L.A. PEOPLE: KCRW warned te return to normal air flow means 4-5 days of the worst air since the fires. Today, I’m guessing, day 1. Wear a mask. Don’t trust your phone. Instead, check networked sensor sights. (PurpleAir below, or LAUSD air quality.) This will pass, but stay healthy.

Remember:

"The administrative removal warrant authorizes the ICE officer to arrest the subject, but not to enter into an REP area such as his or her home unless consent to enter is given."

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

More people should have been saying this all along.

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

Impacted By The Fires? Here’s How To Apply For FEMA Assistance

There are some who say “your life won’t change much when trump is President” and I get why they’re saying that in the sense that I’m well off and a citizen who was born here to parents who aren’t gonna be deported either, but all else aside fuck yourself, I have a conscience

It's a trip, but it's really good!
