Border Patrol has been targeting the elderly heavily. Today in Santa Ana, that’s almost all they took, including this man and his cane.

NEW In January 2023, LAPD killed 3 people suffering mental health crises. In response, our Office assessed the LAPD’s Mental Evaluation Unit (MEU) & found that LAPD requires a patrol-first, armed response in mental health calls for service. Full report: https://t.co/pQen0oz7km

❗Don’t forget: Taxes are due TOMORROW (10/15)! Tax Day this year was postponed to October 15 for people in LA County. Don’t forget to file! https://t.co/pqcKbFePnh

Israel is still very much bombing Gaza. Civil defense reports that 40 Palestinians are either killed or under the rubble after an Israeli shelling of a residential building in Gaza city.

That’s a bomb about every 8 minutes, every hour, for 24 straight hours. On a starving civilian population, trapped in a strip of land the size of Philadelphia. After nearly two years of relentless attacks. The scale of Israel’s violence and atrocities is staggering.

The City of LA spent MILLIONS to avoid transparency and accountability by my Office and is going to do it again to have an outside monitor keep an eye on the city's homelessness spending and efforts! 🤯 BTW 🔎 Check out our homelessness dashboard at https://t.co/nuYcRbcrkL

happening now: Israeli army raiding the house of oscar winner Basel Adra after Israeli settlers attacked his village earlier and beat up his family member. Soldiers could try to abduct Basel into one of Israel's prisons which are effectively torture sites

The City must do everything in its power to protect Angelenos. As we’ve mentioned previously, in times of unprecedented attacks on our community, we call on all City leaders to fight and provide for our community. - Rent increase caps - Eviction moratorium - Water/power/food

Today is a dark day for LA. The Supreme Court ruled that ICE is allowed to racially profile people. Even when this was ruled illegal in July, ICE continued indiscriminate raids in LA. We fear more kidnappings of Angelenos by the federal government. https://t.co/MS2YzPLpwM

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! It’s the honor of my life to serve as your Los Angeles City Controller. I’m proud to announce that I am running for re-election.  Help us continue the fight to keep City Hall transparent and accountable! DONATE at https://t.co/7KCcqWae6Z VOTE on June 2, 2026

On this day 55 years ago in 1970, more than 20,000 people, mostly Chicanos, marched through East LA to protest the Vietnam War, systemic racism, police brutality & the disproportionate number of Mexican American soldiers dying overseas. It was called the Chicano Moratorium.

Did you know that my Office oversees OVER $35 BILLION as the city's independent financial watchdog? 🔎 Unfortunately, we are nowhere near being sufficiently staffed to provide that independent oversight that YOU all voted for because of the way the City Charter currently is. 😔

Anyway, it’s good to remember that when the Trump administration began this campaign to terrorize migrants, the response from the Dems was to brag that he wasn’t deporting and arresting as many as they did

This week marks the 60th anniversary of the Watts Uprising. The initial spark was a drunk driving arrest on August 11, 1965, but below the surface, the ensuing 6 days of civil unrest were fueled by years of neglect and alleged police abuses.

🚨 NEW AUDIT 🚨 We're auditing the City of LA's risk management practices to REDUCE HARM & LIABILITY PAYOUTS‼️ The City must do its best to manage risks before they lead to injuries, death, and the claims, litigation, & payouts that follow (a BIG reason for our budget deficit).

Today, federal agents targeted & arrested day laborers & street vendors at Home Depot despite a federal restraining order. People are hiding in fear. Our City should provide relief during these times: rent increase caps, eviction moratorium, and water/power & other necessities.

This can't possibly work to avert a stage 5 famine and so in effect merely provides cover for the holocaust to move to completion while allowing governments to feel like good humanitarians and say that they tried

I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined.
