10,000 attending doctors at the University of California recently announced they are organizing to form a union with @seiudoctorsunited.bsky.social! I call on @uofcalifornia.bsky.social to remain neutral during the organizing process so our doctors get the voice and respect they deserve

LA City Council just voted 8-6 to kill LAPD Reform — the last major remaining Charter Reform for the 2026 ballot. This comes after council also killed: ❌Council Expansion ❌Ranked Choice Voting ❌Strengthening Independent Oversight via the Controller’s Office. ❌City Attorney Reform (1/2)
Traffic violence kills more people every year in LA than homicides, so why don’t we act like it? We’re fighting to make it safer and easier to navigate the city no matter how you get around. Turn in your ballot by TOMORROW for safer streets, better mobility, and a city that works for everyone.
Special interests are FLOODING you with political ads, and if you follow the money, you can find exactly WHO is trying to buy our elections.
We asked our incredible volunteers: Who hates to see you coming? Their answers *might* surprise you. 😉
Don’t let Republicans decide our future. Make a plan to vote by June 2 and sign up to volunteer this last weekend at bit.ly/cd13vol
I was happy to vote for Hugo again and I’m excited to see HLA implemented, finally!
The condition of our city’s streets? WE HATE IT! So why do our streets look like this? For one, even though over 65% of Angelenos voted for safety and mobility improvements for our streets through Measure HLA, the city still hasn’t completed a SINGLE HLA project.

The same day SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, we introduced a motion to let voters decide whether LA should consider noncitizen voting in local elections. Here's why it's already sparking so much debate & why any change would likely take years to implement. (thread)
Today we're at LA City Hall with @hugoforcd13.bsky.social and Councilwoman Jurado, alongside CARECEN, IDEPSCA, and @chirla-org.bsky.social to celebrate #MayDay2026 - over 125 organizations strong! "It's time for change for everyone that keeps this city moving" - McDonald's worker Candida Masin

This is nothing but Big Tech PR to distract from how these corporations use our infrastructure without giving their fair share. They pay NOTHING to use our roads while displacing jobs, gutting our tax base & funneling profits to Silicon Valley billionaires. (1/4) www.latimes.com/business/sto...

The secret to winning policies that help the working class? Elect working people to office.
I was arrested as a juvenile. That experience made me who I am today & it made me a better representative for all Angelenos. No one deserves to be judged on their worst moments. Thank you, Estuardo, for learning, growing, and sharing your story. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Major potential reforms coming out of the charter commission. For too long LAPD has had a blank check to operate without actual policy oversight, and city hall was all to happy to abdicate responsibility 👇🏼
🚓LAPD working with ICE 🎯Deploying teargas and foam bullets on peaceful protestors 🚫Pretextual traffic stops targeting Black & brown communities City Council doesn’t currently have the power to set LAPD policy, but that could soon change thanks to a decision last night from the Charter Commission.🧵

Street Lights face a $45 MILLION/year budget deficit because our street lighting fee hasn't been adjusted for inflation in over 30 years. That's totally unacceptable, and it's why we've invested the MOST discretionary funding of any district to get the lights back on.

You know what changed my life? The day my mom became a union member. Because every worker deserves a good wage, health insurance, and to be able to spend time with their families.
Rick Caruso can attack us with outdated rhetoric, but people deserve the truth: this isn't an easy fix. This is a serious issue that warrants real solutions rooted in care.
People are dying everyday from traffic violence because for too long we’ve prioritized convenience at the cost of people being killed. (1/2)
