Making Los Angeles more walkable and improving its public transit isn’t just good for commuters; it’s how we make this city more interconnected to feel like a community. I talked with @hasanabirepeater.bsky.social on ICE Out day in January about it. Let's improve our livability, together. 📢

On April 14th in 1699, Sikhs formally created the Khalsa: a radical commitment to collective liberation built on the revolutionary teachings of Guru Gobind Singh and Guru Nanak.

Grateful to speak on leadership and mentorship during Climate Week at the Green Jobs Pavillion(@greenjobsboard)! As I run for Mayor of Los Angeles, I’m committed to real climate solutions. Developing a clean and green infrastructure for LA is one of four core pillars of our campaign.

Mayoral candidate and current City Council member Nithya Raman voted yes to this today… why?

RAE HUANG is on the pod today! She is *the* progressive choice for Mayor of LA ❤️ youtu.be/DEnRg5mFPv8

“Hollywood, believe it or not, is a blue-collar town...“It’s thousands and thousands of Grips and Gaffers. Drivers and Decorators. Builders and Boom operators. Camera teams and Caterers... And they’re all about to get f*cked” Damon Lindelof Reveals Reason He Signed Anti-Paramount-WBD Merger Missive

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

Help us bring some TLC to our streets 📢 We’re so excited to team up with Clean LA With Me for a community cleanup in South Central, because loving Los Angeles means taking showing up and taking care of it, together.

Another week, another roundup of canvasses to mobilize our community! Our volunteers are knocking door to door, across every neighborhood in the city of Los Angeles, to share our campaign vision and Rae’s mission to listen to your concerns and help make our city a better place 🚪🌞

We had the opportunity to speak with someone living in permanently affordable housing, and she shared why these apartments matter:

Christos Anesti! Khristos Voskrese! 🇬🇷Having lived and worshiped with the orthodox community in Greece, I still continue to love celebrating this important holy day. May our city also rise up together with all our diverse faith communities and in the days to come. 🌞

For now, let’s see if we can find Konnan a forever home or a foster immediately: 🌞KONNAN | ID #: A2237400 ☎️ (323) 565-2161 or (888) 452-7381 📍 South LA/Chesterfield Square Animal Shelter

Konnan’s story is becoming more common at animal shelters across Los Angeles, where the only option for abandoned pets is euthanization. As Mayor, I’ll make sure our shelters are getting the support they need to get these animals out of shelters and into homes.

This is my new friend Konnan, the sweetest 5-year-old doggo who I met at the South Central Animal Shelter yesterday. He needs a home by 5pm today! Maybe it could be yours? 🐾

Okay you get one (1) politics take out of me today on this: The Democratic Party, especially in California, will do ANYTHING to keep their anointed in power. That being said, anyone, including this guy in the post, who knew about this shit and covered it up deserves AT MINIMUM losing their jobs.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

Oh I almost forgot LA people When you vote for mayor, @raeforla.com is the choice And yes I will be watching all of you

We no longer live in a world where the abhorrent behavior of influential men in positions of power will be tolerated without consequence. Sexual assault and non consensual touch in professional settings is all too common and utterly unacceptable. We must hold abuse of power to account.

A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent.

In America, the police defund you.

Families in our city are being actively displaced and told that stability in the city they’ve built roots in is no longer possible. We asked a student artist to reimagine a vacant, publicly owned plot of land here in downtown Los Angeles. California took a historic step in 2023 when SB 555 passed;

It was an honor to sit down with the esteemed Theo Henderson on We The Unhoused—a show that leads with truth, courage, and a deep commitment to our most vulnerable constituents. Thank you, Theo, for holding space for these conversations with such care and integrity.

A lot of the opposition to @raeforla.com is because our politicians have convinced people that government can’t do anything good and that politicians have no power to change the system.

Same goes for LA

If you are a candidate for LA Mayor and your unhoused/homelessness policy doesn’t start with, “Will End Sweeps Forever in the City of Los Angeles,” you are fucking up. Just asked a Nithya phone banker if she would end sweeps and they said “check her website” (which doesn’t say she will end sweeps).

Anyway, I packed a theater of people and got about 1,200 others watching a livestream of the best D&D creators to raise $23k for a socialist candidate for mayor. @raeforla.com is gonna win

23k+* raised for @raeforla.com tonight and counting. *-not including matching funds for a live play TTRPG with my friends and some cool people. Wow. wow wow wowee. And everyone told me how good I was as your court jester.

Took this picture of @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social at the Roll for Democracy fundraiser for LA's next mayor, Rae Huang

For Midnight Books recap with Rae: We're fighting to expand tenant protections, rental assistance, eviction defense, and free city bus systems so that no Angeleno falls through the cracks again.

Imagine finding $80 MILLION sitting IDLE around your house that you could have been using! That’s what our office found when we looked at the City’s Special Funds for any funds that hadn’t been used for 2+ years! Read our Idle Funds Report: bit.ly/idlefunds

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

Silence in the face of genocide is complicity. We are sick and tired of waking up to the news that our own country is threatening to wipe out one of the oldest civilizations on Earth -- threats delivered by President Trump whose never ending greed has left Americans in constant turmoil.

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

🚨 Inside Safe is NOT working 🚨 Inside Safe is a costly band-aid solution to our homelessness crisis that only benefits about 5% of participants.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

Imagine a Mayor who highlights and address small practical needs in addition to the big lofty goals. Los Angeles, we can do so much better than Mayor Bass. I'm voting for Rae Chen Huang on June 2nd, Nithya Raman second choice, we Angelenos deserve so much better.

The residents of this 39th Street apartment complex want what many of us take for granted: a roof over their heads. Unfortunately, their landlord has refused to make necessary repairs to their homes for years, choosing instead to evict them so he can cash out on their suffering.

am running to be the first socialist mayor of Los Angeles - Rae Huang @raeforla.com

This week, we have several opportunities for you to come canvass! Meet us in the valley, in LA, or even beach side, to help us spread the word. No experience needed, we’ll train you, provide you with resources, and pair you with a seasoned volunteer! Showing up is all it takes 📋💗

We've got a message for City Hall: housing is a human right, not an investment vehicle. 📢 A system that allows landlords to kick tenants out onto the street in the midst of an ongoing pandemic is a broken system.

Ending homelessness means stopping it from happening to our neighbors in the first place. We can’t let any more Angelenos fall through the cracks. 🌞

I joined the LA catholic worker in the seven stations of the cross in front of the Federal Building downtown to speak against the attacks on human dignity.

And zero respect for the political opinions of anyone who thinks waitstaff make too much money

I’m not religious personally but I prefer a flip tables throw the rich out of the temple Christian to someone whose religion is money
