Guest Commentary written by Joshua Hernandez Joshua Hernandez is an English teacher and academic decathlon coach at St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower.

St. John Chrysostom was less than two miles from Beulah Payne but it felt like another universe, one where I was convinced I wouldn’t fit in. The summer of seventh grade, Mike left St. John and joined a gang—and I made the painful decision to distance myself from him. The last time I saw Mike was at the St. John fall carnival in 2019.

It was a reflection of a larger, well-documented problem: Black children are routinely perceived as older than they actually are. This phenomenon has a name: adultification bias. The expectation that Black children should shoulder adult responsibilities — and be held to adult standards their white peers are not — is deeply rooted and widely normalized. When Black children are viewed as older, their behavior is more likely to be criminalized rather than corrected.

Wildflower expert Naomi Fraga was excited about the prospect of an extraordinary bloom this spring, after a winter of near-record rainfall, but this week’s unseasonably hot, dry weather has dimmed her hopes for a superbloom year. “Superblooms are not guaranteed every year, even after lots of rain,” said Fraga, director of conservation programs at California Botanic Garden in Claremont. “When it happens, it’s extraordinary, but you need all the stars to align, with rain, temperature and timing. And the rainy weather came at the right time to give SoCal lots of colorful blooms this spring, traditionally around mid-March through April in Southern California, Fraga said. The best hope for a potential superbloom is if SoCal gets some cool, wet weather next week, Fraga said, but the chances of that are iffy.

Summer Lin – Los Angeles TimesMore than 100 firefighters put out a fire at a two-story building Tuesday in Los Angeles that prompted evacuations, according to authorities.

No matter the size of the protests, political experts say a divided opposition makes it less likely that the regime would fall peacefully. No other opposition figure has Pahlavi’s name recognition or the nostalgia that his name evokes. The breadth of Iran’s ethnic and political diversity “is not reflected in his policies nor his performance nor in the plans he has put forward,” Mohtadi said. And Ghasseminejad said that Pahlavi’s coalition included ethnic and religious minorities and people of different political beliefs, unified by their support for Pahlavi’s leadership.

Nikki Glaser pictured ahead of the 2026 Golden Globes via Associated PressNikki Glaser has opened up about another planned joke that she ended up cutting from her Golden Globes monologue on Sunday night.
