An oil painting of a man stood to the left, looking out to the viewer with a quizzical expression while his right hand points to a sunflower. Over the sunflower is a text box that reads "people who say they don't like scones" and the man is labelled as "Me wondering 'How?!'"

The biggest change in reproductive rights in Britain in half a century has just passed the Commons. MPs have voted 379-137 to decriminalise abortion, preventing women from being prosecuted for terminating a pregnancy after 24 weeks.

You would never know it from watching Fox or Sinclair or scrolling through facebook & twitter, but LA is actually not on fire. Local news has solid on-the ground, fact-based reporting about the protests but much of it is getting drowned out by Trump's propaganda partners. My latest:
