Vote for Derrick ! Such a standout guy. We need more like him in politics! Funny enough the only other people I know in Santa Monica I also know via NOLA … it’s @JudithnbJudith & her husband the one and only Derek Smalls @theharryshearer !! Vote Derrick, Derek!
For Taylor.
LA County and Santa Monica spend millions on nonprofits that bill per head instead of changing lives, where CEOs collect six figures and some facilities allegedly keep clients sedated because a drugged patient is a repeat customer.
Services get charged for that were never delivered. No audits. No consequences.
Sober living homes/rehabs operate with limited oversight. Humans are trafficked for insurance payouts.
This isn't compassion. It's a business model that can't afford for the customer to get better. The money should fund real treatment for addiction and mental illness.
Citizens. Families. Workers. People with a future who deserve independence. That means work programs and real pathways out, not a revolving door.
I'm looking forward to defending those who can't stand up for themselves and holding nonprofits accountable, paid only on success.
I'm running for Santa Monica City Council to break this cycle. This has stayed quiet long enough. I won't. This is my mission.
Remember to vote on or before November 3rd
A Higher Standard for Santa Monica
Derrick Townsend for Santa Monica City Council
This is on YOU, @KarenBassLA, @YsabelJuradoLA, @NathanHochmanDA and @johnmckinney_.
McKinney wants your vote to be the next LA City Attorney and @nathanhochman will soon seek a second term as LA County D.A.
Both dodge my questions and evidence.
They have all the power in the world to stop ALL of this horrendous #animalabuse, torture, neglect, breeding and drugging.
NONE of them have done a damn thing about it. They CHOOSE to live in denial at the animals' expense.
I would champion ANY politician of ANY stripe who made this a priority with RESULTS instead of talk.
The LA County District Attorney @NathanHochmanDA and his underling running for LA City Attorney @johnmckinney_ have intentionally avoided addressing a mountain of evidence of #animalcruelty in LA.
The have become political instead of honoring their oaths of office because they hide behind their media relations people, knowing full-well that there has been a quiet order by @MayorOfLA to not enforce the laws by @LAPDHQ, @LACityPets and other area law enforcement agencies.
Both have also dodged addressing evidence of government #corruption at these agencies including IDENTITY THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT and ANIMAL ABANDONMENT UNDER COLOR OF LAW.
McKinney wants LA's votes in the upcoming election and @nathanhochman will soon want a second term as DA.
They readily exploit animals for photo opps, and join @FBILosAngeles, @USAttyEssayli, @billessayli for press events, but in reality, they have both deeping contributed to and enabled the animals' unconscionable torture, suffering and death.
They continue dodging @joey_tuccio and myself.
PASS IT ON. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW IF THAT CHANGES. BUT WE WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
@joey_tuccio She is and will be useless. Go direct to HOJ to the @LADAOffice office. With hundreds of employees there maybe someone, anyone will give a crap. But probably not.
NATHAN HOCHMAN @NathanHochmanDA
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Is anyone at the helm of the DA of LA? Anyone at all?
You took your PR photos with those in animal rescue who are known in the community at the start of your campaign. You not only got voted in on the things you promised, you then went out of your way to get pictured with those that you knew would get you votes. Yet you fail to come through on your promises time and time again.
In fact, all we see at the DAs offices across the county are you at some type of parade in front of a historic vintage car with balloons in back of you being pictured as some stellar account of morality. ******Yet you fail to come through on the oath that you took to your community.
Not only is this disgusting, it is absolutely appalling and a degeneration and a De-evolution of life in this county.
Spare me the explanations on human versus pets, it does not matter. Anyone that’s lived here long enough can see the devaluation of all sentient life under your watch. And the mayor. @MayorOfLA@LACityCouncil@nithyavraman are guilty as well.
ALL OF YOU HAVE FAILED.
All OF YOU.
No, going to the back of the line, no divergent tactics, nothing will save you from the truth and the facts.
Don’t like it?
Do your god dang jobs and stop getting paid off by the highest bidder and selling your souls out.
G-d IS watching.
Whether you believe in a higher power or not, doesn’t concern me. It’s happening regardless of what you believe.
