13 years ago we went on our first trip to Austria. We actually stayed at the former home of the Trapp family which was turned into a hotel just 5k out of Salzburg. Salzburg turned out to be our favourite European city because we came back to it last year.

Karen Bass’s LAPD is openly defying a judge’s order to hand over moonlighting records, and it's obvious why. They are desperately hiding a shadow workforce where cops moonlight for ICE contractors, creating blatant conflicts of interest. It's time to enforce the subpoena and demand accountability.

Glad to see the news media standing in unison against Trump and for the First Amendment. But they have a lot more work to do…

Redbone is an American band that was originally formed in Los Angeles in 1969 by brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas. All members during their commercial peak were of Chicano and Native American heritage, something heavily reflected in their songs, stage regalia, and album art.
