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

We’re leading a coalition of 17 AGs in support of journalists and protesters challenging DHS’s dangerous use of force during the Los Angeles protests this past summer.

We will continue to oppose threats to free, safe speech wherever and whenever they arise.

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!

LAPD & Los Angeles leaders: Take note.

Undoubtedly dozens of media organizations will write about this case after seeing this thread. Many without citing our scoop. But we don’t have the resources to report out everything we find. If you’d like to fix that, consider a paid subscription to Court Watch www.CourtWatch.news/upgrade

Hi @ktla.com, I broke this story for @lataco.bsky.social yesterday. We were the first news outlet to publish the surveillance footage and report that Rodriguez is a federal agent. Disappointing to not see a "first reported by" credit or link to our website in your story. Do better.

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!

Seriously, you need to read this. Last Saturday in Echo Park was nuts as cops preemptively invaded the area before the World Series was even over and assaulted people with batons, horses and tear gas. @shoton35mm.bsky.social pieced the violence together in fantastic reporting.

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."

Los Angeles journalists, and those tracking/defending community are truly Democracy Defenders, heroes, working in war zones daily, witnessing unjust violence. Support ANY way you can @lataco.bsky.social Lataco.com/echo-park-world-series-2025 by @shoton35mm.bsky.social

Here's @cd13.lacity.gov's statement on the Short Stop incident: β€œThe video is incredibly disturbing. Especially considering the tactics we're seeing from the federal government, everyone in the city should be demonstrating what the rule of law looks like, instead of using their same playbook”

Let's not forget the time in early 2021 when the LAPD stopped issuing press passes due to some unexplained software issue.

Be sure to also note @adamrose.bsky.social's assessment of why declaring an unlawful assembly to shut down a bar DURING THE FINAL GAME OF THE WORLD SERIES sets a chilling precedent: β€œUsing unlawful assembly this way is like pre-crime or thought-crime enforcement"
