Tonight I hope my Stonewall Democratic Club colleagues will join me in supporting @AlexMohajer for president of Stonewall Dems. I cannot in good conscience support the incumbent given his behavior regarding his friend Ed Buck.
It’s time for new leadership. If the organization really wants to be who they say they are—electing Alex is a good step in moving toward that direction.
For a little more on the challenges in Stonewall Democratic Club as it relates to Ed Buck—read this. knock-la.com/stonewall-demo…
I am on the ballot to join the group’s leadership as well but admit I did not have the time to campaign since the trial exhausted me of any free time. Whatever votes I do get will be based on previous involvement and community work. I hope that will be enough. 🤞🏾

Da Baby's comments about HIV and AIDS are exactly why Christopher Darden felt comfortable using the AIDS
and gay panic defense for Ed Buck's benefit. complex.com/music/dababy-h…
"If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up," said the rapper during his performance.

ED BUCK TRIAL UPDATE: Alrighty fam! Court resumes at 9 a.m. Here’s a recap of yesterday’s testimony.

Ed Buck Trial: Day Two
iamjasmyne.com/ed-buck-trial-…

#edbuck #edbucktrial
It’s clear that Christopher Darden and Ludlow Creary’s defense of Ed Buck involves weaponizing his victim’s HIV status. Darden and Ludlow are fixated on AIDS and making sure the jury has a negative connotation when they hear it.
The only relevance HIV has in this trial is the fact that Ed Buck is HIV positive and according to his victims, specifically asked them of their status and knew that they were positive when he did what he did to them. But the defense doesn’t want to talk about that.

The LA County Democratic Party has passed a resolution calling on Sheriff Alex Villanueva to resign. I'm glad we were able to get it done this time around. #VillanuevaMustGo
We helped to elect a wolf in sheep’s clothing and now it’s our responsibility to right that wrong.
We put a vindictive-self-serving-narcissist-registered-in-name-only Democrat into office–and now it’s time for us to use the same amount of enthusiasm, energy, and money we poured into electing Sheriff Alex Villanueva into removing him from office.

🧵Hey, fam. Today between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. we're expecting an update on the vote count for #Compton's election. But let me tell you what you need to know before then about the voter fraud that's been reported. @LACountyRRCC @DCLogan @FBILosAngeles @LADAOffice
Remember when I exposed Compton council candidate Jace Dawson for lying about his nine degrees and working for Obama, Fox News, and several members of Congress?
Even with almost 200 votes, Jace came in last place during the primary. Jace then got into cahoots with none other than Isaac Galvan--who he ran against. Isaac then put him on a commission with the help of now outgoing councilwoman Tana McCoy and could be mayor Emma Sharif.
