As @lapdcommission moves to accept $277k from @LAPoliceFdtn for a surveillance robot dog, let's remember that the LAPD and the "citizens voice in police affairs" Commission surreptitiously changed the language of any "conflict of interests" #LAPCFails https://t.co/zxTCd9S69C
Former LAPD Commander Cory Palka, a "man of faith & core principles & core values," who flashed a white power sign on tv during #GeorgeFloyd uprisings used his power to protect a wealthy sex pest. This is who the LAPD are, through and through. #LAPCFails https://t.co/tvtgHIfZtk
L.A. Supervisors @LACountyBOS must act decisively to protect the public from the scourge of deputy gangs, sheriffs’ violations of the law and obstruction of oversight, and the unchecked deputy violence against Black and brown people #CheckTheSheriff.

In February, @CheckSheriff & families impacted by sheriff violence urged @LACountyBOS to refer to voters a charter amendment for common sense checks and balances and accountability of the sheriff.
Tomorrow Tuesday, they will vote to #CheckTheSheriff.

Reminder: Tomorrow, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors will vote on creating a process to hold the sheriff accountable to the people. Take action and send a message to your supervisor in support: https://t.co/NuDD2ahq0P
Thank you @CBSLATom@CBSLA for having me on & allowing me to talk about my platform!
I’m running for mayor of Los Angeles because I am invested in my community. I want to end homelessness & fix the conditions that create crime. Join me in making #LAforAll
it does feel appropriate that twitter is now owned by an apartheid emerald mine heir whose main businesses are "billionaire space tourism" and "exploding cars"
.@elonmusk is the prime example of why unfettered capitalism is a danger to this country and the planet as a whole. He’s not a genius, he’s the product of generational wealth and a rigged system that sees billionaires as somehow more important than the average person—they aren’t.
With 40 billion dollars, Elon Musk could have given each of the 330M people living in America a million dollars and still had $7B left over. Why aren't more people talking about this?

📢 Action Alert! Send an email to the CA Senate TODAY to tell them that $18.6 billion in carceral spending is NOT how we achieve public health & safety! We must continue to envision a healthier & more equitable California. Toolkit here: https://t.co/zfcCThbKNi #CloseCAPrisons
Thread. This week, the New York Times's recent dangerous reporting on "crime" reached a new low. I try to document what happened carefully below, because what happens to the leading newspaper in the U.S. has effects on how we all get information about the world.
Today, like every day, @LAPDHQ will spend $8 mil of our tax dollars. While "community policing" propaganda is constantly churned out (LAPD's PR dept has 40 officers), officers continue to show disdain for the community, refusing to wear masks or get vaccinated. #LAPCFails
If the @lapdcommission is supposed to be “the citizen’s voice in police affairs” why do they limit the amount of time for the public to speak to 45 minutes? That’s 15 of our city’s 4 MILLION residents getting to speak weekly. Shameful! @LAPCFails
To give space to plan & implement a new audience & participant safety plan for our Festival without further disruptions or changes, we will be postponing our #hff21 ticket on-sale date until next Friday, July 23rd, 2021 at 11:00 am. https://t.co/vLigMnXg5h
