Wow: CM Hugo Soto-Martinez, fiery, and holding his own RSO lease agreement: "What we're really talking about his who does this city represent? [..] And by creating a two-tier system, we are giving our power to those corporate landlords who have profited off working people."

Knock LA has updated its description of Al Corado in its voter guide. We apologize to Al for the initial framing.

Looks like @KnockDotLA has updated their voter guide. I want to thank KNOCK for this correction. I am running this campaign because LAPD killed my best friend & my sister, Mely. I am fueled by righteous passion to pursue justice in Mely's name - ABOLISH LAPD. This is not a joke.

@hasrra18 Bonin says as a white father of Black child you stumble, fuck up, try to do your best. I know I can't know or comprehend or feel the weight of daily relentless anti-Black racism my son will face but I know the fire you feel when someone tries to destroy Black boy joy. it's a rage

Imagine taking an Uber or Lyft that cost $1 and was run by your local transit agency, not a Silicon Valley tech company. That's essentially the Metro Micro, one of LA's best-kept secrets.

Sheriff Villanueva has repeatedly denied requests for comment on this story. The photographic evidence linking him to far right actors is overpowering. Read the reporting by @ACatWithNews

Inside Democrat Sheriff Alex Villanueva’s Far Right Supporters

Incumbent Sheriff Alex Villanueva is technically a Democrat, but the last several years have seen him much more closely tied to the far right.
