Abandoned ice cream carts, fruit, and taco stands. Trucks with broken windows left in the middle of the streets. It’s the new reality ICE has brought to our beautiful city. This taco stand appears to have been hit last night, 6/27 in South LA by Florence and Gramercy.

If only the Mayor used her power to order police to … A) stop unmarked vehicles and masked vigilantes to identify them. B) follow agents and document and report every civil, constitutional, and human rights violation. She can’t order them to interfere, but this she can.

Good

Adrian Andrew Martinez, the 20-year-old U.S. citizen that was arrested by ICE while working at Walmart, sits down with our reporter, Aisha Wallace-Palomares, to give us insights into what he experienced. Amongst the new revelations, he shares that he was fired by Walmart.

“I don’t know if eating tacos can stop ICE. I know that spending money at Latino-owned restaurants keeps families afloat. I know that showing up for your community matters. And I know that fear thrives in silence, in emptiness, in absence.” ~ @erickgalindo.bsky.social lataco.com/10000-tacos-...

Wired saw it subscription’s rise after removing the paywall for FOIA based reporting.

Free Free Palestine!

It is an honor to stand alongside our friends at Lajee Celtic in support of the people of Palestine.

remember this: "why did you pull me over" "I'm not discussing my day" "Am I being detained or am I free to go" "I invoke the fifth" basically SHUT THE FUCK UP www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nkdh...

Someone has gone through and actually run the numbers on molestation crimes against children. The politicians who commit these crimes are overwhelmingly Republican. 67% of politicians convicted between February 10, 2023 and May 23, 2024 nationwide were Republicans. www.whoismakingnews.com

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

L.A. TACO has confirmed that Adrian Andrew Martinez, the 20yr-old US citizen taken by federal agents while working at Walmart in Pico Rivera, is being held at the federal building in downtown L.A. ~ Aisha Wallace-Palomares reporting.

This article accurately captures my 15+ years of experience living in NYC for many of the events described

Y'all notice they're rounding up most of these "freeloading" immigrants AT WORK???!!

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

“So I have two granddaughters, is that okay?” It really is this easy.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Was late to my nephew’s choir performance at his fancy Bronx HS. His mom saved a seat next to 2 vaguely familiar women, maybe her friends I had met at one point? We start chatting. They tell me I’m a good uncle for coming all the way uptown for this. Now I have a pic of me with Kelly Ripa & SJP.
