It’s not nearly enough that Harvey Weinstein just got 15 years in New York for sexually assaulting Miriam Haley in 2006. The people in Hollywood who knew and still took the meetings, the money, and the prestige are at fault too. They need to face accountability. Today’s sentence came after an overturned conviction, two mistrials, and years of delay. Weinstein is 74, with cancer and the rest of it. Fifteen years means he dies in a cell. That’s where he belongs. Haley had to testify twice. She said the process felt like she was the one on trial. She got belittled on the stand and harassed online. The DA asked for 20 years and said Weinstein hasn’t shown an ounce of remorse. The judge gave him 15. California still has to resentence him on the Los Angeles case. Hollywood spent a decade pretending this was a surprise. It wasn’t. Weinstein ran that town. The courtroom finally did what the industry refused to do. New York closed its chapter today. Haley shouldn’t have had to walk through it twice to get there. The people who protected Weinstein never paid a price. They still owe one.

🌳 Goodbye asphalt. Hello trees, shade, and a greener schoolyard. A greener, cooler schoolyard is now open at Esperanza Elementary School. Esperanza is one of five Los Angeles-area campuses benefiting from improvements that replace asphalt with trees, permeable surfaces, outdoor classrooms, natural play features, and other nature-based features. Recently, CAL FIRE joined partners in celebrating the unveiling of this transformed campus, made possible through Green Schoolyard grant funding awarded to the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust. These investments help reduce playground temperatures while creating healthier, cleaner, and more welcoming spaces for students to learn, play, and connect with nature. Trees and vegetation also help improve air quality, filter stormwater, reduce pollutants entering local waterways, and support healthier soils by stabilizing the ground and improving its ability to absorb water.
