I spent most of today seeking to meet with one of the many victims of ICE raids currently jailed in Downtown LA. While @chrclla.bsky.social focuses its efforts on impact litigation, my team boosts efforts on the ground whenever possible. What I saw speaks to the crisis in LA & beyond.

As I told @katecagle.bsky.social, city employees are already frustrated because they don't have the capacity or resources to deliver the games. But these budget hearings seem to confirm that the internal strategy is to eliminate jobs and rely on volunteers to do the actual megaevent preparations

I really miss having a reliable platform for breaking news - verified agencies that could post information in real time…with real people sharing and replying and adding their own vantage point. That requires accounts for weather, traffic, fire, police, elected official, etc all in one place :)

From a journalism perspective, non-white journalists in supposedly liberal outlets tried to diversify our newsrooms, push for marginalized people to be heard and treated seriously, and to reach out to young people. Instead, black and POC journos were sidelined and/or laid off.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater. (It follows that food systems contain many solutions to these problems.)

Deputies with rival “station tattoos” from Compton are battling it out in court this week, as a deputy with a “Gladiator” tattoo accused a deputy with an “Executioners” tattoo of leading a work slow down to undermine his authority. And yet national media, DOJ and AG ignore LA’s deputy gang crisis.
