It is wild that the LA jails are so dilapidated and dirty that the medical examiner bothers making note of it in autopsy reports.

Thankful for outpouring of support from 16 states+DC in our LA Press Club case against DHS.
I started taking screenshots, but too much good stuff to highlight! Check out crowd-control munitions section starting page 8. Bravo!

Clip π₯ [β¦]
Snapshot of current ECMWF model ensemble prediction of precipitation over the next 2 weeks for a point near Los Angeles. 2-4 inches of rain are highly likely this weekend, which represents a major November storm! But only 1 in 51 (<2%) of ensemble members show ~10 inches of rain this week--making it an extreme, and very unlikely, outlier.
California weather PSA:
Fact: Major SoCal storm *is* likely this weekend, w/2-4 inches of rain & t-storms possible in LA (more in mtns) & notable flood/debris flow risk in some spots.
Context: Snapshots showing ~10 inches of rain are extreme outliers, & very unlikely!
Thank you sir!

2k words + a trip to the ER later (I'm OK), here is my latest story for @lataco.bsky.social about the LAPD'S response to World Series celebrations in L.A.. I spoke to a man who was headed to the Gold Room for a nightcap and had to undergo surgery after being hit in the finger with a "ruber bullet."
