Hiding from ICE in LA After raids and protests, many people in Los Angeles are sheltering in place, fearful of deportation.

The daily fear of simply living in LA, under a constant threat from ICE, has upended life for undocumented immigrants.

For many, it means sheltering in placeβ€”avoiding work, social life, or even a walk outside.

Official description yadda:
Nothing makes an aspiring author more jittery than the idea of a literary agent reading their manuscript. Queries (oh my!) seem like the first big step toward going β€œpublic” with one’s work.

If you think resisting the nazis was only about active violence, & not also about the grinding & halting of gears, the bureaucratic sabotage, the disruption of process, then go reassess what you understand about history.

It's not everything, but it's a slowdown for them, & breathing space for us.

Legendary journalist K.W. Lee dead at the age of 96 – AsAmNews K.W. Lee's groundbreaking series led to the reversal of a conviction of Chol Soo Lee, a man wrongfully convicted of a Chinatown murder in San Francisco.

A legend has passed. K.W. Lee was a towering figure in journalism, Koreatown, Asian America and the pursuit of truth and justice. So gratified that Julie Ha and Eugene Yi centered K.W. in "Free Chol Soo Lee." Deepest sympathy to his family and loved ones.
