    Imagine if anger was the force that united our community to build a safe, nourishing, and effective educational system for our children. Now that's the kind of rage I would welcome.

    • Mort Rosenblum Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    For now, anything is possible. We are all guessing at a distance. But hard truths are taking shape.

    • Paul Gordon Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    We need structural change. That means eliminating prior authorization barriers. Healthcare has been redesigned from promoting health to extracting wealth.

      Local opinion: Red-light cameras should be returned

      • Robert Nordmeyer Special to the Arizona Daily Star

      The reinstallation of the red-light cameras can be included in the RTA Next project plans. No longer should we be placed in life-threatening compromises by red-light runners.

            Halt the surge in AI data centers with national moratorium | Mitch Jones

              Gasoline prices have increased more than $1 a gallon during the last month, as President Donald Trump’s war with Iran continues.

Food prices are climbing, in part due to a logjam of global fertilizer supply -- nearly a third of which depends on the Strait of Hormuz for transit to farmers worldwide.

                As the use of artificial intelligence accelerates, several state legislatures and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders are calling for a pause on the development of AI data centers. They worry about lost jobs for working people and the potential dangers of superintelligence.

                  Letter: Desalinization is the answer

                    Middle Eastern countries that use desalinization of sea water to provide fresh water for their people include Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Israel, Algeria and Egypt. We have one such system serving San Diego.

                      Gas and diesel prices have soared since the start of the Iran war. But the situation could get worse later this year because of ethanol requirements and problems with fertilizer supply chains.

                        🎧 The hosts examine how personalized feeds amplify conflict, bury progress and leave citizens exhausted and polarized, reinforcing a distorted picture of society that feels broken and perpetually on edge.
