Your patron saints for the 2026 election (opens the original)
Read excerpt
War in the Middle East. The hottest summer on record in the U.S. AI getting as scary as "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." An eroding coastline. A president who spends more time posting pathetic memes than improving the lives of everyday Americans. It sure seems like we're living in the End Times, right? Why, we haven't even reached the most frightening part of 2026: Election Day, when false prophets will besmirch ballots as the Great Deceiver, also known as President Donald Trump, does everything po
Dolly Parton stood up for undocumented immigrants when few others would (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By Gustavo Arellano, Los Angeles Times (TNS) My favorite Dolly Parton song is nowhere near her most famous and not even among her best. But if you want to honor the late country music legend's legacy — a testament to the Gospel's radical notions of love, acceptance and uplifting the marginalized — you need to blast her cover of Woody Guthrie's "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)." Guthrie wrote the weeper in 1948 to commemorate a plane crash in California's Central Valley that killed all 32 pas

By Gustavo Arellano, Los Angeles Times (TNS) Javier Ramirez was handcuffed in the back of an unmarked car, bruised and confused, when immigration agents used a word he had never heard before.

The joy and heartbreak of adopting a senior dog (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By Gustavo Arellano, Los Angeles Times (TNS) Cosmo and Hook came into my life in the summer of 2020. My wife, Delilah, found them on the website of Frosted Faces Foundation, a nonprofit in the northern San Diego County town of Ramona that rescues senior dogs. She immediately wanted the furry Yorkie and the skinny Chihuahua; I didn't. Adopting pets in the winter of their lives seemed like a quick heartbreak only a masochist would want, I argued. We didn't need any more burdens, emotional or finan
History tell us that Trump's noncitizen voting fraud claims will backfire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thirty years ago this fall, a Republican politician cried electoral fraud after losing a close race. Orange County, Calif., Rep. Bob Dornan couldn't accept the most logical explanations for why Loretta Sanchez beat him in a historic upset: that voters had tired of his polarizing politics. That his Latino-majority district wanted one of their own to represent them. That he was an ideologue who never brought anything back from D.C. for his constituents. Instead, Dornan and his supporters settled o
