“From 2022 to 2023, 41.18 arrests increased from 91 to 260 in the 1st Council District, or by about 185%, according to data from the LA City Controller. The number of arrests dropped to 135 in 2024—a figure that’s still nearly [2x] higher than in 2022, when Councilmember Gil Cedillo was in office.”
Eunisses Hernandez called homeless encampment sweeps “inhumane.” Then, she joined LA City Council and things changed.

Since taking office, arrests of unhoused people have skyrocketed in Hernandez’s district.

The police raids and sweeps at Mountain View are unacceptable—as is the silence from Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez and her office. Pigs have repeatedly sexually assaulted and harassed women at the sweeps Eunisses's office orders. Everyone has been arrested and cited with 41.18. 1/

“appeared to be AI” implying the NY Times thinks there is a possibility the video of Trump flying a fighter jet and dumping diarrhea was real
President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.

Hugo Soto-Martinez once compared 41.18--an LA law that criminalizes existing in public--to racial profiling.

Hugo later admitted he wouldn't repeal his district's 41.18 zones but claimed he wouldn't enforce them.

During his first year in office, 41.18 arrests went up 522% in Hugo’s district.

Something thats really wild is that @mayor.lacity.gov inside save program utilizes a “sweep” as the focal point for housing. So residents of an encampment have law enforcement and sanitation barreling down on them and have no choice but to be shuttled to any number of subpar temp housing facilities.

My son had Medicaid (i.e. Medi-Cal) until he was almost three. If you think you don’t know someone who’s needed Medicaid… you do.
About half of all births are covered by Medicaid.

Over a third of all kids have health care thanks to Medicaid.

More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid.

So understand this: when the GOP attacks Medicaid, they attack families in every community.

Union busting is and forever will be a tool to keep the working class down.

Ask yourself, how does firing a dedicated union organizer from the Writers Guild staff help writers in any way?

It does not.
This is a timeline of the union busting practices that have occurred in the recent weeks. Managers are still using problematic, union busting rhetoric in staff and 1:1 meetings. We await response from management on our 2nd and 3rd demands: stop union busting and reinstate Fátima Murrieta. #ItsTime
