HOW CITY HALL FUNCTIONS 101

🚨 City Hall OVERSPENDS on a few departments

✂️ City Hall CUTS the budget/staffing of other departments to cover overspending

🤯 City Hall gets mad at those departments because they can't do all their tasks because they're short-staffed/under-funded

[Samuel Sinyangwe @samswey]

Fewer than half of all NYPD officers live in NYC and only 25% of LAPD officers live in LA. But keep talking about “outside agitators” coming onto campus to do violence.

Alex de Waal has covered famines in Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia. His prediction on Gaza:

"most intense famine since World War II."

"Even if the shooting ends today and the aid trucks begin to roll, the dying will carry on for some time"

Grim. Accurate.

“They elected Hamas”

Folks, every admin we’ve elected in the USA has bombed & terrorized these people for decades. So we’ll need to keep that same energy the next time we’re targeted because of who we elected

[Eric Barlow @ekbarlow]

Half (24/51) of these are charter schools, despite charter schools representing less than 30% of schools in the district. The district just adopted new policy to further limit charter schools, but is willing to take credit for their successes.

Fifty-one @laschools have just been named 2024 California Distinguished Schools. This prestigious honor celebrates schools across California that excel in closing achievement gaps and showcasing exceptional student performance through their remarkable commitment to excellence.

When we start being told the only way to balance the budget is cutting teachers, child care, and life saving social services…remember this 👇🏽

Judge Jill Pryor of the 11th Circuit on Alabama’s effort to execute Kenny Smith after a previous failed attempt to execute him by lethal injection: “The cost, I fear, will be Mr. Smith’s human dignity, and ours.”

We desperately need excellent journalists in Los Angeles. We desperately need trained professionals to hold people in power/officials accountable in the city and county...now more than ever. We also need journalists to have livable salaries, health benefits + a work/life balance.

Our statement on reports of a temporary cessation in violence and the return of Israeli and Palestinian women and children - and our continued demand for permanent and lasting ceasefire.

Great visit today from @ib2_real at @mscp_hs @STEMPrepSchools - thanks for encouraging our students to be themselves and change the world. With @thinktogether

Let’s be clear: the oppressor also needs liberation from their hatred and their stronghold over others. They need to be liberated from their racist and fascist idea of their power. They need to develop a commitment to justice and equality. Liberate both oppressor and oppressed!

[James E. Clyburn @RepJamesClyburn]

The American Rescue Plan’s expanded Child Tax Credit lowered child poverty substantially—most substantially for Black children. But with Republicans against extending the vital policy, progress has been reversed.

No child should live in poverty. We must restore the expanded CTC.

[Nalleli Cobo @NalleliCobo]

I'm calling on CA's lawmakers to support @SenGonzalez_33 #SB556 which would allow frontline communities to hold oil drillers responsible for making them sick. We can’t continue to prioritize corporate profits over the health and well-being of Californians.

[STAND-LA @STAND_LA]

20+ yrs ago @Planning4LA & @CityAttorneyLA made sure West LA kids wouldn’t play next to open-air, diesel-powered oil sites.

South LA is still waiting for the same protections. We cant wait 20 years for a phase-out.
