We’re currently focused on two BIG projects.
A deeply-reported investigation looking at the use of “less-lethal” police armaments at protests.
Digitizing all of the data that we’ve collected while producing the Daily Memo, L.A. TACO’s nightly show that summarizes all of the ICE raids in Southern California, ensuring it’s protected and preserved for the future
Hey, @lataco.bsky.social is raising money to launch an investigative news unit; their current priorities involve looking into "less lethal" weapons used on protesters and more thorough documentation of ICE kidnapping.

Melrose was supposed to undergo a complete streets makeover from Highland to Fairfax that would have installed stormwater gardens to mitigate flooding, among other critical safety improvements. The previous councilmember killed the project

Essay: Ricky Martin's Super Bowl performance was an act of justice for the 1990s
Though it lasted only 30 seconds, Martin's Super Bowl moment was a symbolic demonstration of how far Latin music has come in the United States.
with respect to every other outlet, no one has done a better job at covering the cultural impact of Bad Bunny before AND after his Super Bowl performance better than @latimes.com De los section. Here’s a thread, starting with this thoughtful essay on Ricky Martin

No we don’t you worthless lump of campaign bribes, we want ICE abolished and every person who committed crimes, as well as those who allowed it to happen, prosecuted. Go fucking retire, you’ve done enough damage already.

The LAPD has no problem criminalizing all of the great folks out today on the streets (the constant drum of sirens + helicopters is deafening), but it won’t enforce the anti-masking law against ICE.
What are we paying for? Why are we bankrupting our city for this?

This is where @mayor.lacity.gov should tell Chief McDonnell that he is fired and the LA City Council should reduce the police budget to $0 until the rank-and-file decides they want to enforce the laws they are paid to enforce.

Democrats are not serious people and I'm lost on why anyone should for them. They're not an opposition party. They don't take big swings. They smother any progressive in their party that offers voters anything voters have asked for. What is the point of these people.

So, so much of the response to Good called her "a mom," even erasing her wife to make her seem more like a "normal" Wife and Mother. Pretti also has a family, but I haven't heard anything about them -- just about him and his values. He valued calling out sexism, so it's worth pointing out.

My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.
