VOICES

GUEST COMMENTARY - There’s been a great deal of criticism with tech billionaire Elon Musk’s takeover of the Twitter social media channel.

THE VIEW FROM HERE - Whether the lies come from Donald Trump or from the Los Angeles Times, lies breed violence. 

ACCORDING TO LIZ - Yesterday was National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, a time of figurative rending of garments and reliving one horrible incident – Japanese Zeros dive-bombing the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor out of the rising sun. 

LABOR WATCH - U.S. Rail Unions went into this bargaining season with not a single day of paid sick leave in their Contract.

MARK, MY WORDS - “The good old days.” I suppose it means something different to everyone depending on political point of view, cultural background or any number of other things that make us who we are.

GUEST COMMENTARY - Antisemitism in any form is deeply offensive. In recent weeks, however, we’ve seen examples of two types of Jew-hatred that represent different kinds and levels of threat.

RAILROAD WORKERS - The United States Senate acted in a show of rare unity recently in voting 80 to 15 to pass a bill forcing rail workers to accept their employers’ contract offer without a strike.

ELECTION ANALYSIS - Social Security was on the ballot in Georgia’s December 6 run-off election. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock’s re-election is a win for working families.
