The status quo embodied in “the law,” as we know it, is about as useful to Critical Justice as a bag of Dirty Confederate flags. #JusticeForBreonnaTaylor

Great metaphor for going to law school then having to take the CA Bar exam 🤣🤣🤣 #IYKYK

In 2018, I was elected the first Black member of the Culver City Council in the city's 100+ year history. Monday night, I was sworn in as the city’s first Black Mayor.

The significance of this accomplishment is not lost on me given our city’s history as a sundown town.

Fact, this buffoon looks down when she sees me at the Capitol, this whole story is made up. Sad she thinks bigotry gets her clout.

Anti-Muslim bigotry isn’t funny & shouldn’t be normalized. Congress can’t be a place where hateful and dangerous Muslims tropes get no condemnation.

Data-driven policing is used to terrorize residents of South Central in service of gentrification and white supremacy.

Read what Nipsey Hussle’s brother and the families of people killed by LAPD said about this violence and our research, from @SamTLevin: https://t.co/f2EAgwLTke

[Stop LAPD Spying Coalition @stoplapdspying]

We often hear in our organizing that police are like an occupying army. Throughout history, occupying forces have used surveillance to control populations that threaten them. AUTOMATING BANISHMENT sets an organizing agenda to abolish data-driven policing. https://t.co/GE1i8ZC6f5

Let's be clear about what is actually at stake with Sheriff Villanueva refusing to enforce the @CountyofLA vaccine mandate.

The number one killer of law enforcement officers nationwide this past year has been COVID.

[People's City Council - Los Angeles @PplsCityCouncil]

.@LACoSheriff is literally just making shit up! He doesn’t have the stats to actually back it up.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

The fear mongering regarding CRT is aimed at banning all teaching of substance on the past and current devastation of white supremacy/racism.

It is cruel to quote my father, who was assassinated for working to eradicate racism, poverty and militarism, to facilitate that fear.

[#LAPCFails @LAPCFails]

Item 4B on this weeks agenda is about LAPD's "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plan," responding to @mayorofla's 2020 directive about "racism in city government." On the team that made the report is Sgt. Ryan Lee, who murdered #GrecharioMack in 2018. https://t.co/t5QyFRbrAQ

Today a decertification process was made law with a signature from @GavinNewsom.

Proud of the leadership of Senator Bradford and honored to have added on as a coauthor.

@CrashBarbosa @EunissesH That’s troubling about the weaponization

[SURJ Marin @SURJMarin]

Police officers engaging in anti-Black racism and abuse of their power creates unsafe communities. CA has an obligation to ensure their badges are permanently taken away when they commit serious misconduct. Pass #SB2 @APTPaction

[LifeIsComplex @LifeIsComplex2]

@AdamOfTheSmiths I’ve seen these in Culver City too and they ridiculous propaganda. Unless you want to be a domestic terrorist of Black, Brown and marginalized folks… smh #DefundThePolice

[Justice Teams Network @JusticeTeamsNet]

KILLER COP ALERT 🚨

Vallejo PD is one of the most deadly police departments in the country. Remembering the violence enacted by Jarrett Tonn, Sean Kenney and Dustin Joseph is a reminder that we need a police decertification process that protects our communities! #SB2 #LetUsLive
