In all the mess, there is a euphoria to remembering that I was born in & live in a city that has my family's back.
My parents were undocumented teenagers when they came to LA from Mexico. My mom had me at 17 in a hospital-turned-parking-lot in the San Fernando Valley.
I love you, Los Angeles.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

But it’s striking that nominally smart people are out here always asserting that “men and women are inherently different” and no one, least of all any men, seem inclined to bother asking if that’s really true.

It is okay if random folks want to read big books out in public.
We should worry less about performative whatevers, and more about how aggressively atomized + lonely + weird our culture is becoming.
I'd rather be annoyed by you than walk around empty parks/cafes/city streets.
