Elected's outrage at the national guard seems so nakedly political. They called them in 2020. They were all over downtown interacting with protestors. THe mayor made it illegal to be outside past 9p.....

This is second action of its kind this week. ADAPT!! Truly under no circumstance should you just hand yourself over to the state. It’s very unserious in this moment. Despite what these people are saying - you DO NOT need to get arrested for the movement. Be water.
Avoid arrest. Be water. Do what you can to prevent the pigs from getting their hands on you and your comrades. Please know if you hit the streets - YOU DO NOT NEED TO GET ARRESTED for the movement. Mask up & look out for one another 🫡

This guy is kinda assuming the point of direct action is to convince a majority of Americans of something. What if the point is to make it hard for ICE to operate? What if the point is to mobilize radicals? Sway Angelenos?
Cultural disconnect: Americans have a negative opinion of protests in general People on the left have a positive one Protests have an uphill battle to positively affect public opinion vs negatively. But liberals are cavalier about them.

Interesting to compare the 2020 LA curfew with the current one. In 2020, the curfew was city-wide and without exceptions (from my memory) The current curfew seems much more "narrowly tailored." But did LA try less restrictive policies? What were the threats justifying?

“Folks have got legal counsel and have decided not to accept our help. I think others are kind of gaming the system a little bit,” said CM Curren Price… “They’ve had it good living in the hotel rent free for several months. They want that to last as long as it can.”

Got a call from a number I didn't recognize while at work. It was my brother calling from Union Station. This morning he was unexpectedly released from prison!!!

"Wednesday" star Jenna Ortega reveals to New Yorker the "LA City Council Agenda" was her latest read. "It blows my mind that Monica Rodriguez continues to second all of these motions for Kevin de Leon. He needs to resign, & maybe Monica does too."

Today, the LAPD and @LAPDChiefMoore held a press conference on 3 recent uses of force that resulted in death, and posted the videos online after the conference began. Here is video of the tasing of Keenan Darnell Anderson, who later died of cardiac arrest (heavy TW):

this isnt even pro cop lol. its just fully a scare tactic
Gone in under 3 minutes. These smash-and-grab burglars hit this small business for handcrafted jewelry, art, as well as high-end shoes and clothing. Employees stated officers arrived within three minutes but the crooks were already gone.

we put 31 addresses in an excel file and you should be so proud
Since signing my executive directive yesterday, more than 31 affordable & temporary housing projects have been identified as potentially eligible to be expedited. That means thousands more beds available faster and cheaper. This is an emergency and we’re treating it like one.

Across the board, so many ppl I know believe this stuff
There are those who say this can’t happen. That one cannot overdose from simply touching or being near #Fentanyl Well, you’re wrong. This drug is extremely dangerous and has taken countless lives. #BeAware #BeSafe foxnews.com/us/florida-cop-r…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlines… Fentanyl in powder form cannot be absorbed through the skin, and presents minimal risk of exposure. The symptoms of fentanyl exposure include lethargy, unconsciousness, and constricted pupils, while the officer in the report had dilated pupils and was alert enough to drive.
