"At the end of what we were told was a successful meeting, the officer used the excuse of a broken copier to trick her into walking away from our lawyer. Once separated from her legal counsel, she was arrested." ICE are a bunch of cowards.

So top Portland cops wrote & *testified* that fed agents have been "instigating and causing" conflict. They said agents were firing pepper balls unprovoked and "without any apparent warning" When a Portland chief called a federal agent w/ Qs, the agent hung up. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

The advice in this piece applies to any U.S. city. “What we’re seeing with ICE and the National Guard, more specifically, is the presence of a military force in communities.” thetriibe.com/2025/09/d-c-...

Federal prosecutors in L.A. have indicted three women for allegedly 'doxing' an ICE agent. My latest: www.latimes.com/california/s...

If a working journalist cannot say that something true happened solely because it reflects badly on the subject, their publication has no interest in truth.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Good morning! This is your occasional depressing reminder that - in addition to all of the other horrible things - Musk, Trump, and some asshole who goes by "Big Balls" have certainly stolen our personal information - SSNs, addresses, birthdays, tax filings, health records, and all the rest. 1/?

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

Labor unions and other organizations organized a march to demand the end to the military occupation of DC today.

After over 150 years, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will stop publishing a print newspaper at the end of the year

After 3 months on RUBS strike - paying rent but not crazy utility bills - the Virgil Square Tenants Association in Koreatown has gotten more than $20,000 returned to tenants for what their landlord Equity Residential says were "higher-than-expected" costs over 18 months! BANRUBS.ORG

Understatement of the fucking year right here.

In Los Angeles, gasoline was found in a drinking water aquifer. Phillips 66 has removed millions of tons of polluted water from its closing refinery, but more remains. Residents of Wilmington demand a plan to clean it.

Surveillance company Flock is now using AI to report us to police if the bot registers *our everyday movements* as “suspicious” www.aclu.org/news/nationa...

The @apnews.com story on the past 24 hours feels like malpractice to me. I don't understand how this credulous presentation works, journalistically. Half of these opening four paragraphs is just taking the Trump administration's absurd presentation as fact.

Gavin Newsom is openly boosting a Nazi account on Twitter now

This is the same eugenic belief system that many still hold re: the ongoing pandemic. They believe people’s deaths from covid are acceptable if they’re medically vulnerable. It’s a disgusting ableist belief system and this rhetoric surrounding children in Gaza is the natural consequence of that

New — I wrote about the violent assault on a DC delivery worker this morning by masked federal agents, and how these agents have made the disturbing turn from quiet thugs to playing for the cameras.

NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning. Please take care when watching.

Dr Yael Harrari, a graduating medical student at Tel Aviv University, protested Israel’s war on Gaza at her commencement by wearing a T-shirt reading: “Do no genocide."

Hey local news lovers - LA’s hardest working journalist is going to be out of action while he heals up. Can we show @acatwithnews.bsky.social some love and financial support while he takes the time to recover without worrying about making ends meet ❤️ venmo.com/u/ACatWithNews

Hi everyone! I’ve unfortunately been diagnosed with a likely rib fracture from the hospital. Likely it occurred on Friday, August 8 during a protest where I was in the middle of asking for a PIO/supervisor. As is clear in the video, I waited for a moment for a break in the line moving forward.

Sean’s request for a PIO or supervisor is required by a judge’s temporary restraining order against LAPD. He’s literally saying the word “TRO” when LAPD breaks his rib. Yesterday @lapressclub.bsky.social filed a contempt motion. Today LAPD lawyers opposed it. Let’s see what the judge says …

ICE used your taxpayer dollars to trick out a bunch of trucks in new livery, all painted black with "ICE" and a logo printed in gold on the side (and Trump's name in gold on the back window), then shoot a rap video in DC to post on social media. I am not making this up.

How was Trump BLS nominee EJ Antoni identified in the crowd at Jan. 6? He was spotted in one of the many Parler videos archived by @propublica.org You can see him cross through the bottom-center portion of the screen starting at around 1:41 in this clip: projects.propublica.org/parler-capit...

The Air Force offered transgender troops who had 15-18 years of service a chance to get early retirement. Several applied and got it approved. This month the Air Force backtracked, denying at least a dozen people their already approved retirement orders. New @taskandpurpose.com

Morning and thank you everyone for your support. The LAPD just rushed in last night and started beating people. They didn’t give warning or call an unlawful assembly at that time. A few officers were very aggressive and brutal wit the press who were in a group on the sidewalk on the right.

Greetings! I’m here at Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. Union del Barrio is holding a press conference regarding the detention of Amanda “Mandy” Trebach earlier today by federal agents. Trebach was volunteering as a community defender. W/ @melbuer.bsky.social

And yesterday the fucking Arizona Supreme Court used an AI “reporter” to announce that a man’s death sentence was being upheld:

BREAKING: Trump administration asks #SCOTUS to lift federal judge's order barring "roving" immigration raids in Los Angeles area. Filing says 1 in 10 residents of the district are undocumented immigrants. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

A former “Alligator Alcatraz” worker says detainees are subject to “inhumane” conditions — packed by the hundreds into cages without sunlight, with overflowing toilets and limited access to showers.

Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.

important sections of the constitution have suddenly disappeared from congress' website—some of which the administration has publicly targeted, including habeas corpus www.404media.co/constitution...

Since federal agents began their mass deportation campaign in L.A. in early June, multiple U.S. citizens have been detained by immigration authorities. From ‪@cerisecastle.bsky.social‬ with ‪@capitalandmain.bsky.social‬:

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan. And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.

BREAKING: Federal authorities open investigation into former Trump prosecutor Jack Smith for alleged illegal political activity.

A university scientist who discovered alarming levels of toxic chemicals in a lake in southeastern Louisiana was abruptly removed from her research position this week without explanation

It doesn't get bigger for voting rights: SCOTUS basically just announced it'll take up the question next year of whether Section 2 of the VRA is constitutional: electionlawblog.org?p=151301

question... and this is for the class... How can you determine if a person is a U.S. Citizen ? because i don't believe you can eyeball citizenship

Excuse my language but what fucking business is it of the united states government whether Brown undertakes this kind of medical care for parents and their kids who fully consent to it and desire it? Insanity! Pure discrimination in an agreement trollingly cloaked in preventing discrimination.
