The Supreme Court should preserve the status quo until legal questions are resolved and explain the disposition of cases for the public. They are abdicating basic principles of equity and failing to fulfill their institutional role. They aren’t pretending to try. There isn’t even the veneer of law.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

I’m not sure how to express how intensely personal these raids feel as an Angeleno. Whatever stereotypes you have in your head about La-La-Land, immigrants are the lifeblood of this city. It’s an assault on what we love about this place.

Screw the arts
The National Endowment for the Arts withdrew and canceled grant offers to numerous arts organizations around the country on Friday night, sending a round of email notifications out just hours after President Trump proposed eliminating the agency in his next budget.

I'm sorry, but a president who posts an image of himself as pope as the Vatican prepares for Conclave is deeply inappropriate and, to my mind, a sign of mental illness

Perhaps it would be helpful if the Supreme Court took the initiative and clarified the limits of the executive branch, before months or even years of damage are inflicted on government institutions
