Earlier this month, billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Times, Patrick Soon-Shiong, dictated to the paper’s editorial board that it would not be allowed to make an endorsement for president. As a result, editorials editor Mariel Garza has now resigned in protest:

Mariel Garza, the editorials editor of the Los Angeles Times, resigned on Wednesday after the newspaper’s owner blocked the editorial board’s plans to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

“I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent,” Garza told me in a phone conversation. “In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.”

In case it wasn’t abundantly clear to the readers of this site, One Foot Tsunami endorses Kamala Harris for president in the strongest possible terms. Whatever your politics, the alternative to Harris is the staggeringly unfit for office Donald Trump. Given the reality of our country’s two-party system, a vote for Harris is an absolute must.

I urge my American readers to get out there and cast their vote for Kamala Harris, and then help others vote too. Visit vote.org to get started.
