I tried to interview former LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva about why he was running for sheriff in this year’s election. I was thrown out of the event. Are you voting for a sheriff that runs from reporters?

Did you know Los Angeles will elect a sheriff this year? Many voters are not aware of the race or its high stakes. I went to a candidate forum hosted by the National Alliance for Equal Justice in America to meet the ones who showed up to talk to voters.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Agents with the Department of Homeland Security who have shot and killed people have histories of making racist, sexist remarks or celebrating violence

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

Update: The federal indictment against Kyle Wagner confirms our reporting, that Wagner was arrested and charged with cyberstalking right-wing agitator Jayden Scott (who allegedly stalked a Minnesota reporter before this) and NOT federal agents. /

In 2018, after Musk infamously claimed that he had the funding to take Tesla private, his PR consultant went to Jeffrey Epstein for help convincing the Saudis to put up the cash he didn't actually have. Epstein also strategized on press coverage of Musk and recommended names for Tesla's board.
The Trump admin's indictments over a protest inside of a church target central figures in the movement to protecting the rights of Black Americans: “They definitely wanted to use us as a trophy, that’s the reality of all this."

Protesters are turning to economic disruption to fight ICE. Last Friday, protesters across the U.S. missed work and school as part of an anti-ICE shutdown. Thousands showed up in Downtown LA to protest the agency, many—including City Councilmember Nithya Raman—supporting calls for a general strike.

One detail getting lost in the coverage of Don Lemon's arrest?
The church at the center of the case has ties to the Christian nationalist movement, including the “TheoBros," a loose network of mostly millennial, extremely online Christian nationalist pastors, podcasters, and shitposters.

My statement on the arrests of journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon.
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning
I was sent this video of agents at her door:
Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists.
Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews.
All Black. All doing their jobs.
