LA Council: Political Competition vs Solidarity?
Antisap' 🖤 🏴 🎶
Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye
written and recorded by studio musicians Garrett Scott, Dale Frashuer, and producer/writer Paul Leka at Mercury studios in New York City. When it topped the charts, Leka put together a band called Steam and sent them out on tour in support of the song. In 1970, the "Steam" was let out of the band and the band disbanded. They left a legacy though that is still heard at sporting events worldwide whenever a team wins a game. Enjoy!

So now I have to wonder if this news is what finally caused people to publicly call for resignations.🤔At first there were tepid, word-salad responses...🤔I wonder if they were gonna downplay this - let her go on vacation, issue an apology, but still keep her position - when they thought it was just us she talked about like trash. 🤷🏿♀️ #NuryMartinez #RonHerrera #GilCedillo #KevinDeLeon
#NuryMartinez: ...go get the airport from his fcking little brother, that little b*+ch Bonin. I go 'what's with Bonin'? I said 'Bonin thinks he's fcking Black.' 'That guy don't think he's Black'. I go 'he thinks he's Black'. I call it the same thing.

She said that sh!t with her whole chest. And what's with this plot to "go after the airport"? A whole a$s conspiracy. 🤷🏿♀️

Black & Indigenous Activists Call for Latinx L.A. City Councilmembers to Resign over Racist Remarks
A political scandal is unfolding in Los Angeles, where City Council President Nury Martinez resigned from her leadership post Monday after she was caught on tape using racist language about the city's Indigenous immigrant population and referring to the Black son of another city councilmember as a "little monkey." Martinez made the comments last year during a conversation discussing redistricting with Councilmembers Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo, as well as Ron Herrera, the head of the L.A. County Federation of Labor, who also resigned from his leadership post Monday. "Her [Martinez] inciting hate against Indigenous people has a direct impact on their lives," says Odilia Romero of the L.A.-based organization Indigenous Communities in Leadership, who's calling for Martinez's resignation. "Beyond the pain and beyond the hurt is also this effort to really sideline Black power," says Melina Abdullah of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles, who is calling for the resignation of all four councilmembers, an investigation into how racism within the city council has undermined Black electoral power, and a "fundamental culture shift" in city politics.

He said "I call on Los Angeles City Councilmembers #NuryMartinez, #KevinDeLeon, and #GilCedillo to resign and take full responsibility".
Clear. Direct. Decisive. I appreciate that. I wish
@KarenBassLA was as direct.🤷🏿♀️
#RonHerrera was part of a conspiracy to ignore the concerns of Black people and "maneuver the appointment of a City Council seat." Neither he, #NuryMartinez, #GilCedillo, nor # KevinDeLeon can be trusted with any amount of political power. They and their allies gotta go. That includes anyone Black who decides to put on a cape and play Captain-Save-A-Rαcist-Lαtino. 🤷🏿♀️ #resign
