Altadena, population nearly 42,000, is the town where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. visited. Where sci-fi author Octavia E. Butler is buried alongside abolitionists. Where a park is named after Charles White, a local artist whose work portrayed Black history.

Against all odds, Black residents built something remarkable in Altadena. Then the fire came
The Altadena fire wiped out much of a historic black enclave in this picturesque town in the San Gabriel Valley.

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ on Disney+ looks just as violent as Netflix’s ‘Daredevil.’ And, of course, Charlie Cox is in the trailer, too.

This is real for me. I thought we were on the same page
In an increasingly provocative world, many of us seek to manage our emotions. But instead of asking whether you’re overreacting, you might ask, Am I reacting as usefully as I can?

When wyt women even cry men of color die
the Laken Riley Act is a destructive, anti-immigrant bill, fueled by and fueling xenophobia, along with grotesque fictions about defending white womanhood. it's also legal chaos. my piece:
The Laken Riley Act Spells Chaos for the Immigration System
The U.S. immigration system isn't ready for the havoc and expense this bill could unleash. But the real pain will be felt by the immigrants the bill targets.

I am a little disappointed in Sen. Ernst for not at least creating some dramatic tension before letting us know she would vote for Hegseth.

I am glad she and baby are fine but we don't have to live this way.
The mayor of Boston, Michelle Wu, apparently worked all morning before going to the hospital to have a baby in the afternoon. 😳 That is some dedication. (Also, congrats Mayor Wu and family!)
