CD1 does not need four more years of political games nor thin-skinned leaders. The best case, realistic scenario is Lou Calanche and Nelson Grande making it to the runoff They are well-qualified, passionate, and serious candidates who plan to be public servants, not protesters

This breaks my heart. Seniors skipping haircuts to make rent. That is not acceptable and it doesn't have to be this way. What's been missing is a council office that acts as a connector. I promise you: there are people in CD13 right now who would volunteer their time to help.

The Hollywood Partnership (Hollywood's BID) staff in this video is doing the job of both street security and a crisis counselor - with patience and compassion. Thank you. This man needs real help. Hollywood needs a council office that partners with LAPD Hollywood and the BID

Animal abuse is animal abuse. Full stop. I don't care what the circumstances are, there is no excuse for it. The dogs and cats on Skid Row are being exploited, neglected, sold for drugs and being fed drugs to test for fentanyl. They do not belong there. I told Kaycee when she

I woke up to several people sending me this video about a man attacking and groping women at the Silver Lake Reservoir. In the video, she says people have asked her, “Why are you walking at night?” Her answer is exactly right: because she has the right to. Women should not have

Strong feelings about this. Looks like Bridge Home has been claimed by Thee Rascals 13 (TRS X3), a gang based in Atwater Village with a history of drugs and violence in the Los Feliz/Atwater area. The fact that their tag is on this Bridge Home site says they are dealing to the

Instead of inventing something new, we should restore what already worked. Rebuilding the Animal Cruelty Task Force – founded in 2003 and disbanded in 2020 when LAPD’s ranks were cut – would be far faster and more effective than starting from scratch. That unit investigated

So much of government is kept in status‑quo paralysis because we let that wheel turned without ever questioning where the car is headed. That’s why I believe in bringing people in with private sector experience. But this is a dramatic exception: the LAPD Animal Cruelty Task

Interesting idea. Caring for dogs and cats is already expensive, especially with our sales tax. Rescuers see this every day. The constant Nextdoor posts from people struggling to afford pet food, asking for help, confirms this.

By my count hundreds of millions have been stolen under the guise of ‘homelessness’. Karen Bass, Horvath and the rest are behind this massive theft. They must be stopped. The homeless need to be removed from our streets now. We’ve all had enough.
