Over the last decade, Los Angeles has seen a major decline in green spaces between the city and the county due to construction and environmental problems. The recent wildfires collectively burned over 57,000 acres, making the land brittle and desolate. The Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) is answering the call to action to create more parks, green space, climate resilience, and access to nature for the communities that need it most.

Tariffs set to take effect Tuesday will impose a 25% levy on imports from Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% on Chinese goods. The Trump administration insists the move will protect American industries, but economists and civil rights leaders warn the fallout will be devastating for African Americans and other marginalized communities. Prices on everyday essentials are expected to rise sharply. The U.S. imports 63% of its vegetables and nearly half of its fruits and nuts from Mexico, making grocery costs an immediate concern.

In the past two months, the world watched in horror as flames ravaged the Los Angeles area, forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate. Nearly 12,000 homes and structures were destroyed as fierce winds spread the fire, paralyzing entire communities. The sky was thick with smoke as firefighters battled the uncontrollable blaze with limited resources. Lives were lost, homes destroyed, memories erased, and landscapes forever altered—leaving the region in turmoil....

Last month, about 100 reparations advocates met at the State Capitol to build support for bills they backed that didn’t make it to the Assembly floor for votes during the last legislative session.

During the day-long event — titled Reparations Education and Advocacy Day (R.E.A.D) — members of 20 grassroots organizations announced that they were willing to work with any lawmaker, Republican or Democrat, who would help to advance their cause.
Last week, the advocates found support in an unlikely campaigner: Bill Essayli (R-Corona), a Republican lawmaker, who just last year stated he does not support using taxpayer money to pay for reparations.

MSNBC has parted ways with Joy Reid, marking the departure of another prominent Black woman from the network. Reid joins Rashida Jones, the first Black woman to head a major cable news network, along with Melissa Harris-Perry and Tiffany Cross. All four women brought critical, unapologetic perspectives on race, politics, and power—voices that many believe are being systematically eliminated.

Throughout history, media has played a pivotal role in creating and altering how the masses receive news. While media personnel should gather and report from an unbiased view, they often do the opposite because of higher powers. People in higher positions of power have used the news to sway the public and influence them to adopt certain ideologies that have led to massacres, genocide, slavery, the creation of false stereotypes, and validation for people to be racist and prejudiced against certain groups of people. Dr. Allissa Richardson,

Target Corporation, which recently scaled back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, is facing financial consequences, community backlash, and new legal challenges from both sides of the political spectrum. The retail giant’s decision to retreat from its DEI commitments and Pride Month merchandise has drawn conservative-led lawsuits while also fueling boycotts and economic pressure from civil rights groups.

The luxury of having different methods to escape reality is something most people can’t afford. Whether financial, mental, or emotional, the burden of life gives people the illusion they can’t take a break while figuring things out. Taking a break from life doesn’t always mean taking some luxurious vacation or expensive spa day, but it could be as simple as reading a book.
