Not mine! I put my blood, sweat, and like, many tears into my articles! They come out late because I am but a human and living under fascism makes for really bad cases of writer's block!

She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

The story is about palliative care in a world of zombies. Jamie, the father, has adapted to a world of survival but he's a poor provider and lacks the empathy to care for his wife. The journey in the end is about Spike finding someone to provide a humane death for his mother.

Law enforcement needs to rein in ICE's anti-press abuses and investigate ICE attacks on independent journalists in Chicagoland.

A coalition of press freedom orgs explained why in a letter to the Broadview Police Department and Illinois State Police.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

The people of Los Angeles deserve more than quick soundbites and sensationalized coverage.

Together, we can make sure the stories of L.A. are told — and remembered: givebutter.com/lataco_october

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants.

The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.
How federal agents are terrorizing American citizens
Last week, hundreds of heavily armed federal agents descended on an apartment complex in Chicago, arriving in Black Hawk helicopters and moving trucks.

NEW: Second, expanded TRO issued in Oregon case challenging Trump's National Guard deployment to the state bars any state or D.C. National Guard being deployed to Oregon.

Update at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/judge-bloc...
[Update, 11:45 p.m.: By Sunday night, a second temporary restraining order was issued in the case, barring the Trump administration from sending any National Guard federalized under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to Oregon from any state or D.C. The move followed actions by the Trump administration overnight to send members of the California National Guard to Oregon and plans to do so as to the Texas National Guard as well.

At a hastily called hearing on Sunday night, Immergut harshly questioned the Justice Department lawyer before her, Eric Hamilton, asking him — while noting that he is an officer of the court — “Do you believe this is appropriate way to deal with my order?”

Issuing the second TRO in as many days in the case, Immergut called the Trump administration’s actions in apparent response to her first order “in direct contravention” of it.

Plestia Alaqad’s new book features her diary entries reporting on the ground in Gaza for 45 days after October 7. after a hospital is bombed on day 10, she uses the word genocide.

2 years later—as the UN has finally called it one—she says, “turns out, that's only the beginning.” @teenvogue.com
Journalist Plestia Alaqad Is Publishing Her Diaries From Gaza: "A Dystopian World"
"Every time I read it, I just feel disbelief — is this real? Did I really live that? Are there still thousands of people in Gaza living that?”

How do you feel about supporting the Dodgers this season? Erick Galindo asks L.A. TACO staff and the answers are mixed.

SO Dodgers (and Phillies) are off today. I have a question: ICE raids are happening in many cities. What are their local teams doing to support immigrant communities? What are their local media doing to highlight their team owners' Trump support?
