I don't know if anyone ever considered this before but I think we should have a left wing party in the United States. Just my opinion

Thank you. One of my first requests to public officials has long been to set the right tone. This is appreciated.
I believe first elected in City of Los Angeles to acknowledge issues with LAPD use of force against press since ... Eric Garcetti and Dennis Zine 15 yrs ago?
Hope to see more!

This position DOES NOT speak for the full City Council.
The LAPD should NEVER be permitted to use force against journalists or anyone peacefully exercising their first amendment rights.

I wish someone would rewrite "Blurred Lines" with nonmisogynistic lyrics because the tune is sooo catchy. (Postmodern Jukebox came kind of close by gender-switching the singer.)

After 55 years, today is the last show. Every Sunday night as a young teen, I'd lay in bed and put my headphones on and make it to the Funny Five every week. Mondays sure would suck harder because of it, but hot damn was it worth it.
I salute the good doctor on his retirement.

I would really welcome someone in politics saying, with calm, level honesty, that they *don’t* understand the concerns of the far right.
Because that’s a perfectly reasonable position.

Freedom to cause offense without being jailed or sued is a thing.
Freedom to cause offense without being criticized, shunned, and despised is not. The very concept is incoherent.
