Lake Tahoe is as clear as it’s been in 40 years, an encouraging sign of the lake’s health amid a longterm trend in which its famous clarity has deteriorated.
We are living in Trump’s wildest dream of a pandemic response: institutionalized denial, testing inaccessible, numbers hidden and buried, deaths never spoken of, silent and fawning press, victims hidden from view. This pandemic is a stain on this nation and the world
