The Trump administration is moving to weaken the Endangered Species Act, possibly threatening protections for vulnerable wildlife and opening the door to habitat loss and extinction—even as broad bipartisan support for the ESA remains strong nationwide.

When the commenters who scoffed at LA’s recent rent control measures, framing it as government theft are either foreign bots or they simply don’t understand the fragile economics so many working communities face. Welcome to financialized housing and the human toll it takes.
It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning.
The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

It’s a rare day in LA when I get to whip out my vintage slicker purchased when I was a teenager at a thrift store in suburban Denver. Always makes me think of the “Penny Lane” lyric: “And the banker never wears a mac/ In the pouring rain/ Very strange.” I wonder if Penny Lane has EV chargers?

Check out these cool stills from “The Last Act,” now playing in Europe and Iran, directed by the wonderful Shahab Hosseini. We had such a wonderful time shooting this film in Vegas during the pandemic.
And yes, the feature is as intense as the images suggest!

My good friend and fellow vegan Dr. Sy loves sharing all about her animal friends. Today she teaches us how to talk to a turkey. 🦃
And remember, animals are sentient beings, not food. Happy (non-turkey consuming) Thanksgiving!

She broke into television as the cheery Gidget and Flying Nun, but her memoir revealed some less than cheery experiences. Two Oscars (reference in headline below), two Golden Globes, three Emmys, a BAFTA and Tony nomination: Sally Field "did the work." #botd in 1946
