Here’s how -->

She shared details with The Times’ @ruthesamuel about her new vision for Black journalists.

“My argument is: This is how you actually produce great journalism. Diversity is how you have accurate coverage that actually reflects the country we live in.”
latimes.com/entertainment-…
As the inaugural Knight Chair in race and journalism at @HowardU, she said she always wished she had attended a historically Black college or university.

“That experience that they had there was just something I’ve thought a lot about”

Katie Ledecky leaves some of the most experienced people in swimming grasping for the secret to her dominance.

Genetics? An iron will? Nature versus nurture? God?

What makes Katie Ledecky so good?

latimes.com/sports/olympic…
. @katieledecky holds the world records in the 400-, 800-, and 1,500-meter freestyles... and she's got the next fastest times for each race too.

latimes.com/sports/olympic… Image
Katie Ledecky's dominance comes, in part, from her unusual intuition about what will happen in the water.

Her analytical training style and "obsessive attention to detail" help her understand races remarkably well and even predict other swimmers' times correctly. Image

Lou Correa. Raul Ruiz. Juan Vargas.

All three would go on to run for office and become members of Congress.

The spark behind the seismic shift in each man’s life: California’s infamous Proposition 187.

latimes.com/politics/story… Image
Proposition 187 was an initiative voters overwhelmingly approved in 1994 to deny services to those residing in the country illegally.

latimes.com/politics/story…
Long before a president called Mexicans crossing the southern border rapists, Proposition 187 galvanized a generation of California Latinos into civic life and Democratic politics in numbers never before seen.

Faced with an invasion of massive, illegal pot farms in California’s high desert, Los Angeles County Supervisors have voted to boost enforcement and reconsider their current ban on commercial marijuana cultivation latimes.com/california/sto… Image
The move earlier this week follows months of complaints from residents and authorities who say the large-scale black market farms have upended life in the desert latimes.com/california/sto…
Supervisors also approved a motion to devise a plan to civilly prosecute water thieves and increase local government controls over illegal cannabis and unregulated hemp.

Pet injuries at grooming salons are more common than you think.

Do we really need to get our furry friends groomed? How can we do it safely? ⬇️
latimes.com/california/sto…
Tamara’s Maltipoo died from strangulation at Healthy Spot. Aimee’s Pomeranian had part of her tail amputated after being injured by the same company.

They sued the Culver City-based pet store chain on Monday, blaming it for harming their beloved pets. latimes.com/california/sto… Image
The grooming industry is unregulated in California and most other states.

“Anybody can open a storefront and say they’re a groomer or a trainer. There are no requirements or certifications that they have to have," Daphna Nachminovitch of PETA said.

There is growing scrutiny over a 17-million-gallon sewage spill into the Santa Monica Bay, with many asking how the spill occurred and why it took so long to alert the public.

Here is a breakdown of what we know — and what we don’t:
latimes.com/california/sto… Image
Authorities are still investigating how the spill happened.

The emergency discharge at Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant in Playa del Rey began Sunday evening and ended around 4:30 a.m. Monday.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The discharge occurred after construction materials clogged the filtering screens.

Crews tried replacing the screens and diverting water but were forced to discharge the sewage through a 1-mile pipe that ends 50 feet underwater.
