Plus: a round-up of local news, including the officially defunct soda ban, labor deals and the reunification of a group of independent Democrats with their fellow party members; homeless people in Los Angeles can now legally live in their cars; and an anonymous Kenyan LGBT-rights activist discusses his work.
