There’s a disturbing trend in LA politics that the media isn't talking about: More and more candidates are running as Democrats, but hiding the fact that they’re backed by right-wing Republicans. It’s happening in CD4, where I live, and it’s going to work unless we stop it. 🧵

Happening now🇵🇸: San Francisco protestors shut down the freeway and calling for complete ceasefire in Gaza.

Israel has dropped almost 30,000 bombs and shells on Gaza in 100 days, eight times more than the US aimed at Iraq in six years of war. It’s not war. It’s genocide.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 LAHSA report finds that the City of LA's anti-camping ordinance (LAMC 41.18) is INEFFECTIVE when it comes to: • Housing unhoused people AND preventing their return to encampments in 41.18 zones Criminalizing homelessness does not solve it. It makes it worse. 🧵

“We often refer to [Barbara Lee] as ‘OG Squad,’” said Rep. Ayanna Pressley. “We could not do what we do — show up fully, authentically, unapologetically — if Barbara Lee hadn’t kicked that door down and verbally hadn’t broken those concrete ceilings.” 19thnews.org/2024/03/barbar…

Arbitrarily banning vending around Los Angeles hurts our communities - it pushes our city's most vulnerable and hard-working entrepreneurs into the shadows and hurts our economy and local families. It's also illegal.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Oh wowww… hear the crowd erupt 🤯
