Columnist @LATimescitybeat is ask for your help on the subject of help:

"I need you to tell me if you know someone in the Los Angeles area who provides a great deal of help to others."

latimes.com/california/sto…
"Maybe it’s a very committed volunteer or someone whose efforts go far beyond the job description at a nonprofit or government office. Or a person who stepped in at a moment of danger or crisis and offered protection or tremendously lightened a load." latimes.com/california/sto…
"Or a few people on a city block who came together and took action when they saw a family living outside and suffering and in need of kindness and assistance." latimes.com/california/sto…
"I believe these are subjects that a lot of us would like to know more about. In fact, I frequently hear from readers who tell me just this: that they want to help others and have the means or time to help others but are unsure how to do so effectively."

Across the West, water districts are grappling with new and increasingly common challenges as fire seasons grow longer and blazes consume more suburbs and smaller communities.

latimes.com/california/sto…
These fires are not only destroying people’s homes and treasured possessions, they are leaving behind an array of incinerated plastics, lead, pesticides and other toxic particles that have the potential to contaminate water supplies. latimes.com/california/sto…
Though water managers in Santa Cruz say their supplies are safe — before heavy rains, they start pumping groundwater instead of relying on catchment water or supplies from the San Lorenzo River — scientists say this new field of environmental concern deserves more attention.

An effort by House impeachment managers to question witnesses in the impeachment trial of former President Trump fizzled Saturday. latimes.com/politics/story…
Lawmakers agreed to introduce as evidence past statements of a Republican congresswoman that
Trump had brushed off pleas from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy amid the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to convince his supporters to stop the insurrection. latimes.com/politics/story…
Instead of setting up a deposition of Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.), however, House managers and Trump’s attorneys agreed to allow her statements to reporters into the record and forgo taking her testimony. latimes.com/politics/story…

Watching the first weeks of Joe Biden’s presidency unfold on TV from her Bronx apartment, Natalia Imperatori-Lee saw a bit of herself in America’s new leader.
latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Like her, a mom of two Catholic school kids, Biden was a regular at Sunday Mass. In clips of him in the Oval Office, she glimpsed the rosary peeking out from his sleeve — reminding her of the prayer beads in the Cuban American home where she grew up.
After four years of a nominally Christian president who surrounded himself with conservative evangelicals, the Biden era has begun with a starkly different approach to religion.

The Senate on Saturday is expected to close the second impeachment trial of former President Trump with a vote that falls far short of the 67 that Democrats would need for conviction.

From @jenhab and @evanhalper: latimes.com/politics/story…
While Trump’s acquittal is all but certain, he could face rebukes from several members of his own party, exposing the fissures he formed within the GOP during his presidency. latimes.com/politics/story…
At least six Republican senators could join with Democrats to convict Trump, having broken with their party earlier this week to vote that the trial is constitutional. latimes.com/politics/story…

When Matt James was introduced last year as the first Black lead of ABC’s “The Bachelor,” the announcement came with great fanfare, as executives hailed it as a pivotal move to reverse the franchise’s troubled history around issues of race latimes.com/entertainment-…
Midway through James’ season, though, “The Bachelor” has been swept up in a firestorm about race involving host Chris Harrison and one of the frontrunners for James’ affections latimes.com/entertainment-…
Following an anti-racism campaign from fans slamming “The Bachelor” for its lack of diversity, the hit dating program has — after 18 years and 40 seasons — finally found its first Black leading man in this season latimes.com/entertainment-…

Our @AmyKinLA had a video chat with Alan Kim, the adorable 9-year-old breakout star in @MinariMovie.

He told us he loves:

✅ Harry Potter
@theweeknd 🎵
✅ Legos
✅ Ice cream with rainbow sprinkles 🍨
✅ Video Games🎮📺

Oh, and of course... acting ⭐ latimes.com/entertainment-…
When "Minari" debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2020, he turned up at every screening or interview dressed like a cowboy:

Western hat, bandanna, boots and a sheriff’s badge pinned on his suede vest

In @MinariMovie, Alan plays a boy named David.

To find the perfect fit, the casting director needed a child who was fluent in both English and Korean, and resembled the actors already hired to play his parents (@steveyeun and Yeri Han) latimes.com/entertainment-…
