The difference between @asmrickzbur.bsky.social and myself is clear. I am running to put Californians first. That means lowering the cost of living, supporting CalCare, taxing billionaires, and more. I’m a leader in the anti-Flock and anti-AI Data Center movements.

People are waking up to the harms caused by Flock cameras and similar surveillance devices! Despite all of this public backlash to this technology, our politicians remain complicit. If your state legislators aren’t demanding a ban to these devices, vote them out!

Tell Governor Newsom to veto AB 2664. This bill isn't about protecting people's right to peacefully practice their faith. It's about protecting evangelical churches and synagogues when they do fundraisers for the IDF and illegal real estate auctions of stolen Palestinian land.

I am honored to announce that our campaign has the endorsement of LA City Controller, @kennethmejiala.bsky.social! He knows that our communities need someone to ensure our tax dollars are used to help working Californians, not to make donors & corporations richer. Thanks for your support!

At last night's West Hollywood City Council meeting, I gave a public comment on the new approved Flock network that is operating inside the city. These cameras are a violation of our civil liberties and put many vulnerable communities in harm's way. WeHo must say NO to Flock.

A new Yale study shows that Medicare for All that it would save 114,000 lives and $1 trillion annually. Medicare for All doesn't just save lives, it saves money too. It is far cheaper than our current system under the ACA. We need Medicare for All! www.commondreams.org/news/medicar...

Mass Surveillance is never acceptable! It harms marginalized communities and leads to overpolicing. California must ban them. Shame on politicians who have voted to support them. #flock #flockcameras #banflockcameras #FlockOffWeHo #DeFlock #MassSurveillance #AntiSurveillance

It’s not enough to abolish ICE, we also have to prosecute ICE. Any politician who is not also calling for this is complicit. We are a nation of immigrants. Immigrants make California amazing and a better place to live. ICE out of California! Video credit: @loveely_vee on instagram.

Our tax dollars need to be spent improving our infrastructure so incidents like these never happen, not giving the top 1% massive tax cuts and expanding already bloated police budgets. Visit www.weho.org/Home/Components/News/News/12208/23 for updates and resources.

Stuff like this helped Trump get into the White House back in 2016. The Clinton campaign used their "pied piper" strategy to elevate Trump thinking that she could easily beat him in a general election. And we all know how that ended...

AB 2664 doesn’t protect people’s right to pray, it just stops people’s right to protest. We need politicians who are focused on making California affordable, not doing defense for another country.

Colin Hernandez @colinforcad51.bsky.social · 07/05/2026
I never thought in a million years I’d ever see my name on a ballot like this. Regardless of how this primary goes, it’s been a wild ride. I’m proud and honored of the support I’ve received from those in the community. California needs bold new leaders. We can’t afford “business as usual.”

Colin Hernandez @colinforcad51.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
AB 2664 isn't about protecting people's right to practice their faith in peace. It's main purpose is stopping protestors from rightfully gathering outside of evangelical churches or synagogues when they do fundraisers for the IDF or land auctions of stolen Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank!

As millions of Californians are on the verge to lose their healthcare, the time for single-payer healthcare is now! We need a Democratic Party who will actually fight for needs of working people, not listen to their pharma and health insurance donors.

For those cheering for a war with Iran, ask yourself this: -Will this lower my rent? -Will it lower my rising healthcare costs? -Will it lower my grocery bill? The answer is no. Our tax dollars could be used to help people here instead of bombing civilians.

Every year, nearly 68k people die to due being underinsured/uninsured. 530k people go into medical debt each year. Everyone has painful stories of our healthcare system denying them or their loved ones care. We have to change this. People over profits! That's I support #CalCare.

Trump’s DOJ is trying to sue UCLA for the pro-Palestine protests that happened on campus during 2024. Antizionism isn’t antisemitism. This lawsuit and the one before it didn’t happen out of a vacuum. @asmrickzbur.bsky.social laid the groundwork for this to happen.

Again, @asmrickzbur.bsky.social can act like this is coming out of nowhere all he wants, but the fact of the matter is, he laid down the groundwork for this to happen. He demanded that UCLA punish students for protesting genocide under the guise of “antisemitism.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/u...

Glad it's been dropped, but let's not forget how this started. As UCLA students protested against Israel's genocide in Gaza, @asmrickzbur.bsky.social demanded that the uni take action and punish the students for "antisemitism." Trump admin took only took the next logical step.

You have to have peasant-feudal lord mindset to even entertain coming to this event. Even if you are worth $100M, you are infinitely closer to relying on MediCal (what this tax funds), than becoming a billionaire. The rich have to pay their fair share.
