the Koreatown-adjacent parts of Hancock Park should be called Hanbok Park. thanks

If any of you have ever dealt with PG&E, you know how awful it would be if LA ended up going that direction

I met with many people who have seen the impacts of the ICE raids and the police brutality in our streets firsthand over the last year. What I heard was shocking.

A full video will drop soon about my lessons from these conversations, and how I’ll take concrete action as mayor to remedy the harm.

85 schoolgirls. just one is a world, a future of infinite possibilities, a universe. that america has done this atrocity to 85 of them, that it will continue to do even worse... i don't even know what to say. i condemn this with every fiber of my being, but that doesn't feel like enough.

The Trump regime claims that if we get immigrants out of subsidized housing, those units will go to help solve our housing crisis. This isn’t true, but the words are in the right order to make people who should know better take them at face value.

It’s essential that we flood HUD with letters opposing their cruel ban of mixed status families from public housing.

This is also a story about caste! Hindutva apologists are far more likely to buy into this kind of MAGA-adjacent eugenicist horseshit if they are also caste supremacists! (Special fuck you to Gavin Newsom for vetoing the bill that would have banned caste discrimination in California.)

happy birthday chris!

50 Years On: How Angela Davis' Focus Changed in Jail - JSTOR Daily In a 2012 interview published in Social Justice, Angela Davis spoke about her detention in jail and how it informed her work on abolition and feminism.

On February 23, 1971, Angela Y. Davis released on bail.

"How Angela Davis’ Focus Changed in Jail"

Also, in jail, Davis wrote "Reflections on the Black Woman's Role in the Community of Slaves" to engage George Jackson, and took up yoga/self-care to survive the cell.

I've written about the effort to secure bail for Angela Davis before: open.substack.com/pub/prisoncu... - Aretha Franklin had promised to pay it but was out of the country so a white California farmer did.

This video gives me so much hope. Community power is the way through

All pregnant migrant girls sent to Texas shelter where abortion is banned: report Children as young as 13 are ‘trapped’ in a state with no access to abortion, lawyers and advocates say

"It’s beyond cruel to trap these girls — some are victims of sexual assault — in a state where they have no choice over whether to remain pregnant. Everyone deserves the right to make these fundamental decisions for themselves.”
