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.

My good friend Barbara has been disappeared by ICE. Looking for any contacts or resources to help find her.

Today is a good day to start planning a general strike ✊🏽
It's awards season and the pageantry somehow rolls on, but if Kimmel (on top of Colbert) isn't a wake up call to an industry that is already losing jobs and money to MAGA oligarchs and AI, I don't know what will. Boycotting and strikes from the guilds is the only way.

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.
Re: Today's ICE Raids in the City of LA

As City Controller, we will be formally requesting information from the LAPD to determine the financial impact these ICE raids have had in using City resources, such as the LAPD’s involvement and response to the resulting demonstrations.

That part 💯
The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

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.

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.

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.
