Karen Bass BEEN showing us she's caping for LAPD. Question is... What are we gonna do about it? An oldie, but goodie in @LAPublicPress

While Bass proposed 1,600 layoffs of city workers affecting housing, roads and climate programs, she shields the LAPD — the same department that recently endorsed her re-election amid her $1-billion...

🚨 LAPD is on track to hire more officers than the City budgeted and approved for. What does this mean for the budget?

“…something stinks around here…”
According to city planners, we won't understand how venue costs for the 2028 Olympics will be covered until 2027, despite a record 11 year lead time for LA28 Games.

We asked @AfriKicks to withdraw the award they’re planning to give the chief thief at @Blklivesmatter @Cicley_Gay. They won’t, so tonight it’s a turn up. Meet us at the @TaglyanComplex in Hollywood. #NoHonorForThieves

Powerful days refusing to give in to white-supremacist capitalism. How do we build beyond #BoycottTarget? #BlackXmas was birthed more than 10 years ago in the name of #JohnCrawfordIII, killed by police inside a Walmart. #BuildBlack #BuyBlack #BankBlack

I probably never would’ve run for office if it wasn’t for the City of LA’s matching funds program. Matching funds makes it possible for clean money candidates to compete with big money. Live in the City of LA? You get matched 6x! $50 = $300 $100= $600 https://t.co/7KCcqW9Ghr

My thoughts on the #Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani victory and what it could mean for the people. Column in the @LAProgressive.... https://t.co/GtqyyewbVH

Zohran’s election is not primarily about him. It is about what is possible and what the people are doing and must do for ourselves.

What we witnessed last Tuesday was not a “blue wave,” it was a rising resistance to counter Trump’s fascism and the corporate taking of this country. The people’s intent underlying their vote is...

As of today, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
