Sending more folks home with donated air purifiers, thanks to the incredible logistics work of @CleanAirLA!
Below is the @SmartAirFilters Squair, which has a HEPA filter and a carbon filter to maximize its air cleaning capacities. Perfect for a bedroom or small studio.

I interviewed Carol Mayorga who has been working as a housekeeper in Pacific Palisades for 20 years. When the fire swept through, nearly 10 properties she and her husband worked at burned down. Now they have no income. Please read. W/ @LATvives

Not impressed with hotels offering, “deeply discounted” rates to evacuees. Y’all are billion dollar companies, do better.

It’s the being called, “lazy” and “entitled” for me 😞
This whole thread perfectly encapsulates how I feel as a disappointed elder millennial 😢

The Biden administration should cancel all federal student debt tomorrow. Ignore the courts. Use immunity powers. Get it done.

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:
– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them.
– Don’t share things before checking your sources.
– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.
Omg there’s an all-female mariachi band dressed in blue at the Dodger Stadium right now. Love it 💙#DodgerParade
