VOICES

THE EASTSIDER - This election offers a very clear choice for voters.

PLANNING WATCH - According to disgraced LA City Council Member Gil Cedillo, “From the Compton’s to the Gardena’s to South L.A. ...you can't throw a rock and not hit a Mexican.”  

GUEST COMMENTARY - Where was US Representative Karen Bass and other Black elected officials and activists in 2012 during the disastrous redistricting of Los Angeles’ council districts? 

EDUCATION IN AMERICA - We are 68 years after the U.S. Supreme Court held in the case Brown vs. Board of Education that, "Separate but equal...was inherently unequal" ...

THE VIEW FROM HERE - We know Rick Caruso is a habitual liar who bears false witness, uses religious bigotry and defames innocent people.

GUEST COMMENTARY - Although he was not in the room during Nury Martinez’s vile rants recorded and leaked to the public last week, the specter of Mark Ridley-Thomas (MR-T) loomed large over a conversation about power, politics and representation.

OP/ED - As we approach election day, we see races being more hotly contested.

ACCORDING TO LIZ - Every now and then Angelenos need to lift their heads above the grime that is more in our City Hall than in our air these days, and watch the sun rise or a monarch butterfly sip nectar from a milkweed flower. 

MIRISCH’S MUSINGS - Erwin Chemerinsky is without question one of our country’s top legal scholars. I have admired him for over 40 years.

RENT OUT-OF-CONTROL - While more and more Americans struggle to pay wildly inflated rents, Big Real Estate executives are splurging on superyachts, car collections, and even a private audience with superstar rapper Drake. 

Deegan On LA—Candidate Hydee Feldstein Soto’s take on the City Attorney job is often very different than her opponent’s views. She is less attention-seeking and more grounded.

GREG STOLTZ, ESQ INTERVIEW - When I first broke the news of the FBI tampering of evidence to slap on “child pornography” charges on NXIVM “cult” leader Keith Raniere, no one was reporting on this.
