GOP is hiding frompolicies’ unpopularity
Re: “Restive Democrats vent frustrations” (Web page A1, March 30).
Sunday’s front-page article on “Restive Democrats” ought to actually have been headlined, “Restive voters.”
The unlawful efforts of Donald Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk to wreck our authorities are deeply unpopular with everybody. Their actions are so disliked that the Home Republican Congressional Committee suggested their members to cease holding in-person city halls as a result of their voters are so upset.
This nation is not going to get heading in the right direction so long as Republican politicians hold hiding from the reality.

Article didn’t capturebreadth of Taylor’s imaginative and prescient
Re: “Frank Taylor’s mixed legacy for San Jose” (Web page A6, March 27).
Scott Herhold’s recollection of Frank Taylor was appreciated. As optimistic because it was in tone and content material, it didn’t seize the essence of Frank or his imaginative and prescient of town.
With the help of the Metropolis Council, the Redevelopment Company targeted on making the downtown a spot residents would declare as their very own and never some distant void within the ever-expanding universe of San Jose. The primary key to this imaginative and prescient was to construct high quality product that may final by the vagaries of budgets. The second was to create a downtown through which youngsters might be engaged in cultural occasions that may maintain their pursuits into maturity and thereby grow to be a multigenerational vacation spot and supply of civic pleasure and engagement.

Google does disserviceby ignoring Chavez
The place was Google on March 31? There was no point out of Cesar Chavez’s birthday. Chavez co-founded the Nationwide Farmworkers Affiliation alongside Dolores Huerta. Nothing even within the Doodle Library since 2013.
Now’s the time to be considering critically in regards to the narratives we share. Many people spend our time speaking in regards to the world’s issues, criticizing faraway locations’ social circumstances, and eagerly adoring histories that haven’t formed our at this time. Failure to acknowledge the works of Chavez and different civil rights leaders contributes to the erasure of histories extra palpable to those that reside, work, worship, play and battle beside us. The fruits of the labor of farmworkers on this valley produced the fertile land the place the present Google headquarters lies.
We hope Google can acknowledge the numerous contributors of this valley, like Cesar Chavez and the motion for labor rights, in years to come back.

Protests dishonorwork of DOGE, Musk
Re: “Restive Democrats vent frustrations” (Web page A1, March 30).
After watching myriad Tesla and Elon Musk protests, it’s apparent not one of the contributors have bothered to go to DOGE.gov. If that they had, they might notice their senseless slogans are fully misplaced and misguided. It’s clear when requested why they’re protesting, the scripted response and Hitler references lack any critical legitimacy or logic.
Blind hate of Donald Trump has this group objecting to a respectable probability to save lots of our nation from the rising gap our authorities paperwork retains digging. It’s time for these people to open their eyes.

Pardon one other steptoward U.S. oligarchy
Re: “Convicted of fraud, Nikola founder is pardoned” (Web page A4, March 29).
I believed Donald Trump was ill-advised to pardon the entire group of Capitol pillagers however famous it as an effort to achieve civilian help from individuals with aggressive tendencies.
He simply pardoned Trevor Milton, who pulled a quick one on traders along with his electrical car, Nikola, that didn’t run. Sentenced to 4 years in jail, Milton’s luck got here as payback for his $1.8 million donation to Trump’s reelection marketing campaign.
The enterprise sense of Trump was shockingly proven in pushing Volodymyr Zelenskyy right into a nook, demanding management of Ukraine’s minerals to repay for struggle supplies. Trump sees the Gilded Age of oligarchs ruling the nation because the America he seeks to convey again. Medicaid is beneath extreme assault, and Medicare and Social Safety are subsequent. His whole entourage performs their half properly, basked in schadenfreude.
It’s clear that Trump needs to run issues together with the oligarchs, however democracy is in the best way.

Trump needs it bothways on schooling
Re: “Gender notification law draws ire of feds as probe initiated” (Web page A1, March 28).
I’m each amused and appalled by at this time’s article concerning the persecution of the state of California by the U.S. Division of Training, concerning AB 1955, which prohibits colleges from requiring employees to inform households if their baby makes use of a reputation that differs from the one on their beginning certificates or makes use of a pronoun that doesn’t conform with the kid’s acknowledged gender.
Donald Trump has acknowledged many instances that he needs the Division of Training to be dismantled in favor of states governing their very own techniques of public schooling, and now he needs to prosecute his enemy, the state of California, beneath federal schooling legal guidelines. Nice job, Trump, attempting to have your cake and eat it, too.
