I found a tree full of about 20 parrots! This was a successful Sunday

Interesting fact of the day: An LAUSD and LA City program known as YouthSource has a branch office located in a building owned by Stephen Miller’s father. The West LA YouthSource center is a tenant in a building owned by Cordary Inc, a Miller family company

I never thought Donald Trump and Stephen Miller would be the ones to finally force me into being a defender of the 2nd Amendment.

Greetings! I’m in Minneapolis today in sight where federal agents have shot a man reportedly during a federal immigration raid. Things are tense, there’s chemical irritant in the air and people are arriving en masse.

Unfortunately, showing the Kendall Jenner Pepsi commercial does not make the cops chill out

LAPD tried arresting a legal observer tonight

People are confronting DHS right outside the federal detention center in downtown LA. Feds are ordering people to disperse

RIGHT NOW: Large march through downtown LA calling to abolish ICE and stop the invasion of Venezuela

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets. Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party. This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

My City Council representative, Katy Yaroslavsky, has an extra finger on her holiday postcard. Did Katy use AI to generate her postcard photo?!!

I used to think all seals were cute until today when I saw a fully grown male Elephant Seal for the first time.

I think Bari Weiss serves a useful purpose. Way too many Americans believe that the people in positions of power are in that position because of their merit. Bari Weiss reminds everyone that most of the people in power are just talentless and entitled trust fund babies.

If you’re on your high horse, you need to get off. Horses aren’t supposed to smoke weed and it’s not safe to ride them when they’re high.

Just ran the Long Beach half marathon in 2:05

I’m not a big fan of the LAPD Santa

The Scientology float at the Hollywood Christmas Parade didn’t go very well for them

At Thanksgiving dinner tonight, one of the guests I sat next to had an ankle monitor. The ankle monitor was forced on him by ICE after they kidnapped him a few months ago and refused to release him until he agreed to wear it. He has been in the US for 9 years on a legal work visa

LA City Council just voted to approve a revision to the city’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance for the first time in over 40 years. Rent stabilized units in the city will now be capped at a maximum of 4% for annual rent raises

Every detail of our lives are being tracked and monitored by the largest surveillance operation in human history because this guy feels insecure about his masculinity

I am still working on finding out the origins of the unidentified aircraft that was circling the No Kings protest in downtown LA on October 18th. DHS and CBP have given me 6-9 months for the expected timeline on receiving a response to my FOIA request for their flight records

A thread of videos of the celebrations tonight in downtown LA after the Dodgers won the World Series 🧵 Starting with the moment the Dodgers won the game and the crowd outside Tom’s went wild:

Footage from last night in downtown LA of an LAPD officer on horseback commanding officers on foot to push protesters forward faster than they are able to move because of the crowd in front of them. Officers then start hassling protesters that are already being compliant with their orders

LAPD declared an unlawful assembly at a nonviolent No Kings protest outside the ICE detention center in downtown LA this evening

There is currently an aircraft with no call sign that has been continuously circling the No Kings protest outside LA City Hall

So apparently the food delivery robots ask pedestrians to push the crosswalk button for them and if you don’t press it they get stuck and can’t cross the street

I used to be able to keep these DAILY MEMOs to under 3 minutes, the last couple videos have been impossible to. ICE is escalating in Los Angeles, just look at the article version with every incident highlighted. This is only what we could confirm, only what we know of. @lataco.bsky.social

A food delivery robot outside the Israeli consulate now supports Palestine thanks to the protesters

I’m outside the Israeli consulate right now, where a group of Pro-Palestine protesters are taking over the streets in support of the captured activists on the Sumud Flotilla

For Charlie Kirk’s sake, we should all tone down the political rhetoric, right?

Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.” Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.

I’m pissed off about this. This man was slumped over on the sidewalk in the heat and was unresponsive when I asked if he wanted me to get him water. The city didn’t send a single ambulance or medical professional, just cops

The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat warning in Los Angeles and recommends people stay indoors and avoid outdoor exercise. Despite this warning, a sweep is still taking place on Cotner Avenue, where residents have been awake since 6 AM moving their stuff

Abolish ICE

New poll shared exclusively with Zeteo: Americans say it’s a genocide in Gaza by a margin of 14 points.

ICE raided the Westlake Home Depot in Los Angeles this morning. LATU organizers snapped some photos from the raid—one sticks out: ICE agents rolling up in a Penske rental truck. Wonder where they got the idea😬 Trying to avoid detection? Is this policy now? Are they now doing roving gangs in this?

Something I just learned tonight: When LA Metro performs tests on trains, they use cinder blocks to experiment with different weights on board

Probably the most unhinged counter protester I have ever encountered. This guy was harassing protesters outside the Tesla diner yesterday. Some footage credit goes to @acatwithnews.bsky.social for this one

Photo from the Tesla diner today

Inflatable Elon Musks doing a Nazi salute have been put up outside the Tesla diner in Hollywood

I’m currently outside the Tesla diner in Hollywood where a small group of protesters are demonstrating against Elon Musk from across the street

I am expanding my reporting to include articles that offer a much deeper dive on the issues that I report on. My substack is free so please go check it out and read my first article, which is about a new homeless shelter that recently opened in West LA substack.com/@johngreenla...

ICE GOONS hanging out in the lobby of Glendale Memorial Hospital

Border Patrol using Kanye West as the background music for their montage is their way of admitting what they won’t say out loud: They know they’re Nazis and they don’t care

The ones in masks are ICE 🧊 I love Los Angeles and the Mexican Culture, and will defend her with my last breath singing hit songs 🇺🇸💓🇲🇽🦅

Last shots of the night. National Guardsmen still guard the Metro Detention Center several hours after protesters in downtown Los Angeles dispersed. FBI crime scene tape surrounds an entrance to the facility. A funeral wreath reads “democracy,” and a piece of paper on the ground reads “press.”

Amid large amounts of criticism of LAPD’s handling of anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, its governing body (the Board of Police Commissioners) has cancelled their meeting scheduled for tomorrow. While they cancel a large amount of their weekly meetings, seems significant to report.

Footage of Fox News getting kicked out of the protest yesterday

ICE and FBI agents are currently inside Ambiance in downtown LA making arrests

The key to having a good vacation is to have a beer in the airport while waiting for your flight, no matter what time of day it is Having a beer at breakfast time is how you practice relaxing and not giving a shit
