Pasadena’s Path to Annexing Altadena: A Post-Eaton Fires Perspective

The aftermath of the Eaton Canyon fires has reignited discussions about Pasadena’s potential annexation of Altadena, a historically independent unincorporated community in Los Angeles County. While the idea of annexation has been floated for decades, the recent devastation from wildfires presents new practical and political considerations that could tip the scales toward unification. The Eaton fires have underscored the vulnerabilities of Altadena’s infrastructure, particularly in terms of emergency response, public safety, and disaster recovery. Unlike Pasadena, which operates its own well-funded fire department and emergency management services, Altadena relies on the Los Angeles County Fire Department, which must allocate resources across a vast area. The fires have exposed the limitations of this arrangement, leading some residents to question whether integration with Pasadena would offer better protections and resources. 1. Improved Emergency Services and Infrastructur...

How Salem Beat Portland To Become The State Capitol of Oregon

When people find out that Oregon’s capital isn’t its biggest or most well-known city, the common reaction is: “Why Salem?” The answer involves a messy blend of 1800s politics, regional rivalries, and some suspiciously timed fires. Salem’s path to becoming Oregon’s capital was anything but straightforward. In 1848, when the Oregon Territory was officially established, Oregon City became its first capital. It made sense at the time — it was the political and judicial center of the region, and the U.S. government had already placed key offices there. But as the population grew and settlers spread throughout the Willamette Valley, many started to question whether Oregon City, perched on the edge of the territory, was the right place for long-term governance. In 1851, the territorial legislature voted to move the capital to Salem. Located more centrally in the Willamette Valley and accessible by river, Salem offered an advantage in geography. More importantly, it had pol...

Pasadena v. Portland: Who Wore The Rose First?

🌹 Who Wore the Rose First? Pasadena vs. Portland in the Ultimate Petal-Off “Two cities. One nickname. And more roses than a Bachelor finale.” It’s time to settle the score: Which city is the real “Rose City”—Pasadena or Portland? Both cities have roses baked deep into their identities. They boast epic festivals, flower-studded floats, and the kind of civic pride that blooms eternal. But who started it all? And more importantly, who owns it now? Let’s dig into this thorny (but fragrant) debate with a side-by-side comparison—and some lovingly pruned sass. 🌴 Pasadena: The Original Rose Royalty Pasadena, California, wasn’t just first to flirt with floral fame—it came in hot with a full-on flower parade back in 1890 . The Valley Hunt Club , likely wearing pocket watches and monocles, launched the first Tournament of Roses Parade as a flex. The goal? Show off Pasadena’s gorgeous January weather to their snowed-in friends back East. “While other cities were scraping windshields, Pas...

How the Strickland Standard Protects Injustice in the Criminal Legal System

In a justice system built upon the ideals of fairness, accountability, and constitutional protection, one legal standard has quietly eroded public trust and constitutional integrity: the Strickland standard. Established in *Strickland v. Washington* (1984), this two-pronged test was intended to serve as a safeguard against ineffective assistance of counsel, a right guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment. Instead, it has become a powerful shield—protecting systemic failures, excusing attorney misconduct, and undermining the very rights it was supposed to defend. Under Strickland, a defendant seeking post-conviction relief must demonstrate two things: first, that their attorney's performance fell below an objective standard of reasonableness; and second, that there is a reasonable probability that, but for the attorney's errors, the outcome of the proceeding would have been different. This second prong—the "prejudice" requirement—is where the standard becomes dee...

Since Donald Trump was re-elected, his government has tried to reshape elite universities by threatening to withhold fede...
