β€˜All the trees are dead’: An ancient California forest has been wiped out Old growth forests across the West are at risk of disappearing within 50 years. The Teakettle Experimental Forest is a tragic example in California.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order β€” one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state β€” stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activistβ€”Harmeet Dhillonβ€”currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

American Racism Is a National Security Threat Foreign bots were spewing much of the racist rhetoric that followed Charlie Kirk's killing. And yet it gained traction only because there is plenty of homegrown racism to exploit.

Twitter's digital infrastructure and Musk himself are part of the reason why bad bots can spread their racist messages far and wide. But so is too many Americans’ willingness to hear it.

A strawberry delivery driver arrested by Border Patrol tries to make his way home Angel Minguela Palacios was arrested in Little Tokyo last month. He spent weeks in immigration detention, hoping to get home to the love of his life and their three children.

Last month, I wrote about Angel Minguela Palacios, who was arrested by Border Patrol while delivering strawberries.

On Thursday, I was with his partner and their three kids when they welcomed him home after he spent more than a month in ICE detention www.latimes.com/california/s...

I used to think that mass deportation was mostly about racism and white nationalism. But I realize now that some of it is just corruption and bags of cash.

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

It’s true that you’re probably not going to convert someone by roundly humiliating them for being a moron - but you’ll convert a lot of people who may have silently agreed in a totally permissive environment, but do not want to end up similarly labeled a moron.
