LITTLE TOKYO:
This morning during KDL’s weekly sweep at Toriumi Plaza, off-duty pig Danny Balmaceda caused a major accident & pinned a pedestrian between his + another car while speeding down 1st St.
The pedestrian left by ambulance while Danny got a quick tow + help from LAPD.
The elderly man who’d been driving his grandkids to school in the other car was left to wait for over an hour.
As usual, the LAPD brings reckless violence on our community and we’re left to pick up the pieces. No accountability, no justice. Pig keeps getting paid. Rinse, repeat.

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.
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]

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”
