On Memorial Day 2017, I woke up to find myself on the front page of the @latimes. It was a story about avoiding burnout under Trump and finding resilience in the work for justice with love, understanding, and compassion. We need this more than ever today under Trump 2.0 💖🙏

#MentalHealthAwarenessMonth is a reminder to pause and reset.

Feeling overwhelmed on or off duty? Watch “Treading Water,” a behavioral health seminar from LA Firefighter/Paramedic Beau Porter, for quick tools to manage stress in the fire service: https://t.co/V3INGESJus

For every life lost, at least 135 people are affected. That means more than 6.5 million people experience the ripple effects of suicide every year. Family members. Friends. Entire communities. 💙

With our partners at @pukuu_ccs, we passed our motion declaring this week to be Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) Awareness Week.

MMIP is an epidemic, especially for young people in this community -- let's all do our part to raise awareness.🔴

I’m ordering flags to be flown at half-staff as we pay our final respects to Reverend Jesse Jackson ahead of his interment this weekend.

Reverend Jackson’s lifetime of lessons and wisdom leaves a righteous path that is well prepared to carry forward his vision of a better world.

When help cannot wait, food assistance makes a difference.

Lidia sought food support after job loss, benefits ending, and losing her mother. Rue works full time but still struggles with rising costs.

Each month, 1M+ people turn to the LA Regional Food Bank and partner agencies for help.

Support neighbors year round by becoming a monthly donor. https://t.co/6FxYlYD2kX

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

Major news today —

In partnership with @SenatorAshby and @AsmMaggyKrell, we've secured a $50M investment from @Meta to transform three underutilized state buildings in downtown Sacramento into an affordable housing district for @SacState students, faculty, and staff.

Grateful for this partnership as work gets underway.

Derrick was on the verge of homelessness when he found @CovenantHouseCA, a @LAFoodBank partner agency.

One meal turned into hope, stability, and a new beginning.

���I’d never had anyone care like that.”

The Social Security Administration now says members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the agency last year accessed and shared sensitive data.

The disclosure seemed to confirm some key concerns first raised in a whistleblower complaint last summer filed by the agency’s chief data officer, Chuck Borges.

@IAmAmnaNawaz spoke to Borges and his lawyer, Debra Katz.
