  “Braver Than You Think: Around the World on the Trip of My (Mother’s) Lifetime” is the debut memoir by Palm Springs-based writer Maggie Downs. Part travelogue, part meditation on grief and love, Downs chronicles her journey around the globe to experience all the places her mother, struck with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, could not visit herself. This excerpt from Downs’ memoir takes place in Kigali, Rwanda, at the end of a long night at a local dance club called

  He watched the car fires, the store-front windows being smashed and the looting on television with his granddaughter in his arms. He saw the peaceful protesters trying to make a point about police violence and the angry mobs bent on destruction.
  And he watched all of it from his Upland home with a certain amount of pride.
  “People are willing to fight,” he said. “It’s part of the struggle. Positive things come from rioting. These people would rather die than be oppressed.

• Rockies manager Bud Black has high praise for Long Beach State alum Garrett Hampson

  Imagine being a rookie in Major League Baseball. You’ve already been sent down to the minors twice, your batting average is poor and you are asked to make a change in your swing with just more than a month left in the season.
  No pressure, though.
  Apparently not, because former Long Beach State shortstop Garrett Hampson handled it as well as a manager could ask. He was batting .182 at the end of April 2019 for the Colorado Rockies and was still just above the Mendoza Line at .208 in late Au

  If one can muster sympathy for politicians, the Democrats who dominate California’s Capitol might be worthy recipients.
  As the year began, the political and economic stars seemed to be in perfect alignment for them and their sycophantic allies, such as unions and advocates of health insurance for undocumented immigrants, expanding early childhood care and pre-school education, reducing homelessness, more generous social welfare benefits, and lower-cost college education.

  It will almost surely be different in ways big and small.

  After February’s auction of pollution licenses brought $613 million to state coffers, the haul for the quarterly auction in May was a paltry $25 million. The low figure was expected due to the coronavirus pandemic and shelter-in-place orders reducing travel and thus the demand for emissions allowances.  But since the high-speed rail
