RIP Mike Davis, who chronicled the real Los Angeles often overlooked or unseen, a civil rights activist and Marxist scholar, a prophet of doom and a beacon of inspiration, who taught multiple generations to never cede the streets and never stop fighting. An incalculable loss.
It’s time for @kdeleon and @cmgilcedillo to resign from the City Council and for the City to launch an independent investigation into how they robbed their constituents of their voices.
They won't go unless we make them. #ResignKDL#ResignGilCedillo#OutwithKDLandGil

Among liberals, there's a tremendous amount of complacency. Pretty much every assumes that Caruso and Bass will go to the general, not realizing that 50+% allows Caruso to win outright. Result: Many LA liberals and leftists are checked out of the primary election entirely.
Los Angeles folks: I believe that we all need to be a LOT more worried about Rick Caruso's candidacy. We're on the verge of allowing a Trumpian, anti-abortion billionaire to buy our city government. And he can do it this June, in the primary, if we don't stop him. Thread:
In LA, the success of several City Council challengers who are critical of law enforcement is important. Races like that of @EunissesH, who is still bringing in votes, is a clear example that you can make gains with an explicit platform to redirect resources away from policing.
SF is not representative of CA. It is a majority white county, with a median household income of $110k. The county has undergone a concerted effort to displace & criminalize poverty for decades. The result is a voting base that will advance such a conservative recall effort.
The idea that the recall of @chesaboudin signals to the country a statewide rejection of progressive agendas within a progressive state is problematic for so many reasons. (thread🧵)
LA’s progressive moment is arriving. @kennethmejiaLA@WestsideDarling@HugoForCD13 beat back the establishment & special interests. Other first time candidates like @EunissesH had strong showings.
LA needs big change that puts people first.
We can do it.
On to November.
Help the Hillside Villa tenants make history.
