So damned proud to be represented by Senator Alex Padilla! (Full disclosure: I worked for Alex Padilla as a California Senate Fellow in 2011-2012.)

Not going to lie - this is a particularly tough moment. And that's exactly the point - to wear us down so much that we give up and acquiesce to whatever comes. But too much is on the line - we can't give up. We can't acquiesce. We need to stand up!

#LosAngeles has the smoggiest air in the nation and is at the forefront of the climate crisis - drought, extreme heat & wildfires. We need local leaders to prioritize #climate & #cleanair, not cut them. And while we're at it, @mayor.lacity.gov, let's get serious about reducing port pollution!

CCA Deputy Policy Director, @elchaveezy.bsky.social, has been featured in the LA Times with a letter to the editor. Read his compelling statement on the human toll of smog: www.latimes.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/story/2025-04-29/local-leaders-must-step-up-to-help-rein-in-los-angeles-smog

Wonderful seeing a fellow Southern California environmental advocate getting recognized by TIME. Thanks, Andrea, for all you do for environmental justice. #environment #environmentaljustice #cleanair

Truly a disgusting state of affairs we're in...and now Trump is flouting a 9-0 Supreme Court order seeking this wrongfully deported person's return. More at @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If anyone in the Southern California area is into #retrocomputing, #retrogaming and #electronics, I strongly recommend attending @vcfsocal.bsky.social. 2024 was great, and 2025 was even better! Can't wait to see what VCF SoCal 2026 has in store.

A little glimmer of positive news for #cleanair: the Senate Parliamentarian has ruled that Congress cannot overrule waivers for states that enact tougher emissions standards.

Glad to see someone like Senator Cory Booker taking the record from someone as odious as Strom Thurmond.

To me, abducting someone using plain clothes officers and cancelling their visa for creating "a ruckus" (co-signing an pro-Palestinian op-ed in a student newspaper) makes the whole Signal group chat leak seem a bit trite.

When our elected leaders do wrong, it needs to be called out. Thank you to all the elected Democrats speaking up against the Governor's remarks.

Thank you, 69th Assembly District! Not only did I win re-election as an Democratic Party Assembly Delegate, I was the top vote-getter among the AD 69 candidates. We've got a lot of work ahead, both in terms of standing up to Trump and Musk and strengthening the Democratic Party. Let's get to it!

#Medicaid expansion (via Medi-Cal) saved my mom's life just over a decade ago. It continues to provide her with exceptional care and support today.

Most people watching the #Andor trailer: "Wow, this new season looks lit!" Those of us who were deep in the anti-Iraq War/anti-George W. Bush movements back in 2004: "HELL YEAH, STEVE EARLE!" (Thanks @thespaceshipper.com for highlighting this). #StarWars #Scifi #StarWarsAndor #music #rock

Made a trek to #DTLA and got to ride one of LA Metro's brand new subway cars. Much nicer and quieter than the old ones! Way to go, Metro!

Thanks @foxla.bsky.social for having me on last night to discuss the #airpollution from the #LosAngelesFires. The important thing is ash and debris need to be treated as hazardous materials. Protect yourself, especially if you're in the burn area or southwest of the Eaton Fire. (1/2)
