Eric Garcetti

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the greatest one off acting job in TV history. It's like, they asked this guy to basically synthesize Don's entire life in a single monologue in the very last episode of one of the greatest shows of all time and he fucking nailed it.

I was blessed to know Rob and Michelle Reiner and to have the gift of working alongside them on marriage equality, child welfare, and the promotion of human rights. Our city and world has lost two angels and we must find a way forward. Their memories are more than blessings, but a reminder to make our time about building a better world. We will miss you.

I'm sending all strength and love to my city in this moment of great pain. Thank you to our first responders and our neighbors who are doing so much for our people. Like so many, I have family displaced and friends who have lost everything. Let's survive, protect, and grieve and then rebuild our City of Angels. Thank you to all serving that common purpose and summoning our better angels.

A Los Angeles without Chip Murray is unthinkable. You were a true angel and prophet when we needed you most. Rev. Dr. Cecil L Murray, rest in peace. You are home. Let us all act on how you how taught us to protect our city and each other justly and lovingly.

Absolutely delighted that baseball-softball, cricket, flag football, lacrosse and squash will feature in @LA28. This is great news for sportspersons. As a cricket loving nation, we specially welcome inclusion of cricket, reflecting the rising global popularity of this wonderful sport.

P.S. Though I have so many grateful memories of working with Senator Feinstein, I hope when the Wilshire subway extension opens we will all take a moment to thank Dianne Feinstein for believing in LA and fighting for our transit dreams

Dianne Feinstein lived a principled life of service w/ courage & fearlessness. Amy and I loved knowing her, learning from her & seeing her serve our state and country. On a personal level, she was a unfailing partner for our city and always was there for me. I'll miss her deeply.

While visiting India 🇮🇳 on a 🇺🇸 congressional delegation, @RoKhanna met with @ericgarcetti who is now @USAmbIndia. "He's doing a fabulous job...I'm proud of him for persevering through the Washington process, he's making a difference!" Full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=CTj3XW…

Amy & I are so sad to learn of Peg Yorkin's passing. She was a friend & mentor to both of us early in our adult lives & she was an incredible fighter for equality for everyone & just an amazingly fun person to be around. May she inspire us to always find justice and humor in life

I’m keeping the Riordan family in my prayers this week, and I join all of Los Angeles in mourning his passing. Thank you mayor for your selfless service to the City of Angels. We will miss your laugh and we will miss your heart.

Richard Riordan was a courageous, compassionate leader who brought Angelenos together to rebuild after one of the most devastating moments the city ever faced. As mayor, he set a towering example to follow, & Amy and I are deeply grateful to have known him as a colleague & friend

I'm so deeply saddened by the death of longtime peacemaker and fighter for justice, Bishop David O'Connell. He was a friend of many years and part of a prayer group that I participated in throughout the COVID pandemic. This city has lost one of its most beautiful angels.

Vin Scully's passing is the end of a chapter of our city's history. He united us, inspired us, and showed us all what it means to serve. Our City Hall will be lit up for you tomorrow Vin, our dear friend, the Voice of LA. Thank you from a grateful and loving city. #vinscully

@MaraGay @MaraGay thank you for writing about this. We launched swimla.org for this exact reason 4 yrs. Swimming should be a right for every kid, every neighborhood. lamayor.org/mayor-garcetti…

I write about this every year because this is something we can fix. And because I believe swimming is a human right.

People are drowning in NYC because they can’t swim, or don’t have a safe place to do so. nytimes.com/2022/07/24/opi…

The @RamsNFL are world champions! This team embodies the resilience and strength of this City, and we couldn't be more proud. It's time to show our Angeleno pride. And don't forget to donate to @CincyChildrens at Cincinnatichildrens.org/Rams.

I mourn the passing of #DesmondTutu who fought for a world of justice and love. Amy and I had the great joy of spending time with him on three continents in S Africa, the UK, and in Los Angeles in 2005. His laugh, his love, his leadership changed us and changed the world forever.

Thank you to @RepRoybalAllard for your model leadership. Your kind heart and generous spirit sometimes hid just how tough and effective you have been for LA and for immigrants--this city and this nation is grateful to you for your service to us all.

Very proud to support @RobertGarcia for Congress. I've witnessed his incredible strength, caring, and intelligence bring great hope and steer powerfully through crisis. The residents of the 47th CD couldn't have a more effective advocate fighting for them.

I mourn the passing of my friend Mark Peel, who embodied LA's belief in breaking boundaries and barriers. His absence is a huge loss for our city: latimes.com/obituaries/sto…
