Outside, the state is burning.
Inside, no one looks up.
They think someone else is handling it.
Someone is.
People you’ll never meet gave up everything to stand up.
Careers. Savings. Their families’ peace.
You never saw what it cost them.
And while the train kept rolling—
the votes were counted.
The state kept sliding.
You’re on this train.
Look up.
Before there’s nothing left to save.

No city, county, or nation is conquered while it’s awake. It’s surrendered in its sleep.

A state asleep can still be saved by the few who refuse to close their eyes. I’m one of them. So are many others. What was done in the dark, we’re going to put in the light. All of it.

@Shilohmarx Cleaning our voter rolls is mandatory to restore confidence in our elections. It starts with one simple principle: every legal vote counts once, and only once. Keep up the great work brother!

[Nick Wilson @nickwilsonca]

Seven years. One mission. The team that makes it possible, and the men and women we show up for.

[The Current Report @currentreportla]

The Los Angeles Police Department command staff #LAPD represented by the Command Officers Association (COA), just made it official:

They refused to contribute a single dollar to support the Los Angeles Police Protective League @LAPPL in pushing back against the Democratic Socialists of America agenda targeting the LAPD.

NOT ONE DOLLAR.

Let that sink in.

While rank-and-file officers are funding the fight, exposing what’s coming, organizing, and doing the heavy lifting, COA leadership and a majority of its members chose to sit it out.

According to the message, they were fully briefed on:
• Efforts to cut the LAPD budget
• Plans to reduce hiring and eliminate positions
• Moves to strip key units and operational authority
• Political campaigns that could reshape control of the department

And their response?

Do nothing.

This is the same pattern we’ve been seeing:

COA rides the coattails of the League when it’s time for raises…
But disappears when it’s time to fight.

They want the benefits.
Just not the responsibility.

At a moment when the department is under direct political pressure, command staff chose silence, optics, and self-preservation over standing with their own.

Three days ago, one of the unions representing LA County deputy sheriffs posted twice within 24 hours attacking the messenger over one question: where are the deputies’ hard-earned union dues going? We’re still waiting for an answer.

Where Your Dues Are Going. The Receipts.
If you’re a law enforcement officer in California, especially a deputy in LA County, you need to understand where your union dues have actually been going for the last decade.

I’m a medically retired police officer. I’ve watched our profession degrade for years. Through The Resiliency Project, the nonprofit I founded, my team & I hear the stories every day from cops across the country. The damage & exhaustion is real. The betrayal is real.

For years I’ve said that nothing kills the spirit of a law enforcement officer more than betrayal. I ran for State Assembly in 2024 not because I had political ambition, but because our profession & state have declined so significantly that politics was the only avenue I had left to fight for what was right. My family left California. My friends left California. My wife & I stayed to raise our children here.

That campaign opened my eyes. I went through the endorsement process at multiple police unions & POAs. I sat across the table from the consultants & lobbyists, what insiders call the “Third House.” I saw the hometown rules. I saw how these organizations forecast electability, how alignments are brokered between special interest groups & how the entire system operates more like a business than a fair political system.

I’ve been attacked & had my character impugned by the very people & organizations I’ve spoken out against, because I’ve spoken truth to power. The truth is the only thing we have left in a world of deception.

“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” — Ephesians 5:11

There are great police associations & unions doing right by their members. There are also unions whose own filings tell a story their members have never heard.

This post is not an indictment of any one person. It is an exposé on how establishment police unions historically operate, where we are today & how those choices have degraded our profession.
After my campaign I started a small business built to make positive change. That’s why I’m proud to serve as the spokesman for a union actually fighting for its members.

What you’re about to see is the result of six months of research into ALADS and PPOA, the two bargaining unions at LASD. Every dollar cited is in a public FPPC filing.

Every claim sourced. The men & women of this profession deserve to know. The pipeline runs deeper than what you see in this video.

RIP LASD Deputy Gina Henderson, another tragedy @LACoSheriff Luna is trying to pretend didn’t happen on his watch - one of many.
#RestInPeace

[Nick Wilson @nickwilsonca]

LA County is beyond corrupt, and voters are sick of it.

As they continue to recycle past false narratives, the Department is in crisis under Sheriff Luna and the Board of Supervisors. Deputies are leaving, staffing shortages are dangerously low, and deputy suicides are at historic levels.

These narratives are distractions from the real crisis facing public safety in Los Angeles County, and who’s to blame.

County logs show 611,428 ballots cast — but 657,322 were certified.

A 45,896-vote discrepancy in an election that could decide the balance of power in Congress.

SF Chronicle declares investigating a "conspiracy," I call it a duty.

[Alex Villanueva @AlexVilanueva33]

Great meeting with @nickshirleyy — a strong voice who’s asking the questions a lot of people are thinking.

People across Los Angeles County are paying attention, and they know something isn’t right.

It’s time to bring accountability, transparency, and real leadership back.

BREAKING: LA County’s 911 and CAD system failing yet again. What’s predictable is preventable - both the @LACountyBOS and their puppet Luna were warned for years of this. Here is a big receipt:

THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR TEAM.
Stats.
Trades.
Contracts.
Injuries.
Playoff odds.

They study it.
They argue it.
They memorize it.

THEY KNOW THE SCORE.
THEY DON’T KNOW THE VOTE.

Three hours for the Super Bowl.
Hours setting up the party.

Zero minutes for a school board meeting, city council meeting or state legislature sessions.

They memorize fantasy stats.
They’ve never read a bill that affects their child.

You know more about a backup quarterback than the person writing your laws.
Government controls:

Your taxes.
Your schools.
Your safety.
Your property.
Your rights.

Literally every facet of your life —
and your children’s future.

SAME ENERGY.
DIFFERENT OUTCOME.
Study policy like stats.
Track votes like box scores.
Know your officials like your roster.

California today:
#1 in Homelessness
#1 in Poverty
#1 in Addiction
#1 in Gas Prices
#1 in Income Tax
#1 in Budget Deficit
#1 in Regulation
#1 in Retail Theft
#1 in Illiteracy
#1 in Citizen Exodus
#1 in COVID Mandates
#1 in COVID School Closures
#1 in COVID Business Closures
#1 in Illegal Immigration
#1 in Funding Illegal Immigration
#1 in Wage Stagnation
#1 in Public Corruption

Number one in decline.

California won’t change
until citizens stop acting like spectators.
Sports is fun.
Civic duty builds freedom.
Only one shapes your children’s future.

You don’t have to be loud.
You just have to pay attention.

Watch one meeting.
Read one bill.
Know one vote.

Because decline doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when good people look away.

California would look very different.
This country would look very different.

If citizens stopped acting like spectators.

[Alex Villanueva @AlexVilanueva33]

A big thank you to @E_Barcohana for your support, an affirmation that public safety matters!

[Nick Wilson @nickwilsonca]

@E_Barcohana @AlexVilanueva33 I’m proud to support @AlexVilanueva33 — he’s fought for deputies and public safety. Right now the department is in shambles and deputies are struggling. If you can, please chip in.
