Angry Angelenos want to filet this bass.

Over 50,000 angry residents of Los Angeles are calling for the removal of Mayor Karen Bass through a recent petition. They criticize her for what they perceive as severe mismanagement in handling the destructive wildfires that have been affecting the city.

“We . . . urgently call for the immediate recall of [Bass] due to her gross mismanagement and failure to effectively respond to the devastating 2025 fires in and around the city,” reads the Change.org petition created Wednesday, which had amassed 56,000 signatures by Saturday morning. 

Bass was 7,400 miles away in Africa, at the inauguration of Ghana’s president, as flames began engulfing the City of Angels.

“Families have been displaced, homes destroyed, and livelihoods shattered –- yet Mayor Bass has been absent from the frontlines, choosing to travel abroad while her constituents suffer,” reads the petition, which calls for “a full, transparent investigation into the failures in disaster preparedness, response, and resource allocation that left [LA] vulnerable.”

Bass slashed $17.6 million from the Los Angeles Fire Department’s budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year — which critics blasted as “a bad call.”

Nearly 130,000 Californians have been under evacuation orders, and 11 people have perished.
