Right-wing recall fever is spreading to the Westside of LA. Find out who's behind it:

[Isaac G. Bryan @ib2_real]

California’s recall process has to be improved. Right now it’s almost exclusively being utilized as a costly mechanism for a disgruntled minority attempting to subvert the electoral will of the people.

We can do better.
We will do better.

Stay tuned.

[Mike Bonin @mikebonin]

Congratulations to Culver City Councilmembers @danielwaynelee0 and @AlexFischCC. Recall efforts against them fizzled this week.

In what's becoming a theme, they were being targeted over their support for housing, reimagining public safety, and mobility improvements.

Onward.

[Mike Bonin @mikebonin]

Great news! The effort to recall me from office has failed. It didn't qualify for the ballot.

Today is the end of a wasteful, distracting abuse of the electoral process.

But it's nowhere near the end of attacks on our progressive values and solutions to homelessness. (thread)

[Stop the Recall @stop_recalls]

BOOM.

[Mike Bonin @mikebonin]

No one should live on our streets. Period.

But laws like 41.18(d), which criminalize being unhoused, don’t lead to more people in housing.

How do I know this? Because we’ve been enacting them for over 100 years in LA — and the situation has only gotten worse. (thread)

[Mike Bonin @mikebonin]

Let’s get something straight: LA has not defunded the LAPD. Not even close.

Political candidates, the LAPPL, talk radio, and social media are all shouting about defunding and its consequences. But it’s a lie – a lie that is making us and our neighborhoods less safe. (thread)

@ogBravo1 Yes! That is a fraud account created by a recaller.

Here’s the whole story. Feel free to distribute widely.

“In Venice, 213 people moved off the boardwalk... As of this month, 109 are still living in interim housing, 62 are in permanent housing, and 42 left housing altogether... It’s particularly good that so many have moved into permanent housing.” https://t.co/l346CjZR0r

[Mike Bonin @mikebonin]

This is tragic and gut-wrenching news. This young girl should be home safe, celebrating the holiday with her family.

I’m grateful attorney general @RobBonta will be investigating , and I urge LAPD to release body cam footage ASAP.

This is not what public safety looks like.

[Mike Bonin @mikebonin]

Thank you to @BenjaminPDixon for having me on this AM to discuss real solutions to our homelessness crisis how housing works and criminalization doesn't, and how opponents of homeless housing and of reimagining public safety are behind the attempt to recall me.

Seattle councilmember @cmkshama will survive her recall. But @chesaboudin, @GeorgeGascon, and @mikebonin are still being targeted.

The odd thing is, Seattle, SF, and LA are thriving cities – adding wealth and jobs at record clips – so what gives? (thread)

But that’s the beauty of recalls, from the perspective of the right-wingers behind them:

They don’t ask you to weigh competing solutions to our cities’ toughest problems. They just ask you to register your anger about the status quo in an up-down vote on the person in charge.
