Last month we closed out Cohort 3 of the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) for @metrolosangeles.bsky.social. Huge thanks to the outgoing members for advancing a rider-centered, community-driven vision for safety across the system. Cohort 4 we have the first full meeting March 5 at Metro HQ!

I’ve been out demonstrating. I try to give supplies and record community supporting community. My sister and parents always worry.

His name is also Alex and it got me. That could have been me.

I cried for Alex Pretti today. He was just trying to help someone who was down. I read his testimonies from his friends and community & how much he offered the world. He was just trying to do the right thing.

Was at the LA Young Democrats Holiday Party, celebrating all the good work my fellow CA Young Democrats do in Los Angeles, at all levels of advocacy, outreach, policy, grassroots work and more! These are more than just future leaders, they are current leaders! @grassrootsdemhq.bsky.social too!

That’s a good point and there is historical precedent for that actually, but that’s based on enforcement and both court enforcement mechanisms, and the executive branch are firmly captured…

Say what you will about Spotify as a company but there’s some sort of beauty about what Spotify wrapped has done and just the conversations you have with folks about music… like today

I love all the connectivity and the enthusiasm that everyone has. It’s such a beautiful thing.

My mother and her family came from Afghanistan decades ago. When Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, it was a huge emotional weight. Now, after years of war and sacrifice, we betrayed the allies who committed to make Afghanistan a better place.
