Statement on the leak at @CityAttorneyLA Hydee Feldstein Soto's office.

Flashing the “White Power” sign in South LA is a look.

Spencer Pratt being considered a serious political candidate says more about us than it does about him.

NEW: Leaked emails show "two supervising prosecutors questioned city attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto's directive to drop a price gouging case against a major campaign donor" Another example of Hydee's blatant corruption, this is who @CityAttorneyLA is:

@CD5LosAngeles You're really being disingenuous by leading with unarmed crisis response. LAPD's funding increase is 150x the increase for UMCR, on top of their prior $3 billion+. x.com/i/status/20578…

Yesterday the LA City Council passed the revised budget for the next fiscal year. Here are some key priorities that were funded: ✔️Expanded unarmed crisis response ✔️Continued Safe Parking funding ✔️Spay/neuter services for city animal shelters ✔️Investments in street, sidewalk and neighborhood cleanup ✔️Increased funding for RepLA to protect tenants & help keep people housed These investments are aimed at protecting core services while keeping the City’s finances on track.

@CD5LosAngeles If you care about this so much, why does the budget not fund the controller's auditors properly? It's nearly a $15 billion budget. We have 500 lawyers, but only 5 performance auditors. Wtf are you even doing?

The single most significant thing the revised budget does is strengthen the City’s compliance with our fiscal policies. This is especially true as LA is about to go to market to finance $2 billion for the convention center. Here’s why: 🧵

NEW: As she runs for re-election, LA City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto faces turmoil and claims of unethical behavior from career prosecutors in her office — who accuse her of dropping criminal cases to help donors — according to emails LAist obtained. laist.com/news/politics/…

You read that right, folks: LAPD gets an increase that's 150x larger than the increase for unarmed crisis response.

my man @kennethmejiaLA is so good at his job exposing the cities budget issues that they’re spending congressional race amounts to try to get him out of there. we gotta keep him as city controller

The DSA-LA Councilmembers voted to increase LAPD funding by $300M. This includes Nithya Raman.

@RightyJim @_cat_turner @kennethmejiaLA Good point, a city council & mayor who are so afraid of Mejia that they cut his budget, including auditor positions. Meanwhile, his opponent is a lobbyist.

@_cat_turner @WhosThatCop @kennethmejiaLA This is for a City with an almost $1 billion deficit. lacity-2.payroll.socrata.com/#!/year/2025/c…

The gazillionaire class is trying to unseat our LA controller @kennethmejiaLA.

pro-surveillance city councilmember making a big show of proposing a total ban on phones/gps - a flipped version of the same go-to pro-surveillance expansion argument that police surveillance expansion is justifiable because phones already surveil us (no those are both problems!)

Good riddance, Mark Fuhrman. How many Fuhrmans are in the LAPD today?

Jesus fucking christ. They made a woman appear for a criminal court arraignment even though she was 9 months pregnant and she gave birth while handcuffed to a bench *inside the courtroom*

@AbsolutelyMalc1 @FilmThePoliceLA @lacontroller $50/hour is an underestimate, Helper made over $154,000 in 2024, before OT. So even if you assume he worked 52 weeks x 40 hours, that would be $74/hour.

@WhosThatCop @FilmThePoliceLA about $50/hour per cop x3 = ~$150/hour (if they're not stealing overtime) to do a job that could employ a citizen for ~$20/hour. and black bars over graffiti is just as ugly🗑️ @lacontroller

LAPD says they don’t have enough cops, yet have three cops doing…. graffiti removal. One cop paints while two watch.

LAPD supervisor material.

This is horrifying and every American needs to hear this California resident exposes what’s really going on with Flock Cameras in America “I want to be clear what these cameras actually are, and I say that with somebody with 20 years of experience in IT. I've served as the chief network architect for Fortune 500 companies, I've designed data centers, and today I work on cloud infrastructure for one of the largest loan origination companies in the country. I'm not speculating on how this technology works. I've read their patents and I know how it works. Flock advertises these cameras as simple license plate readers. But their own patents tell a different story. They're AI-powered surveillance machines that capture every passing vehicle and person and transmit that data to a private corporate cloud, making it queryable by a multitude of state and federal agencies. The city of Corona does not control that database, and Corona residents have no public record rights against a private company's servers. Our daily movements are being harvested by a $7.5 billion corporation, that only answers to venture capital investors, not to us. Flock did not reach that valuation on their per-camera subscription fees. That math doesn't add up The city council should also understand who they're doing business with. Flock CEO was asked whether the company had any federal contracts. He said no. That was a lie. Public records revealed that Flock had been secretly running a pilot program giving the US Border Patrol access to local police camera data without the knowledge of the cities that paid for the cameras. Now consider who's behind the company and where your data flows. Flock integrates directly with Palantir, a data fusion platform, with a $30 million contract with ICE. Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, is also one of Flock's primary investors. These are not separate companies with separate agendas. They are connected actors that are building a connected infrastructure. Palantir's own CEO stated publicly just this month that his technology is being used as a political instrument, designed to reduce the political power of certain voters. And that's the ecosystem that our Corona cameras are feeding into. We're not anti-police at all. We're against mass surveillance of innocent residents by a company with a documented record of deception, built by investors with a stated political agenda. We're asking the City Council to start auditing the queries made against Flock's database, to disclose any data sharing agreements, and to take a vote to cancel the Flock safety contract” I looked more into this and he is 100% right Patents describe broader object detection, including tracking people and pedestrians, patents like US11416545B1. The system uses a centralized cloud database for nationwide queries Data goes to Flock’s private cloud, AWS-based, encrypted. Nationwide lookup is common, 75%+ of customers are enrolled enabling cross-jurisdictional searches. Residents have no direct public records access to the corporate servers. This creates a mass surveillance network feeding a private company’s infrastructure If you ask me this is laying the infrastructure for a mass surveillance network in America. We are being lied to. Cancel all contracts nationwide

@FilmThePoliceLA Labrada's been crashing out hard.

LAPD just dismissed Al’s complaint against his victim and called him a liar: “We have found his testimony to be totally lacking in credibility based on all of the exhibits and witnesses and his own inconsistent statements, including his prior sworn statements to Internal Affairs”

I’m told notorious stalker and disgraced former LAPD Assistant Chief Al Labrada recently filed a report with Ontario Police Department referring to me as a “street terrorist.” 🥴 Labrada claims photos of his watch — taken in 2023 — were obtained through a burglary.
