The city has escalated its efforts to try and suppress our voices from being heard. The Council, LAPD, and the city attorney's office have doubled down on their commitment to resume the violent business of this city. Join us as we continue to fight back against business as usual.

The LAPD has rapidly been growing its social media surveillance arsenal, targeting the same communities they have always targeted for criminalization, surveillance and violence. Join us TUE 11/15 @ 6PM, in-person at LA CAN to learn more! Details here: stoplapdspying.org/abolish-s…

🚨THREAD: LOS ANGELES CITY ATTORNEY RACE 🚨 For those who haven't filled out their ballots yet - here's a quick thread breaking down why you should vote for Faisal Gill over @ElectHydee for City Attorney. Hydee is a landlord, corporate attorney backed by the real estate lobby
🚨🚨 Shocking no one - City Attorney candidate @ElectHydee is a landlord! She currently owns 3 properties. A property owned by Hydee was subject to multiple code violations in May ‘19. Hydee is endorsed by the real estate lobby… Its clear who she will represent if elected!

Actually this is dead wrong. Polling that does exist suggests that Angelenos oppose criminalization because it’s a failed strategy. Being concerned about homeless does not = supporting failed policies that simply sweep the issue under the rug.
Replying to @sarasadhwani
I can’t find any polling on 41.18 but what does exist (homelessness as top issue to voters) suggests that many angelenos likely support the measure - which is why neither Caruso or Bass will come out strongly opposed to it.

See servicesnotsweeps.com/toolki… for tmrw's Council Transportation committee mtg. They should be providing real housing options. Punishing & targeting vehicle dwellers with towing, or providing bogus "service offers" that in reality lead to NOTHING, is inhumane #housekeysnothandcuffs!

LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY 🤓 Come out to Zebulon Nov 2 to celebrate the close of the local election cycle with some good ol' fashion competition. Start placing your bets on which @thelapod host knows the most niche LA facts: @awalkerinLA or @safrazie or @jamieloftusHELP 🤔??

“Business as usual” is violence.

"Business as usual" indeed: Council's toothless calls to censure its members don't account for a huge round of 41.18 zones they'll vote on tomorrow. The leaked audio is racist & classist, and their policy is material manifestation of that audio #StepDownOrGetShutDown #Repeal4118
We’re back at city hall with @BLMLA @BAJItweet @LACANetwork @latenants and @uniondevecinos demanding resignations! Join us tomorrow morning at 9am and let city council know that BUSINESS AS USUAL = VIOLENCE! NO RESIGNATIONS - NO MEETING #StepDownOrGetShutDown #KevinDeLeon

.@mhdcd8 you KNOW BETTER and should do better. It makes it easy for others to criminalize Black people; to plot their erasure; to attempt to extinguish the power our ancestors fought for and died for when you side with white supremacy over Black lives. This business ain't usual!
The 41.18 motion was going to fail (7-3 with five absent) and then @mhdcd8 asked for reconsideration and changed his vote to a “yes” What the fuck

NOTICE OF MAJOR CLEANING: Kevin De Leon is getting a wake up call this morning since he still hasn’t decided to resign. Looks like LA SAN and crew are here to give him the same treatment that our Unhoused neighbors get in his district everyday
