Fellow Democrats,
I can no longer say with certainty if I owned or wore a Question Authority button as a teen, but they were ubiquitous in my crowd.
It was not until much later, when I became a librarian and an author, that I understood that this phrase represented not simply adolescent defiance but an essential critical reading practice.
For librarians the first six letters of “authority”...
At the January 23rd rally we heard from people who have been actively engaged in outreach to unhoused people.
Olga Lexell challenged the Council Members to attend an actual sweep in person. She said “I think attending a sweep is really important because you have...
Rarely are the voices of those with lived experience heard in discussions of homelessness, and some unhoused persons are beginning to say that the housed should decide “nothing about us without us.” Some of those voices were heard at the January 23 rally in...

Fellow Democrats,
Now that the final results of the November election have been certified, I have repeated the statistics I did for the March primary, comparing how our endorsed candidates did in Culver City compared to in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and the...
Last month, we lost the much-loved puma known as P-22. In his impossible journey across two freeways, he stood as a symbol of resilience and won the hearts of Angelenos. In his long 13-year life, he inspired wonder and responsibility for urban wildlife. His...
They certainly aren’t wasting any time with their cruelty. Take a look at the Jones Settlement. That came out when Los Angeles’ anti-camping ordinance was struck down as unconstitutional—and I believe it applies to the whole region. In brief, they can’t enforce the ordinance...
As the final ballots trickled in almost a month after election night, we would be lying if we said we weren’t disheartened by the sixteen-vote margin that ultimately denied Culver City’s youth the right to vote. But now, almost a month after the results...

Fellow Democrats,
This newsletter will arrive a week before general election voting closes. I expect that anyone who would open this message and read this spiel is highly politically engaged and voted weeks ago, but if not, don’t forget! Details are at lavote.net. You can...
As the deadline for this newsletter arrived, it was announced that author and activist Mike Davis had died. He had been on hospice for several months, so this was no surprise, but it is a major loss to progressive politics, cultural studies, and Southern California. Carolina Miranda...
