Artists. Activist. Neighbor

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

In the middle of the worst pandemic in a century, Trump won’t help people get the relief they need – but he will ram through an illegitimate Supreme Court nominee to rip away Americans' health care. So much for the art of the deal. This is despicable. https://t.co/08kKOQfhER

Black bishops standing out in front of St. John's this morning decrying Trump's photo op from yesterday.

Note: "God is on the side of the oppressed" is a classic axiom of liberation theology.

However, "Your hands are too small to box with God" is a newer one.

Love this.

The bozos at Keep LA Moving and Restore Venice tried to flog this narrative that the protected bike lane on Venice Blvd was killing businesses. Which makes this story, and the reality that the stretch is more vital now, so freaking delicious.

"no crime"

[KeepRowenaSafe @KeepRowenaSafe]

A sheriff's deputy was killed by a driver after helping an elderly woman who had fallen in a crosswalk. Since the driver stayed at the incident there was "no crime" according to @LAPDChiefMoore https://t.co/DK95Da6Efm

We need more women on the City Council. We need representatives who will serve our communities, not selfish, political interest. Join me in supporting for @cyndi2020 for CD14. Kick in $20 and ask 5 friends to do the same. Comment when done! #ReadyToWork #HereToServe #Integrity

[SmartGalsGo @SmartGalsGo]

@cyndi2020 @MetaScanlon @jrboxer66 @jessica_meaney @Craven7Jessica @EAPDLA @imanitolliver @rrrleLA @omswtom Cyndi needs $10k more to draw down ALL the public matching funds L.A. has to offer - that's one way to make sure grass roots candidates have a voice. Your $20 will get her there and get our city on track to support families and neighborhoods first!

[SmartGalsGo @SmartGalsGo]

This is but a retweet...and I have more to say on why I support @cyndi2020 for City Council.

[SmartGalsGo @SmartGalsGo]

Yes! This is why I stand with Warren.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

My goal is to get elected—but I plan to be the last American president to be elected by the Electoral College. I want my second term to be elected by direct vote.

[SmartGalsGo @SmartGalsGo]

Yes! We need some equity on the City Council, starting with more women and more importantly, candidates like @cyndi2020 who are refusing Real Estate Developer Money (as is @Dan4Glendale and I believe @LoraineForLA) #communityfirst #equity #electamom

So happy to see that @bikethevote has also endorsed @nithyavraman for #CD4 . I so appreciate her firm stance on developer donors, and will be carving out some donation funds soon.

[Bike The Vote L.A. @bikethevote]

#BikeTheVote LA has made a 2nd endorsement in #CD4 of @nithyavraman! CD4 voters have an incredible opportunity with two inspirational leaders who understand transportation equity and are ready to take action on safe streets. Read our statement: https://t.co/yLEwIpTWps

Nearly 2 decades ago, I wrote the audio tour for the Battleship Wisconsin and had the honor of interviewing veterans who'd served on the ship from WWII to Desert Storm. We may not all be called to direct military service, but we connect through personal stories. #veteransday2019

@LARiverCEE @Metrolink @MayorOfLA @GavinNewsom @Metrolink also prides itself on serving "car owners", so while they pollute the air in low income communities, their target rider is a wealthier person who opts not to drive, while commuting many miles, which also dirties the air with diesel emissions. #COPD #Cancer

[SmartGalsGo @SmartGalsGo]

@LARiverCEE @kdeleon Monica Garcia and her pro charter dollars also not great re gentrification.

[SmartGalsGo @SmartGalsGo]

@KTLA @DetectiveMoses Horrifying.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

June 2019 - hottest June on record
July 2019 - hottest month on record
August 2019 - second-hottest August on record
September 2019 - hottest September on record
October 2019 - hottest October on record

This is a climate crisis. A Green New Deal is the only sufficient response.

[SmartGalsGo @SmartGalsGo]

Thank you for posting this, .@nithyavraman . I recently got invited to join a local club and "vote" for or against their picks. One of the things I like about being an @EAPDLA member, is people can't join simply to vote for a certain candidate the night of an endorsement meeting.

[Nithya Raman @nithyavraman]

Recently I was sent an endorsement questionnaire by a large Democrat club in LA.

Then I found out my opponent, David Ryu, just gave a $2,500 personal donation to the club. During the endorsement process.

This week, we told the club we won't be seeking their endorsement anymore.
