Forget election night. Definitive results might take days, or weeks, in very close races.

Scientists just published the most extensive analysis to date of water levels in wells worldwide. They found that groundwater depletion is widespread and worsening in California and many of the world's food-growing regions. My latest with Gabrielle LaMarr LeMee: latimes.com/environment/st…

NYT and WaPo did not shut off Slack or email access during their respective one-day strikes, per L.A. Times Guild 🦅

Again. THIS is what management is doing instead of negotiating these layoffs in good faith—not to mention our whole contract. Guild members haven’t had raises since 2021.

Management email just came through talking about how 'disappointed' they are we are walking out and I'm like, mmmkay, I'm likewise disappointed you're trying to Red Wedding the staff.

just fyi that Los Angeles Times mgmt has so far chosen to:

- dock pay for those of us participating in today's walkout
-block our access to Slack
-keep secret how many layoffs in total are planned

This is unusual. It did not happen during similar walk-outs by employees of The New York Times and The Washington Post. Some Los Angeles Times journalists have told me that this has made coordinating coverage for tomorrow difficult.
