If you're an L.A. resident, something major is wrong with your electric bill. It would be easy to fix but LADWP isn't interested. https://t.co/4aF6qg7BgE

If you own or rent a home in California, you need to read this story by L.A.'s new nonprofit newsroom. The state might require drastic changes to the area around your house. What do you think? Good science or a foolish, costly policy based on too little? https://t.co/NKllZByAj3

Every time I think my former newspaper has reached an ethical bottom, the owner of the L.A. Times proves me wrong. What can you do about it? Cancel your subscription and tell them why. This cannot be allowed to continue. https://t.co/LxoRxBkrFM

A terrific interviewer on Texas Public Radio had me on his talk show this week to talk about the employer movement to value skills over school degrees. Turns out that he forged a journalism career and became an NPR affiliate host without a bachelor's! https://t.co/VhdLHGqqgZ

Go, @kklein100:
I have read a lot of columns about decisions not to endorse made by owners of the LA Times and Washington Post. The most compelling argument I have come across is Karin Klein's. She's now a former member of the LA Times editorial board. Via @Jon_Allsop

Powerful words from my former @latimes colleague Tony Barboza. "Now is the time to stand resolutely against Trump's racism and xenophobia."

Trump is hoping to ride racism and xenophobia into office again. Americans must show him how wrong he is.

Sidebar message from a staffer in the WaPo newsroom Zoom chat during this afternoon’s meeting
During a meeting this afternoon with staff, WaPo top editor Matt Murray thanked employees for their hard work and apologized for hardship the non-endorsement caused the newsroom. But added "It’s done, it’s happened" and now the question is how the paper moves forward.

I am one of the three members of the LA Times editorial board who resigned over the owner's craven decision not to endorse. Here is my column in the Hollywood Reporter about why this was different from an ordinary disagreement between board and owner.

High school students who aren't planning on college say it's all they hear about at school, a Gallup Poll finds. Only a fifth get any guidance about the many jobs and careers that don't require a bachelor's. I discuss this on NPR's "It's Been A Minute."

It's September, which means millions of young learners across the country are dusting off their backpacks and heading back to school. But a new study from Gallup and The Walton Family Foundation has...

What does the Democratic National Convention have to do with finding good careers for people who didn't graduate college? Quite a bit, as it turns out. https://t.co/D0wE7C7oL4

At the Democratic National Convention last week, more leaders were talking about the need to create well-paid careers for people who don’t obtain a bachelor’s degree. That's a big change.
