Once again, it is not up to the police department to determine who is and isnβt press, nor do I have any faith that possessing an LAPD press pass will actually keep journalists safe. In fact, itβs likely to do the opposite, and drive a wedge between LAPD sanctioned βpressβ and indies w/out the pass

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a disciplineβone we must practice every single day."
