Lots of anti-ICE signs at No Kings rally in Woodland, California. Thing about police agencies is they need public support to carry out their jobs.

Trump released assassination files on a day I read the Boston Globe’s President Kennedy memorial issue dated Dec. 8, 1963. See the crowd size from Nov. 7, 1960. The last line is from a speech JFK was to deliver in Dallas: “America’s leadership must be guided by the lights of learning and reason.”

Ken Khachigian talks about his memoir “Behind closed doors” with California State Librarian Greg Lucas. Ken, aide to Nixon and Reagan, is worth hearing, no matter your politics. He’s the guy who came up with the phrase in 1980, Are you better off today than you were four years ago. Reprised in 2024.
