THREAD: KEVIN DE LEON IS A RACIST.

@kdeleon & his team are desperately trying to spin the narrative of his assault on Jason to distract from his long history of racism and lies.
We won’t let them.
#ResignKDL | ResignKDL.com
Since the racist LA Fed tapes leaked, @kdeleon has surrounded himself with those who blindly defend his anti-Blackness & racism.

It’s no coincidence that his supporters called us “orientals” on Friday night, then came yesterday morning to chant “All Lives Matter” at City Hall.
While desperately trying to climb the political ladder, @kdeleon even allied with LASD Gang leader, Alex Villanueva, one of the biggest & most violent racists in all of LA!
.@kdeleon’s history of racism & lies goes back YEARS.

He took $26,500 from convicted serial predator & murderer, Ed Buck, who targeted young Black gay men. He then used this blood money to fund his failed campaign for Mayor of LA. Screenshot from Jasmyne Can...
.@kdeleon’s racism & lies go beyond words too.

After deploying the LAPD to enforce his violent sweep of Toriumi Plaza in Little Tokyo, he went into Council with more lies to cover his tracks.

Just like last Friday, the video speaks for itself.
.@kdeleon is Huizar 2.0 — a continuation of the anti-Black, anti-poor corruption that plagues CD14.

On top of his $200k+ salary, he‘s collected checks from groups like the slumlord AIDS Healthcare Foundation, profiting off the homelessness that his own racist policies created. Headline from the LA Times:...
.@kdeleon claims his constituents need him for “representation” while actively abandoning communities across CD14.

Members of @ReclaimingHomes are now facing evictions because KDL is more worried about his failing redemption tour than meeting people’s needs.
It’s over Kevin. You can’t lie your way out of this one.

RESIGN YOU RACIST @kdeleon

What is False Internationalism? 🧵

False Internationalism (FI) has been a deadly weakness of revolutionary movements for over a century. First theorized in the ‘80s by activists with ties to the Black Liberation Army, FI refers to a specific type of alliance made between [1/16]
certain “leaders” of oppressed and oppressor groups. These alliances are claimed to represent radical solidarity (true “internationalism”). But in reality, all they do is advance the narrow interests of the “leaders” while weakening the revolutionary movement overall. [2/16]
What does FI look like in practice?

FI occurs when the “leaders” of one group get separated from the masses of their people, and become dependent on another group in the name of “solidarity” or “internationalism.” For instance, in the ‘30s and ‘40s, Japanese Amerikan [3/16]

WATCH:
This AM, @ReclaimingHomes served @kdeleon with their demands to stay in their El Sereno homes.

When they refused to be passed off to his staffer, he ran away.
“We need you to tell us a date [to meet] before you leave. We’ve already been searching for answers”
Martha of @ReclaimingHomes pressed KDL on his criminalization of unhoused people and the carceral “housing” offered.

@kdeleon: “I’ve listened to many homeless stories & they’ve been very happy, actually”
Meanwhile, the reality in @kdeleon’s CD14:
