Now: Hundreds of May Day ralliers are marching throughout the Westlake area of Los Angeles.

It’s been a year since the pro-Israel mob attack on the UCLA Palestine encampments. I think many people are unaware of how violent it was and how it came about. We have you covered. Me & @acatwithnews.bsky.social w contributions from @ericlevai.bsky.social leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/pre...

W/ @melbuer.bsky.social for @lapublicpress.bsky.social - 55,000 LA County SEIU union workers joined for 48 hours of picket lines, passionate speeches, and civil disobedience. lapublicpress.org/2025/04/14-l...

Greetings! SEIU 721, who represents 55,000 LA County workers, are rallying outside the Kenneth Hahn Hall Of Administration. The union began its strike last night. There are 1,000+ here. Speakers are saying that negotiators are speaking with representatives from County Supervisors right now.

Greetings! I’m here on Marengo Street, where SEIU Local 621, which represents 55,000 LA County workers, is picketing at Los Angeles General Medical Center. SEIU has alleged at least 44 Unfair Labor Practice violations during this contract bargaining cycle.

Greetings! Haven’t seen these elsewhere but have seen a lot of discussion regarding the city attorney’s decision to file charges against two people regarding the encampment at UCLA in April of last year. Edan On is charged with PC 242 and PC 417(a)(1)

Greetings! There’s a rally planned in an hour for the Walk Away movement in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, speakers include former US House Rep Matt Gaetz. A counter protest of roughly 30 people are here ahead of the rally.

Greetings! There is a comedy show headlines by Gavin McInnes at HaHa Comedy Club in North Hollywood in a few minutes. Security is quite noticeable; there’s one with a metal detector.

Hey folks—hate to ask but I’m in the hole $400. I’m driving down to a college in SoCal this week to give a guest lecture. My tires were to the point where they were dangerous to drive on, had to replace. I’m missing work for it already & am in a tough spot. Anything helps. bsky.app/profile/lcrw...

Here’s the agenda for LA’s Board of Police Commissioners for Tuesday, April 15

BREAKING: the Supreme Court orders the Trump administration to facilitate the return of Abredo Garcia, the Maryland man mistakenly sent to El Salvador.

First piece for @lapublicpress.bsky.social - The Los Angeles police officers who shot and killed 40-year-old Yong Yang in his parents’ Koreatown apartment last year will largely avoid any formal discipline. lapublicpress.org/2025/04/lapd...

Still gathering details on the police shooting a woman last night on 1200 Eagle Rock Dr, but gonna go ahead and say I’m pretty disappointed that the woman who was shot by the police being a NYT bestselling author described as “the bassist from Weezer’s wife” by some outlets.

NOW: The commission has just voted on potential discipline for the officers. tactical debrief, one sergeant one, one police officer three administrative disapproval for one police officer drawing an exhibition of a firearm, in policy lethal use of force, in policy, no further action

Greetings! I’m here at today’s LAPD Commission meeting. I’d tell you what the agenda is, but it isn’t posted online. Somewhat well attended compared to previous meetings.

For three decades, owners Del and Sue Howison turned Burbank’s Dark Delicacies into more than just a store—it was a sanctuary for the macabre, a gathering place where horror legends like William Friedkin mingled with diehard fans. Story TK. Full video: youtu.be/xKIDb6dUzpA?...

NEW: Thousands of college age partygoers descend upon the beach town of Isla Vista for a “unsanctioned,” party called Deltopia. A full video of what @jwhendricks.bsky.social and I saw: youtu.be/Y8aBY0gRmeU?... Write up coming soon.
