I have an update on the civil lawsuit against #Compton Councilmember Isaac Galvan. Quick recap, Galvan and five other people were charged with conspiring to commit election fraud during the June 2021 runoff to ensure Galvan would retain his seat.

He won the election by 1 vote.
Among those charged with Galvan is the talented Dr. Jace Dawson. jacedawson.com
While the criminal case is going on, his opponent Andre Spicer took Galvan to civil court to overturn the election because even after Galvan was charged he was actually sworn into office and is serving as a councilmemer.

Well, the judge just gave Spicer the green light, and the trial is set to commence on March 1. There's a chance Galvan could get a continuance but the judge said no more than a 10-day delay.
So either way, it's going down in March and if Spicer prevails, the judge can overturn the election and appointment Spicer as the councilmember. Spicer is being represented by elections law atty Fred Woocher. Galvan is represented by atty and former Carson Mayor Albert Robles.

A lot of media wanted to cover and did cover the story of the Pensacola father who was charged with attempted murder after the police bust into his house at 4:45 in the morning for a search warrant for some clothes and electronics. His baby son was also injured.
But it was the power of the Black media and @rolandsmartin that cared enough to lift up the family's GoFundMe and not extract a news story to lead the news. Roland and his audience single handily took the family's GoFundMe from $935 to 8,803 and counting in less than 10 minutes.
That is the power of the Black media and having Black journalists in place to tell our stories. Thank you @rolandsmartin and to Roland's audience.

🧵 Because social media is for oversharing, fomo and tmi..

True story.

A funny thing happened in Jamaica. Well—funny now that’s it’s over. Not funny at the time.
JetBlue decided that there was too much luggage on the leg from Ft. Lauderdale to Kingston and just left our luggage behind. No warning at all. I was just standing at the baggage claim looking completely dumbfounded. 🤔 My friend Nevin—who is Jamaican—says that happens often.
Think about the tragic death of Aaliyah (RIP). 😭

So before my inner American took ahold of me I stopped and took a breath. If you think white Karen is bad then you don’t want to see Black Keisha. 🙄

True story.

So a father was asleep at home with his two kids, 1 & 3, when the police bust in the door around 4:30 a.m. Dad fires one shot at the door because he wakes up and just sees a guy in his house. Realizes after he shoots that it's a cop and puts the gun down.
With hands up, the dad is apologizing profusely. The cops apparently had a warrant but it wasn't for the dad. It was for computer equipment that belonged to someone else. They charge the dad with attempted murder on a police officer.
In the process, the police take the kids and drop the 1 y/o causing severe trauma to the baby's head. They tried to cover it up. Didn't tell the dad that they dropped his kid. Prevented EMS from taking the kid to the hospital.

No.

Kevin de León took oodles and oodles of Ed Buck's money.

Kevin de León got $20,700 and L.A. City Atty. Mike Feuer took $18,400.

And no, they didn't return the money. Kevin lied about returning it.

And another thing. I haven't forgotten this is the same person who thought he could call my then-boss last year and get him to make me stop talking about his Ed Buck money so he could campaign in peace like it was 1955 and women were beholden to men still.
His candidacy is dead on arrival.

"While this fight is as much about getting justice for Ed Buck’s victims it’s also about calling out all of the people and entities along the way who failed them and enabled Ed Buck."

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…
