Bellingcat is gold standard "Video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man BEFORE THE FIRST shot was fired." "At least 10 shots being heard in total. Most of them are fired after a brief delay, when the man is already lying motionless on the ground."

CalMatters spoke with a number of migrants about their arrests and detentions after the first weekend of LA raids. Their accounts raise potential legal questions about the government’s operation. cal.news/4kaZ5su

Taken: What happens after an LA immigration raid

Their families won’t know what happened to them. They’ll be shackled, whisked away to another state, forced to subsist for days on potato chips, apples, water, and the occasional cold sandwich.

Taken: What happens after an LA immigration raid Masked men pull up quickly and approach Latino men. When someone runs, they’re taken. When they don’t answer a question, they’re taken. When they can’t produce papers, they’re taken.  W/@WendyFry_ @LAHepler @AnatRubin1 @add

Once again, a false narrative is and was being pushed out on the arrest of a U.S. citizen in Pico Rivera, CA. Don't take our word for it, check out @USAttyEssayli take on it. This subject just caught a federal case for assault on a federal agent. DON'T ASSAULT.

Father Peter O’Riley says is standing calm as LAPD fire less lethal rounds all around him. O’Riley says he’s here because he’s an immigrant and he supports free speech and the right to peacefully protest.

This story, on "the beginning of the end for The San Diego Union-Tribune," is plenty grim for all its descriptions of Alden Global Capital slashing newsroom jobs. And then it drops in this paragraph, in case you're not depressed enough. @add @NiemanLab niemanlab.org/2023/11/this-i…
U-T employees, meanwhile, were wondering whether they still had a job and, if they did, under what conditions. Working for Alden brings with it not just job insecurity, but also actual health hazards: In the Philadelphia suburbs, workers at an Alden-owned paper said they navigated gross bathrooms, rats, mildew and fallen ceilings. In Denver, where Alden cut the newspaper staff by at least 75 percent, employees that remained reported breathing problems after being moved to a plant with poor air quality. In Monterey, Calif., the hot water got cut from the bathrooms.

'After you hit the Alden era of ownership, there might just be no next step. You just exist, in mediocrity or worse, as they drain out as many profits from the existing print product as possible & divert those profits to other investments.' 🧵With Alden, the industry is bleak.

I wanted to understand what Alden Global Capital’s purchase of @sdut meant for San Diegans. My conclusion: This is the beginning of the end for the 155-year-old paper. voiceofsandiego.org/2023/10/…

This Is the Beginning of the End for the Union-Tribune

Under Alden, there's no plan for the future. There's just revenue extraction for as long as a generation of older newspaper subscribers live to keep paying their bills.

Excellent piece by @add about how Alden Capital is killing local journalism and why that matters. “The death of a city’s major journalism outfit isn’t a tragedy only if you’re one of those blessed souls who holds some deep reverence for the fourth estate.” voiceofsandiego.org/2023/10/…

Can someone please explain to me why the US Commission on Civil Rights has not yet revoked its appointment of Cleta Mitchell to the US Election Assistance Commission's Board of Advisors? @FSFP @GenVoteUS theintercept.com/2023/09/13/… by @add

Trump Lawyer Cleta Mitchell Escaped Georgia Indictment — and Still Leads Election Denial Movement

Trump adviser Cleta Mitchell is arguably the most central player in the attempt to steal the 2020 election who isn’t facing prison time.

🏆 Reveal’s “My Neighbor the Suspected War Criminal” show has received @opcofamerica’s Lowell Thomas Award for best radio, audio or podcast coverage of international affairs. Congrats to the team, including @RadioIke, Neroli Price, @brettmyers and @add! bit.ly/reveal-warcriminals
A screenshot from the Overseas Press Club of America's website that gives details about the Lowell Thomas Award Reveal won for its "My Neighbor the Suspected War Criminal" show. One notable detail about the show from the judges: "The scope was at once both human and global; it had compelling characters and a personal connection for the reporter, Ike Sriskandarajah. Among the highlights was an interview with federal officials who were asked whether the government had ever charged anyone with a war crime. Their stumbling response is a great example of journalists holding public officials to account."

State agencies aren’t monitoring anti-abortion clinics that offer free ultrasounds and other medical care. A Kentucky nurse’s complaints against one facility illustrate the lack of accountability.
