Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

Overexposed LA™ continues today with a late-night portrait of the famous Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry. Today is the 15th anniversary of its opening—I think. Various sources say that it opened on October 22, 23, or 24, but in its timeline of the hall the LA Times marks the 23rd as the day it “officially opens with celebrity-heavy gala celebrations.” The Times also says that the opening was spread over three concerts, which included Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring,” John Adams’ “The Dharma at Big Sur” and a piece by movie composer John Williams. This might explain the confusion over the date.
