Thida Cornes: "I'm committed to ensuring that all MVLA students feel connected, embrace challenges, and thrive. My experience as a disabled, mixed-race immigrant and mother of two children drives my interest in public service: my daughter's a high-achiever and my son's in Special Education."

Vanessa Danielle Marrero, MSW: "I am running for Rent Board to advance inclusionary models in rental controls and eviction protection ordinances and measures that intentionally serve and act so that all people especially the aged, disabled, Black and Brown people have stable and safe places to live and thrive!"

Branda Lin: "I know the challenges we face – from inadequate shade structures in our playgrounds to asphalt plant pollution; haphazard planning and insufficient retail in the Great Park, to high electricity rates from the mismanaged OC Power Authority. I am running for Mayor to deliver measurable change to long ignored concerns from our community."

It’s true: our PIO is notorious for saying hello to every dog ever and letting them know what a very good dog they are. We’re guessing this situation was no exception.

Yes, security is very serious here. And rightfully so. Doesn’t mean, though, that connections can’t be made. This pup was super excited to make a new friend while celebrating #Inauguration2021

As the #ImpeachmentTrial begins interesting wild card: Chief Justice Roberts. Does he really want to set a precedent that witnesses & evidence can be limited the way McConnell has orchestrated? How much will he be compelled by history or the politics of McConnell? Watch Roberts. – at Manhattan, NY

I want to explain what we're talking about when we say that transgender people need anti-discrimination protections in health care. Because I think some of you really don't understand what this means, or might perceive our reaction as dramatic. But it's not. 🧵👇🏼

You know, instead of training children, teachers, houses of faith, & concertgoers to prep for being shot, we could just: -Pass Universal Background checks (#HR8!) -Disarm domestic abusers -Mandate safe storage -Ban bump stocks, semiautos, & high cap mags designed to kill people

Q6: Same as other differences. Write what the character experiences, explain any terminology, but otherwise let the story unfold #CripLit
