LA Parents protest school groomers

About 150 demonstrators who oppose LGBTQ+ education marched on Monday from City Hall to the Los Angeles Unified School District headquarters, where two counterprotesters were taken into custody as dozens of officers kept the opposing groups apart after heated exchanges.

The demonstrators came from across Southern California including San Diego, Antelope Valley, Glendale and Los Angeles. A few identified themselves as parents at Saticoy Elementary School, where fighting broke out between opposing sides during a demonstration over a Gay Pride activity in June.

A terrifying fire struck Maui in 2018. Officials were warned of a repeat.

Maui officials promised to improve fire safety following the near-deadly blaze, but didn’t broadly act, according to an investigation by The Post

KAUA’ULA VALLEY, Hawaii — Burning homes have a specific kind of plastic smell, one Samantha and David Dizon know too well. So when it wafted through their windows on Aug. 8, they froze. Running outside, they saw the plumes of smoke coming from Lahaina and heard propane tanks exploding in the distance. They knew what was unfolding, because nearly five years ago, the same thing had happened to them.

Around 11 p.m. on Aug. 24, 2018, something ignited in the dry, grassy hills behind their home in the Kaua’ula Valley, a West Maui community uphill from Lahaina. Howling winds from a passing hurricane helped feed that spark, sending what the Dizons called a “wall of fire” toward their unincorporated village, where about 50 Native Hawaiian people live on ancestral (known as Kuleana) land that has been in their families for centuries.

In Spain, the “Habana Effect” Is Already a Reality

New technology, environmental policy, and bigger size are pricing Spaniards out of the market on new cars.

When the EU tolled the death knell for the combustion engine late last year, prohibiting sales of new combustion engine cars starting in 2035, the opposition warned of creating a “Habana effect.”

Cuba is famous for the old, classic cars on its streets. Behind the charming postcard aesthetic is the harsh reality that the vast majority of Cubans simply can’t afford to buy new cars and so manage the only option available—keep the old ones running.

Spain is already a bit Havana-esque when it comes to cars. The top-selling car in Spain has the following profile: it’s fifteen years old and runs on diesel.
