest at their rallies. There are the ones that fancy themselves shrewd politicians, ever always with an answer that spin spin spins away any negativity or aims to destabilize the critic. And there are those in it because they intend to stand up for their community. Rare as the last category may be, they still do exist. But how can we tell the difference? I wish I had an easy blood test to figure out which people have lizard blood and which ones are hot-blooded humans, but I don't. What I do have is a phenomenal sense of detecting bullshit however and instead of playing the shit-sniffing dog for you all each and every cycle, I am going to let you in on the way my mind works. What's the saying... yeah let me uh... "teach you to fish" or whatever. Questions to Ask Yourself, When Asked About Your Needs 💮 Any political schmuck worth their weight in salt is going to ask you what issues you're concerned about. That's an attempt to figure out what you most care about so they can swing around and provide you with the strongest assurance that they are the ones to trust on that issue. But we are human beings, we are complex. Can our desires, our dreams, our hopes, and our aspirations be boiled down to issues? I don't particularly think so. These are some questions I ask myself each election cycle. May they help you to identify where the role of the politician may grease the wheels on your personal journey. Controversial opinion time. Money isn't the goal. It's a tool used to get your goals. If you want a house, more often than not you want a sense of security. If you want the recognition that having money brings, more often than not you desire a sense of being seen and respected. All the luxuries that money brings have core reasonings like this and it's important to realize what the underlying desires are. And the needs of our neighbors are equally important because let's say I don't feel safe in my neighborhood because of something like crime. Well, if my neighbors had more opportunities to make money legally and had more pathways to success, they'd be less likely to commit crimes and both me and my neighborhood would be safer. In short, their success and safety secures my ability to be safe and successful. With those questions in mind, what do you ask when you meet a politician? They want something from you. Your vote. Your support. Your acceptance. Maybe even your love and adoration. When they ask you what you need, they're asking you to put a price on it. Questions for Them, Putting a Price on Your Faith. ⭐ At my core, I'm an optimist. I want to believe that when people tell me they care that they truly care, but I've lived on this earth for almost three decades and I do in fact know better than to trust someone at their word. Their word however still is important. If a politician tells you for example that they are going to "look into" an issue such as tribal recognition or public housing initiatives, do not take their word for it, ask for their number, ask for a follow up discussion, send them materials. The moment your attention diverts from the issue is the moment they have succeeded at moving onto the next issue of the week without addressing the first. Here are some questions to ask politicians seeking your support. If they can survive this battery of questions, they may even deserve it. I know a lot of these seem redundant but they aren't. The deeper the candidate must dig themselves in, the more authentic they must appear. By switching topics, they can appear authentically surface level passionate about pretty much any topic, but the more you go into painful detail, the more you ask for written evidence and proof of conviction, the more evident it will become whether they want to authentically show you with pride the efforts they have undertaken and will undertake on your behalf or whether they simply want your vote and will hope your attention span won't bridge into the actual calendar year. Ugh, what's the fucking point, dude. It's all fucked. 😥 I know. I know. I'm not dumb. I've been disappointed by politicians and bosses before. I've held my hope out only for it to be slapped down. I'm not going to ask you to pretend those experiences never happened or that they will never happen again. But if you have the energy and the strength, I do have a favor to ask of you. The more people who passionately and full-heartedly ask the above questions of themselves and candidates, the more likely we are to get the type of leadership we deserve. The politicians of years gone by have thrived in anonymity and silence on all levels of government. They crave your involvement briefly during the election cycle and then they pray for your attention being diverted. Intense questions like the above show them a new kind of public that requires a new standard of effort and it's my hope that maybe, just maybe, it'll produce even one or two of the types of community heroes we deserve. You can mock me because I'm hopeful, but I'd rather have some clear-sighted, active, and energetic hope than be exhausted with a well-founded but tiresome apathy. When in doubt. Support each other. 🔥 We can't always wait for the right ones to come by. This means two things. One is supporting one another the best we can. Your neighbor might be short on rent money and if you're in a time of plenty, it can only make the world a little less shitty if you help out. The old lady might be hands full on groceries, open that door your fuckin' schmuck. It's a nice thing to do. Little kindnesses make a better world. The more people that do little kindnesses and well... it adds up. The second thing we can do is become the leaders we wish to see in the world. If you care about your community, I urge you to talk to your neighbors about their needs, identify which ones everyone keeps mentioning, and find the people who are supposed to be responsible for its solution or resolution. If you keep doing this and if you make real change, you become the type of leader we deserve. All in All. 💋 The final thing I'll mention is that each and every election is a job interview. We are the potential bosses of these politicians. They have to prove to us that they can do the job and that they are prepared to do the job. Even when they get in power, we have the ability to fire them through popular will. This is one area the Karens have trained us well for. If they fuck up, speak to the manager. If that manager fucks up, speak to corporate (aka the Governor). But never ever get it twisted that these individuals are superior to us or derive their power from anywhere but us and our public mandate. Do not forget. You are their bosses. They are your employees. Love you, cuties. ❤️ XOXO, DISCLAIMER >Comments are enabled!

