Los Angeles cannot continue with politics as usual. For too long, Los Angeles has been controlled by the powerful few – power hoarded by those with the most wealth, influence and resources.

“I understand that you’re not running out of that mission [ambition to be a politician]. You’re running for Mayor because we need your kind of vision, our kind of collective vision that is embodied in you.” – Dr. Melina Abdullah 🌞

From working on the first ever People’s Budget to organizing in ways that make Los Angeles a better city, comrades stick together. 🫂❤️‍🔥 Over the years, Dr. Melina Abdullah and Mayoral Candidate Rae Huang have continued showing up for the people. This movement has always been people-powered.

"I can't help but wonder if the drawdown of USAID and CDC health interventions by DOGE undermined some of the surveillance and detection initiatives that might have helped to catch this earlier."

I am honored to have the endorsement of the Catch Fire Movement - an organization dedicated to supporting progressive leaders who advance human and labor rights running for public office.  They are committed to building democracy from the bottom up by activating non-voters to vote in the primaries,

Thomas Edsall asked me how much Trump's fossil fuel handouts, attacks on cheap-clean-power, and reckless wars are costing the American people. So I sat down and did the math. This year alone, it's on pace to be $1508 per household. That's not going to be popular. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/o...

Tom's Crossing by @markzdanielewski.bsky.social It's a fantastic read; compelling & heart-rending. Made me think about narrative form, myth-making, storytelling, & how much these are a part of our relations to each other and the places we inhabit. 100% Recommend!! 📚💙 bookshop.org/a/15212/9781...

When people ask, "How can I promote my art when the world is going to shit" I hear that as, "How do I have the right to make art when the world is going to shit" And... We need art more than ever during such times. You need to be making art more than ever during such times.

Rae’s vision of a safe, affordable, and sustainable Los Angeles is spreading throughout the city! Our volunteers talked to Angelenos almost every day this week, learning exactly what issues matter to you.

Anti-Data Center organizing is really ramping up especially in the South.

Real safety means funding things like infrastructure, after-school programs, or sanitation, not hemorrhaging city money by giving the LAPD nearly half of our budget. Angelenos deserve to live in a city with services, not a standing army.

"because reporting on this war has been so drastically narrow and that there’s so much misinformation coming from the United States and its allies in the region... And, of course, there is little reporting that comes from the Iranian side that is completely and totally verifiable."

I remain baffled by how charmless and anhedonic so many rightwing/manosphere influencers are. Not funny, clever, or sexy. Just radiating tension and fear. Straight up not having a good time but are also supposed to be aspirational?

Electoral politics alone ain’t going to save anyone - we encourage you to get involved in a radical organization in your community. It would also be amazing if you could contribute to this campaign - check out our website stokerfortexas.com for ways to do that!

You know what would also help her afford her husband's cancer treatments? UNIVERSAL FUCKING HEALTH CARE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HOW IS THIS GODDAMN COUNTRY STILL LIKE THIS MAYBE GRANDMA SHOULDN"T HAVE TO DELIVER FOOD LIKE A TEENAGER IF WE HAD A DECENT FUCKING SOCIETY!!!!!!!!!!

The country's descent into fascism cannot be understood without interrogating U.S. policing. But folks across the political spectrum are allergic to this so here we are.

Epitaph for empire youtu.be/C3cLOE6Phms?...

I maintain that among the media's biggest mistakes has been continuing to ask Trump questions as if he's a normal guy instead of asking things like "Can you explain who Jesus is" or "Describe the process of pumping gas"

A second photographer in Los Angeles lost an eye to law enforcement "less-lethal" munitions while just taking pictures at protests. These weapons are supposed to be used ONLY for immediate violent threats. Marshall Woodruff and now Tucker Collins were armed with nothing but a camera.

Exactly this. We’re not seeing the stories on this platform due to its relative lack of international reach and the obsequious nature of US reporting, but entire residential blocks are being flattened in Tehran and other cities in Iran.

The voting laws that people like me support—universal vote by mail, same day registration, and automatic registration—increase turnout but have no partisan effect either way. The SAVE Act is designed specifically to have partisan effects (mostly bc they’ll implement it differently in blue states)
