Day 3, unrest continues in Los Angeles against immigration raids. Most protests are peaceful. But some agitators destroy property. Pink benches from Grand Park are used as a barricade. LAPD advance with tear gas, flash bangs to move the demonstrators back. A protester prays for peace. @latimes.com

For months @latimes.com photographer @gferaz.bsky.social has chronicled 17-yr-old Abi's life as a transgender athlete.
Due to threats against such athletes, it's a rare and important portrait, at a pivotal moment.
Kudos to Abi & @gferaz.bsky.social for letting us in.

Without freedom of the press, democracy withers. On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we recommit to protecting journalists and the First Amendment rights that protect all of us.

This is how authoritarian states are run.
This is the second video of ICE agents shattering a window in the last week rather than have some patience. And in this case, they're allegedly detaining someone who already has asylum through his wife, with no reason given at all!

Trump visiting the DOJ today is NOT NORMAL.
He will use this time to threaten his enemies with deploying the DOJ against them and to declare that he is weaponizing the federal government against his opponents.
Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year.

Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.
I support this.
Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress.
Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.