  4. Hey there! I was wondering what actually is GTA World's position within the US system? I know we have been told we are roleplaying the 51st State of San Andreas, as island state in the Pacific Ocean. But that makes me wonder; are we really? States have legitimate primairy's and can vote in presidential elections, yet we did not have such events in the past. Legit states also have representatives in the House and 2 senators per state in the Senate. Obviously; we can't have that. This leaves us with numerous options; Organised, Unincorporated Territory Like Puerto Rico, Guam and Mariana Islands. We are self-governing with a State and City government (organised), but that all of the US Constitution does not automaticly apply to the island (unincorporated). These territories are pretty much treated as a state. The main difference is that people in OUT's can not vote in Presidential elections and that the Congress members can only observe, not participate. Unorganised, Unincorporated Territory Like Howland Island, Navassa Island, Jarvis Island, Wake Island and Kingman Reef. These places have no local government and the US Constitution does not automaticly apply here. Given we do have a local government and the US Constitution applies with us, the least likely option. Citizens can not vote in presidential elections. Unorganised, Incorporated Territory Only one; Palmyra Atoll. It is an uninhabited nature reserve, but the US Constitution does apply here. We are clearly inhabitated, so this automaticly rules out this option. Citizens, if people live there one time, can not vote in presidential elections. Organised, Incorporated Territory No current territory has reached this spot, and it is a ''transition place''; right before becoming a state, the territory is moved to this category. It has a self governing body (organised) and and the US Constitution fully applies to the territory. This spot was last occupied IRL by Hawaii and Alaska. Citizens can not vote in presidential elections. The two most likely options are either the Organised, Unincorporated Territory, or the Organised, Incorporated Territory. What are your takes on this? Where in the below graph is ''San Andreas''?
  5. Mayoral Elections Announcement The last couple of months have been a beautiful, exciting challenge to work together alongside my colleagues to push for legislation, reform and policy. I am nothing short of satisfied and proud with their investment and work, alongside everyone else that has supported us. Before I go ahead, I would like to thank everyone for the time, dedication and investment put into this campaign. Throughout adversities and positive situations, we continued to work, and help each other towards completing our dreams. To each member of my team, my most sincere gratitude. The Democratic Party has been and is a formation, a platform to give people a voice, and offer them the chance to help the community, the people of San Andreas. Your votes have given us the chance to showcase our platform, our values and our policy. However, the Democratic Party is a formation that appreciates and extends an invitation to everyone towards a cooperative work in order to make Los Santos and Blaine County, a safer, resourcesful and welcoming place to live in. Policy and iniative can come from anyone, it's not only good if it's Democratic Party sourced. There are good people, non partisan, and from the other side of the aisle that have good propositions and legislature to further our State towards prosperity. To that effect, the Democratic Party supports the Policy, not just partisanship, as do I. As a result my view and our Party's view, I have decided to step down from the Mayoral Campaign and officially endorse the Independent Candidate, Malikah Saleh. Regardless of political colors, it is the platform that we support, and Miss Saleh has shown utmost dedication towards what I believe in, what our Party believes in. To that extent, I want to support Miss Saleh's independent campaign for a better Los Santos. It's the ideal course of action to unite Platforms, rather than run against each other, when our interests, our values and principles, are shared. Change through hard work. And that is what Malikah Saleh offers. With that, she has my vote, and my endorsement. Forward Together, Charles Galloway Chairman of the Democratic Party of Los Santos Comments are disabled.
  6. District Councillor Candidates Confirmed ADRIAN WINTER The Office of the City Clerk has confirmed the finalised list of candidates taking place in the upcoming District Council elections in an exclusive, late-night update to LSNN.

Polling stations will open up in each district at 6am on the 25th of September 2020, and will close at 6pm on the 27th of September 2020. During this time, residents of each local area will have the chance to choose who will represent them as District Councillor.
