I’m a former pro-Israel lobbyist and Senate staffer who has worked on legislation regarding Israel and Palestine for over 20 years.

@AOC’s proposal is one of most effective I’ve seen to actually hold Israel accountable under US and international law that it’s broken for decades.

Oh… I know all about those anti-union crypto billionaires that operate under the “GROW CA” PAC….

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

AIPAC and its allies have already spent $50 million this election cycle.

AI has spent $185 million.

Crypto has spent $288 million.

This is legalized bribery.

End Citizens United and move to the public funding of elections NOW.

I’ve written at length about what cost us the election in this essay:

No worker should be fired or disciplined by a machine. No employer should be able to watch their workers in break rooms or collect data to predict potential union activity. It’s time to put workers first in the technological age.

[Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher @LorenaSGonzalez]

Thank you @seiu_uhw (and @BernieSanders) for fundamentally changing this discussion on the national stage. Absolutely wouldn’t have been moving in this direction without bold union-driven leadership. ❤️

@rootchanj @alissami @OneLineage @HildaSolis Community has been asking @HildaSolis for a town hall since the 25,000 gallon crude oil spill a few weeks ago. Crickets.

[WendyCarrillo @wendycarrillo]

The @OneLineage fire continues to burn. The smoke and smell is very strong. Families with resources who could leave, left. Those with limited resources have stayed behind with no little to no support. Supervisor @HildaSolis is hosting a resource fair today from 1-6pm, who got the invite or notice? I don’t know. If you’re at work, call her office. Ask her to extend the hours. TELL HER TO DO HER DAMN JOB.

I wrote something on the #LineageFire and East Los Angeles.

“The smoke didn't ask whether you lived in Boyle Heights or East Los Angeles before entering your home or your lungs. The government did.”

Corporations responsible:

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

@wendycarrillo @OneLineage @HildaSolis Reminds me of the neighborhood where residents have been dealing with toxic 'debris' from the old Exide battery facility for - eons. And the off/on again cleanup efforts to cleanup the toxic dust/dirt that residents were left to deal with.

[WendyCarrillo @wendycarrillo]

@keith_johnson @OneLineage @HildaSolis You are 💯 correct in that assessment. It’s infuriating

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

This is not a normal statement from a normal cabinet member of a major nation. 

This statement from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir is the statement of a war criminal. 

The racist, extremist Israeli government does not deserve one nickel of U.S. support.

The Lineage Fire in Boyle Heights has cost LA taxpayers so far $3 Million. This is JUST for LAFD costs from June 17-21.

According to Lineage to CBS, Lineage is a tenant of the building owned by Chill Build LLC & the solar array on the building is ultimately owned by Altus Power.

[WendyCarrillo @wendycarrillo]

Hi @altuspower 👋🏼
The silence is loud.
As our communities continue to inhale potentially hazardous air and smoke, @onelineage has disclosed that @AltusPower is corporation that owns the rooftop solar farm.

I have a lot of questions, did they receive Ca state tax credits to install commercial scale solar? Did they use union labor and prevailing wages?

These questions may seem odd, but they are in line with the policy work I’ve done to jump start California’s Green Energy transition, AB2143. I authored the policy in 2022 and it went into effect in January 2024, and it mandates prevailing wage for commercial solar if they are taking advantage of state tax credits, which is NOT the same as residential. The wattage is at a much higher scale as is the installation.

This fire is an example as to why commercial property solar farms require the same rigorous oversight as traditional utilities when it comes to installation and operations.

My take away: large scale commercial renewable energy is not fool-proof, the installers are still corporations whose goal is to make money, and it all mandates transparency and accountability on all levels.

Meanwhile, babies, elderly and our most vulnerable residents are inhaling particle pollution that has been deemed as “very unhealthy” and borderline hazardous by @SouthCoastAQMD.

[WendyCarrillo @wendycarrillo]

Let’s call it what it is. Lineage and the rooftop solar company, Altus Power, that started the fire are responsible. Not the neighborhood, not the street. The COORPORATION operating a giant refrigerator and a rooftop solar farm in our community is responsible.

Boyle Heights, East Los Angeles and surrounding communities are impacted and suffering. We should ALWAYS put people over profits and NAME the companies responsible for polluting our communities.

The Boyle Heighst fire at the Lineage storage facility is impacting the air in Boyle Heights, East LA and Southeast LA the most. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (@SouthCoastAQMD) has a live feed on air quality across the state. This is how you can find out what our current quality of air is in our community.
