Listen Los Angeles, do not let Rick Caruso become mayor.
If you do nothing else, don't let that happen. You will regret it. It will make your life worse if you aren't in the tiny percentage of rich people in LA.
The choice is yours.

Sooo, I have an update.
I will be hosting a new podcast for @LAist Studios: How To L.A.💞
It’s a dream job for this city boy. I get to help Angelenos discover, explore, affect change and connect with our beautiful — yet complicated — city.
BREAKING :: SHOOTING AT ORANGE GROVE X MELROSE … At Approx 6:40pm (details updated later) An Apparent Shooting Took Place. @LAPDWilshire has set up a perimeter to search for suspect(s) and ascertain what took place
For me, being an immigrant means being a hero. We are creators, storytellers, and poets. 📖 We are teachers, students, and activists. ✊🏽We are farmworkers and essential workers. 🩺 We are familias, tias y abuelas teaching us about our language, culture, our raices (our roots).
But, as a society, I hope we create those opportunities for the other undocumented immigrants because not everyone can qualify for DACA. And I really hope and dream that we can have a pathway to citizenship for all immigrants!
Check out Virginia's immigration story!
I was born in the north of Argentina and immigrated to the US during my high school years. 🇦🇷 While living in Argentina, I remember listening to stories about my great-great-grandparents who immigrated to Argentina.
@melroseaction Yes, it was definitely scary! Yes, same block! What are some things that we can do as neighbors in our community to help this area? Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you!
