I spent the last year talking to children who live with distant relatives or strangers and work illegal jobs. These are 12 and 13-year-olds who pay rent, take on overtime, and rarely get a weekend off. They’re part of a shadow work force that has exploded since the pandemic.

This morning I saw an unhoused person frozen lifeless lying on the street as LAFD paramedics tried to save him. We must do more to save lives. In 1987, LA City Hall opened its doors to shelter unhoused folks in the cold when 4 people died of hypothermia. latimes.com/archives/la-xp…

I wish people would stop doing the "rich people can handle it just fine" thing. This woman is expressing deep love for her neighbors––she knows them all by name: who was recently widowed, who lost their parents, where each person's kids went to school. That community she's spent
