On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Clearly, the MAGA Bible is different. More hatred and resentment, less compassion and love.

On this day in 1956 Albert Sabin announced an oral polio vaccine, which surpassed Jonas Salk's vaccine in making polio a thing of the past for millions around the world.

Polio afflicted FDR, Mitch McConnell, Robert Redford, and many others.

Let's not let RFK Jr bring it back.

Who is leading the opposition to Prop 50?

An anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ MAGA millionaire. Munger, Musk, Theil, Yass & the usual cabal of wealthy MAGA know they need to spread as much misinfo as possible to win.

Vote YES on Prop 50!
California can do the entire nation a service on Nov 4th.

Bella Davis was a mainstay from my late teens and throughout my adulthood a a model of excellence, integrity and humanity. She and Ben Williams , another African American reporter offered insightful, professional reporting that we could trust and feel proud of.
