Once again, it is not up to the police department to determine who is and isn’t press, nor do I have any faith that possessing an LAPD press pass will actually keep journalists safe. In fact, it’s likely to do the opposite, and drive a wedge between LAPD sanctioned “press” and indies w/out the pass

Councilmember Ysabel Jurado has introduced a motion to protect journalists covering protests. The motion: LAPD will create a public campaign on how to obtain LAPD-issued press passes along w/ signing MoUs between press groups and the city to create an agreement on conduct at protests.

Councilmember Ysabel Jurado Introduces Motion to Bolster Protections for Journalists Covering Protests

LOS ANGELES – Today, Councilmember Ysabel Jurado introduced a motion to bolster protections for journalists covering protests and other public demonstrations in Los Angeles, ensuring they can report freely and safely.

The motion follows a federal lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department, citing multiple instances in which officers fired less-lethal projectiles at journalists covering protests. A judge subsequently issued a Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting such targeting, reaffirming the critical role of the press in keeping the public informed and enabling civic participation.

“When the press can freely and safely do its job, the public can participate fully in our democracy,” said Councilmember Ysabel Jurado. “Our responsibility as a City is to make sure those who report the truth are protected, not punished, for doing their jobs.”

State law does not require specific press credentials for journalists covering protests. LAPD Media Guidelines note that press badges are “optional tools,” but ambiguity in verifying press status has led to constitutional violations, costly settlements, and federal court intervention, highlighting the urgent need for clear, standardized guidelines to protect members of the press and safeguard taxpayer dollars.

Councilmember Jurado’s motion calls on the LAPD to develop a public campaign explaining how members of the press can obtain an LAPD press badge. It also calls for collaboration with several City departments to create a Memorandum of Understanding between the LAPD, the Los Angeles Press Club, and the Radio & Television News Association of Southern California. The MOU would establish a shared code of conduct for First Amendment demonstrations, setting clear, operational standards for how LAPD engages with journalists.

The motion also calls on the City Attorney, CLA, and CAO to develop

Here's a photo of the old Chicago streetcar rails under Western Ave. that have been uncovered by construction. I took this from the Brown Line platform.

A broad city street. In the middle, surrounded by orange traffic barrels, a squarish section of road has been gouged away, leaving a depression that is maybe half a foot deep. Through the middle, parallel to the road, are 3 thick rusty lines: old streetcar rails.

I think these tariffs are stupid, but that high-end estimate is enough for an $88/mo universal basic income for all citizens of all ages. Combine that with replacing the standard deduction, and the UBI is doubled to $176/mo. For a family of 4, that's ~$700/mo. That would certainly help pay for food.

Trump's own lawyer just admitted to the Supreme Court that American consumers pay 30%-80% of these insane Trump tariffs.

Over the next 10 years, Trump says they will collect over $4T in tariffs.

So that means American families are going to be paying $1.2T-$3.3 trillion dollars in TARIFF TAXES.
