Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.

Nice article explaining why you can't just route more water to the south without damaging things where you are routing it from. The water headed to the ocean isn't "wasted", It is performing critical functions along the way; not just saving a single endangered species.

Read the always incredible Xochitl Gonzalez on the loss of Altadena.
"There’s a secondary sadness hovering over middle-class Altadena, and certainly over anyone on the margins of poverty. Altadena will build itself back. But how? And for whom?"
