My constituent, Barbara Gomes Marques, was detained by federal agents at the end of her scheduled green card hearing in downtown Los Angeles earlier this month. I am doing everything possible to prevent her deportation and I’m demanding that ICE follow the law. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

My good friend Barbara has been disappeared by ICE. Looking for any contacts or resources to help find her. @laist.com @latimes.com @lataco.bsky.social @aclusocal.bsky.social @nlg.la

Today is a good day to start planning a general strike ✊🏽

The hotel and airline bankrolled challenge to the Olympic wage *did not qualify* for the ballot according to the LA County Registrar. This means the city’s Olympic wage ordinance , $25/hour beginning this year and $30/hour by 2028, goes into effect for tourism workers immediately

“Hope is not naive when you have a vision and a movement behind it. “ @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social your historic win tonight is a win for all of us. This proves what we have known all along. People centered policies are not only possible but popular. We should accept nothing less ever again.

In 2025, the US is projected to spend nearly 1 trillion on the military. We spend more than the next 20+ countries combined. Yet we have nothing for healthcare, housing, or infrastructure. Or reparations. A budget is a statement of values and ours values war over people. Happy Juneteenth ❤️💚🖤

Yesterday’s attacks on Los Angeles: 1) Is not normal 2) Was a disgraceful act of violence on innocent citizens 3) Should not be tolerated Investigations need to happen and we all need to vehemently call for accountability.

My heart is crying for Los Angeles

That part 💯

And they say women are emotional during a breakup.

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16. Tomorrow, flood Capitol Hill switchboards to voice your opposition to this monstrosity. 202-224-3121.

Join me today and ten thousand besties at City Hall today. Let’s tell the current administration to take their hands off of our democracy!

Holy moly! To all my 311-heads out there, rejoice — a new 311 app for LA launches tomorrow 🎉 Please download it tomorrow and file allllll your bulky item pickups to help me test how this new app works — I'll be reviewing it next week

Dear Democratic Leaders, We need to have a chat. We need you to show the world you are the party of the people. Resistance must not just be seen, but it needs to be felt. Fight for us. ✊🏽

Tonight was a gut punch. The GOP are unhinged and will sacrifice our most vulnerable to satisfy their billionaire overlords. Medicaid is the only way 1.9M Americans with dementia can afford memory care and live with dignity. This is a death sentence.

Call to Action: Tonight is the the Homeless Count in the Valley where we count in order to know what budget and services we need to help our neighbors living outside. Join us and show our community some 💜. You can still sign up: count.lahsa.org and show up early at 7pm! #losangeles #homelesscount

Excited to join @50501movement.bsky.social today in North Hollywood! Thanks to everybody from the Valley and beyond who showed up to stand up against kings and billionaire bullies. Stay tuned for more information on the corporate boycott. #CorporateBoycott

Happy Caturday! Four years ago I decided to get my cat Scully a friend, so I visited the East Valley Animal Shelter. This is where a Wendy, a volunteer, introduced me to this sweet timid little kitten we now call Minxy. I held her and immediately she hid in my hair! That’s when I knew she was mine.

Happening tonight at Lawless Brewing: a night of solidarity for WGA folks, progressive candidates, and grassroots organizers! We'll see you there. @jillianforcd2.bsky.social @logan.hater.club @kylie.hater.club
