This is literally the type of gag they did in silent films over 100 years ago. Keystone Cops. Except it’s real in Los Angeles this month. LASD and LAPD also were shooting at each other his weekend. Can’t make this stuff up. youtu.be/GwUUUqgfu-E?...

Elite best of the best? Best and brightest? Or …

FREE ANTHONY ORENDORFF PRESS CONFERENCE TOMORROW, Sat, June 21 @ 10 am - Anthony’s lawyers, family, & community members are hosting a presser outside Van Nuys jail LAPD arrested a local photojournalist during an immigration raid. This needs to be a bigger story. Please share!

Mood at @lapressclub.bsky.social rn: LAPD gets a lawsuit firstamendmentcoalition.org/news/post/jo... LASD gets a lawsuit firstamendmentcoalition.org/news/post/l-... And breaking news ... DHS gets a lawsuit www.aclusocal.org/en/press-rel...

Anyone have information/evidence about filmmaker Anthony Orendorff arrested by LAPD in Pacoima on Thursday? Looking for video, photo, etc. Especially showing what led to arrest. I hear lawyers en route (and others notified), and someone put me in touch with a relative Video of arrest itself:

For journalists covering protests in Los Angeles, join us for this online safety training on Monday. Colin Pereira, chief strategist on journalist safety for @pressfreedom.bsky.social (CPJ) will lead this session. All welcome, but will have some CA local focus. tinyurl.com/cpjsafety

Are you a journalist who covers protests or considering it? Join us Saturday! Christopher M. Post will address important on-the-ground safety info. Mickey Osterreicher is a photojournalist, lawyer, and reserve deputy. I'll share some LA updates, but this event is for journos across USA.

Holy hell

That’s right, we’re suing the feds.

NEW: The ACLU SoCal and some of the best lawyers in the game filed a federal lawsuit against Sec. Kristi Noem & DHS on behalf of myself and other reporters, as well as legal observers and protesters. @lapressclub.bsky.social @aclusocal.bsky.social @newsguild.org @acatwithnews.bsky.social

"Razor blade throat" is exactly how it felt both times I had COVID early in the pandemic. (Also, if I ever join a punk band, I've got an idea for a name ...)

NEW: After suing the LAPD and L.A. County Sheriff, the L.A. Press Club has sued the Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Kristi Noem alleging ICE, CBP, and HSI agents used excessive force and violated journalists' First Amendment rights while covering the L.A. protests.

TIL the National Anthem has had a Spanish language version since 1945, commissioned by the White House. This is the most perfect thing for the Dodgers. Maybe front office didn't want it, but you know Jackie Robinson, Fernando Valenzuela, and Vin Scully are cheering her from heaven.

Can't stop. Won't stop. On the heels of our lawsuit over LAPD's unlawful treatment of journalists covering protests, @lapressclub.bsky.social join @statuscoupnews.bsky.social & @thesouthlander.com in a separate suit about LASD. Thank you to the attorneys fighting to allow the press to do its job.

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

fact check.

I had a few things to say on TV today about why the Los Angeles Press Club reached this point where we had to sue over LAPD's misconduct toward journalists. Thank you Spectrum News 1, which does a great job shining a spotlight on important civic issues in our community. #JournalismIsNotACrime

This is an excellent interview with @adamrose.bsky.social from the LA Press Club on why this injunction is sorely needed- and has been a long time coming spectrumnews1.com/ca/southern-...

Message to our members about the lawsuit we have filed over LAPD attacking press. Among reminders: "Above all, we hope you and your colleagues are OK. Some of you are not. Please take time for self care, your health and safety are more important than any story. " lapressclub.org/la-press-clu...

New from me for LA Public Press. What’s a little crossfire among friends? I found three calls from LAPD complaining about being gassed and shot by LASD. I have the audio! lapublicpress.org/2025/06/ice-...

Take 90 seconds to watch this whole thing. Such a succinct encapsulation of both history and the moment we're in. He paraphrases: "The arc of moral history is long and it bends toward justice. But it doesn't bend by itself."

In 1776, George Washington told the Continental Army they were fighting for the “fate of unborn millions.” He meant her. The kids are gonna be alright. Sounds like someone got an A+ in civics.

Here's the lawsuit filed by @lapressclub.bsky.social and @statuscoupnews.bsky.social against LAPD*. Thank you attorneys who powered through weekend. This is a first step. More when there's more... Full complaint: drive.google.com/file/d/1kOFl... *Technically City of Los Angeles and LAPD Chief.

In 2021, I made a slideshow based on 50+ incidents of police misconduct toward journalists. It covered all California over a 12 month period. The legislature responded with new laws to protect press. I just made a new one. It's bigger. It's worse. And it's just one week in Los Angeles.

Can confirm. For reporters covering this, it's in PACER or give me your email and I can forward a copy.

There's a recording in the thread below which may help, but if anyone has additional evidence (and source!) of LAPD and LASD shooting each other please let me know ASAP. I know some lawyers who would very much like to see it today, and they care enough to be working all Sunday night on it.

Los Angeles is excited to welcome everyone to the 2026 World Cup, 2027 Super Bowl, and 2028 Olympics. Also Los Angeles:
